Thanks, Everyone. I appreciate your comments and compliments. I'm sure RCK does also.

We do have a lot of pretty good roads for bicycling around here. The county and township roads are well maintained and traffic is usually relatively light. That and the scenery (and the pies) make riding around here down right pleasurable.

p8rider,
What kind of gloves did you get? I'm in the market for some myself.

Again, Thanks everybody.
