thanks Karen!

and I forgot to mention I almost crashed on a 'graded' bridge?
not sure what you call those, it's made out of metal..
it was very shaky and unsteady and the cross wind hit me hard and i lost control, the metal seemed to have taken all control of my bike, pushing my front wheel to the left and leaving my back wheel to the right, and to the left and to the right.. I screamed "****!!!!" absolutly thinking i was going down but I somehow regained control of my bike and made it through..
I was shaking non stop, that was so close.. I got complimented on my bike handling skills but
I think someone was just watching over me tell you the truth..
came to find out later that some in the group usually walk that bridge. I know I will next time!!!
