Boy I have been out of touch I haven't posted anything on this thread in awhile. It has been a hectic Fall in my life, Dad spent some time in the Hospital, then mom hurt herself and ended up there at the same time. For the first time in my life I feel our roles switching and now I am the parent. But I digress the commuting has been well today it is foggy and mild and very light on the traffic. I have increased my ride from 14 miles a day to 20 and will add to that here next month. I had to put some serious change into an over haul on the commuter and on top of that I have put some money down on a new Bianchi Grizzly I have been looking for something to ride around on the soft pack trails around here and this one is light fast and of course a steel frame it will also make a good commuter during our wet and dirty winters we have around here hopefully I will have it payed off just after the holidaze. Until then I just go in there every couple of weeks give the LBS my wallet on drool over the new toy.
