The Wrong Permanent

Clearly, some of us "Triangle area" types were thinking of trying the wrong Permanent this last Saturday.

Instead of the Tar Heel, or the Coffee Run, perhaps we should have been thinking Triple-L:

Permanent Route Name _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _Distance Date _ _ _Finishers DNF
NC: Leesville-Leasburg-Leesville (L-L-L) 204 _ 2010/12/11 _ _1 _ _ _0

Cert# _ _ _ RUSA# Name _ _ _ _Club / ACP Code
RUSA-T13163 _621 _M., Byron E North Carolina Bicycle Club / 933045

Alternatively, perhaps a Friday ride would have been even better: 
 
The Wilkes County Rumble worked for some, but I suspect that it might not have worked for me.

Congrats to those NC randos that already have their "R" ride in this month. 
 
Weather looking brutal (by NC standards) this coming week.
 
The last two years, the last 12 days of December have been better riding weather than earlier in the month.
(Or at least I got in the lion's share of my December rides the 20th thru the 31st both years.) 
I'm hoping the weather moderates after this week.
