I second the Cateye recommendation; I've had 4 different computers (1 cateye, 3 sigma) and only the sigma (albiet, just one of them) has had problems - mostly the magnetic contact points don't seem to register. Though, when the Sigma's do work, they work well - temp from -30 to +infinity.

I'm still going to have to root for the Mec wired computer. For $12 it really owns and no problems with interference since it's not wireless.
The Amy Millan Jet fuel yes.
In unrelated news <- getting contacts today mainly for cycling. Any pearls of wisdoms guys?

As for lenses, ALWAYS bring your glasses, JUST in case.
First time in lenses?

Sure cheaper than prescription sunglasses, and we'll be able to see your pretty eyes better.
So...time-ish at Jet Fuel? Will they have Tour on after work? Coverage doesn't come on til 8.

yo WES I like it!!! Still on for Jet?
Postive spin on going full Pro Kit!!!
Impersonating a pro will be a fantastic training tool, as everyone on two wheels is gonna have a go at you. You'll be fighting em off from the second you leave the house to the second you get home.

I may not wanna wear Pro Kit, but I will defend anyone that wishes to. If a million people don't because their neighbor won't, I'll tip my hat to the one person that does.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd, the entire west end is a parking lot. Molson Indy plus Corsa Italia plus the regular Friday commute equals me very happy that I cycle. I finished up the GT and it rides really swell....fast and tight and the 56 is a nice fit for me. Geez, I am happy as hell today
