上世纪80年代，不断有移民从上座部佛教国家到来，尤其是柬埔寨和老挝，5个亚

发帖数: 1654 | 7 Weather forecast says it will be raining for the whole week. So when I see a
two-hour window without raining at Accuweather, I decided to go out for a
short ride (my regular cycling route).
At first it was pretty windy. Apart from that, everything is fine. It was
drizzling a little, but I was lucky to escape the rain. After all the climbs
, there came one descending (0.4 mile long 11.9% grade 4 climb the other way
