bf
it's been over a year since my last commute (12 miles each way). the 2 bridges are completly repaired (wiped out by rain/flooding last year march, 2007) and i have rebuilt my commuter bike's drive-train. i took it, packed with gear, on a 3.5 mile trial run this evening (checking lights, brakes, air-zound, etc). it seems to be good to go!!
i'll let bf know how it goes!
feels (ALMOST) like christmas eve...used to when i was a kid :-)
