I'm excited to hear your experience! I almost bought one a few weeks ago, but my Novara Bonanza is hard to beat.

Happy New Years Dudes!
We’ve been in Athen, GA. Just partying with my bro and sister-in-law. Went out with a bunch of their friends and colleagues to their local bar in their Normal town neighborhood.
Basically slept all day today and now burning the midnight oil, it’s after 10PM here, the girls are asleep, and the boys are watching UT play with a couple bottles of rose.

Happy New Year!
went for last ride of the year NYE morning, played frisbee with the kids in the park, went to a party in Montclair all evening. Having young children we only stayed until 9:30. Came home and put the kiddos to bed, and hung out until midnight.
finally have a hitch on the Taos so maybe I’ll actually ride outside of Monrovia soon?

Just saw this thread, sorry I'm late to the party. We changed things up radically this year, and hit up the UK (Wales) for New Years! NYE hiked up to a very cool Neolithic stone circle (Moel Ty Uchaf):
New Years morning, froze my jumblies off plunging into Llyn Tegid, near Bala:
Topped off 01/01/24 by taking in a proper English football match, Wrexham v. Barrow, at the Cae Ras (Wrexham stadium). Fantastic game, Wrexham kicked Barrow's pen-ôl 4-1!
Here's to a great 2024 for all!

Pretty cool seeing some Soccer!

Wrexham is the hot ticket right now, and to get to see a match at their grounds is priceless (well, I'm sure it did have a price). We toured Craven Cottage (Fulham) last Christmas. The oldest active stadium in the London area. Guided tour - but we did not catch a match.
PS: Fulham just beat Arsenal 2-1 a couple days back!

Does Craven Cottage still have the random Michael Jackson statute out the front? Mohammed Al Fayed (former Harrods owner and Dodi's dad of Princess Diana fame) used to be the owner and had it erected - cos he could. All the supporters were wondering what the hell he was thinking
I was part of a consortium of blokes that had season tickets for Fulham, at the time they were the cheapest London team to see and our reasoning was every other team in the premier league has to come play there so we'd get to see all the good teams at least once. Problem is you invariably get sucked into supporting the underdog. Them taking down Arsenal would have been insane. I was there when they drew with Liverpool one year and there were some proper hard men crying with happiness in the stands. The passion is unbelievable, I miss it.

They played Liverpool at Anfield a couple of weeks ago. I didn't give them a snowball's chance in hell. I figured if they escaped 2-0 that would be a huge victory. Well, Fulham actually went up 3-2 with about 5 mins remaining. Unfortunately, Liverpool got two in rapid succession for a 4-3 win. 7 goals in a Premier League match. It was amazing!Does Craven Cottage still have the random Michael Jackson statute out the front?

I didn't see a statue of Michael Jackson at Craven Cottage. I only saw this guy:
I believe it's George Cohen. Not sure who the tall doofus and the two blondes are.

I didn't set the Premiere League schedule, and from what I've seen, the games aren't a great experience for a 12 year old girl.What!?!? That's like going on the Whistler tour and not ride
And your Whistler analogy falls short with me. Being a spectator is not the same as being a participant!
But I get your point. I was in London during the middle of the PL season and didn't bother to catch a match of any kind.

Fellow Cottager fans! My first visit to the UK was with my son (then a HS senior) back in 2012, & his grad present was to take in a Chelsea match (his team). The only one that worked was v. Fulham at Craven Cottage, and I fell in love with the place, and the team. A perennial yo-yo club, I was worried that the loss of Mitrovic this year would doom them, but they've got cojones!Does Craven Cottage still have the random Michael Jackson statute out the front?
