Thanks for all the feedback...great ideas. I do volunteer as an emergency responder for the local sheriff's dept but speed or at least faster than a bike is sometimes crucial. I plan to take the bike and go fishing, touring as well (want to do the Arizona Trail and the Great Divide Ride) just need to find a reason to get in some reasonable riding most other days...Don't want to go car free..it does get kind of crappy here in the winter and although I commute in the snow and sub zero temps, I would rather drive to the store when it's bad weather. Love my MGB so I drive that around a bit.(wonder if I can get my Magic Shine to replace some of the Lord of Darkness's lights on that thing) I really love the idea of 2 hours of riding in the morning for my espresso so I'm going to do that.
Damn, I really love cookies but if Darth may get me.........oh what the heck, I can out ride that dude!

Budicca,
Come on up and I'll buy the coffee!
