Beautiful morning and a great ride.
It is good to be wearing my cycling gear again. There was no point when I was riding shorter versions of my commute.
DJ, congrats on the return. Having been hit twice myself, I know it takes some intestinal fortitude to get back on afterwards.
I was reading my latest issue of Bicycling magazine last night and they had a review of the Salsa (though they reviewed the geared version). I was
very envious. It sounded like the perfect bike for what I do (mostly commuting with the occasional club or charity ride).
