Thanks, everybody. It's certainly the best thing I've done for myself this year, and that includes bringing home Mrs. Jones!

With whom, by the way, I had my longest ride of the year so far - 16.22 miles. I know that doesn't sound like much to many of you, but it's steady improvement for me, coming back after 2-3 years out of the saddle. When I got Mrs. Jones, a 5-miler was just long enough to get a workout. Now it takes me 5 miles to get warmed up!
