Hi Rob,
Sounds like you're moving right along, good for you!! I'm not sure what good a mirror does though, seems to me if someone is bearing down on you or is too close by the time you see them it's too late. I'm sure others here use them and they will disagree with me. They also rate pretty low on the cool scale if you ask me, but if they make you feel safer who cares???
I'm curious to know what kind of bike you have?
