Rochester Flyers is NOT Rochester Minnesota's bicycle messenger service. Rochester Flyers is NOT a cycling club or race team. Rochester Flyers is NOT a bike shop or a company. Rochester Flyers is just me, going on rides, attempting to return to racing, doing alleycats and spewing my opinion online.

Leap day. I did a mountain bike (hare and hound) race in Hawaii in 1992 on a leap day. The organizer (a friend of mine) said he'll always put on a race on a leap Saturday. I guess I'll have to plan to be in Hawaii on February 29, 2020.

And for some reason when I think leap year, I think of halflinks. I really don't know what the connection of an extra day in a year and a chain link that is both, an inner and an outer in one link is. Maybe cause a halflink adds an extra single roller (link) to a chain. Here's an article on halflinks.

Whatever. I hope you take this extra day and get a ride in. At least to work. Otherwise your extra day is wasted.
