NoRacer-Now we are certain that biking is a religion for you. We should all say a prayer before we head out into these freezing temps and icy roads. I imagine a shrine of sorts, old beater bike with melted wax all over it, various tokens and talismans from rides past.

GB and Barry-Thanks for the route. If I go I'll probably lightrail to BWI. Any advice on how to get from BWI LR station back to route? I imagine it's via the BWI trail.

Got some new lights! My Madone presents a bit of a problem with that lozenge shaped seat mast so I got this Princeton Tec Swerve that should fit. I'll find out when I pick up my bike from Joes this afternoon. One year service, they're replacing the chain and cables. What's the word on this? Guy at Joes says replace chain every fifteen hundred miles or so as to not wear out cassette, I have my doubts. What do you guys do? NR-Going by this rule would mean you would go through five + chains a year.
I'm sure they're making a buck but I trust the shop to some degree. I told them to take the crank off as during the ride with GB it sounded like a family of mice were living in there and felt like pedaling through a jar of gravel. I'm also get up on the trainer while I'm there and see if I can't get a better fit.

The lights I got. I just got tired of changing lights from bike to bike. I have a NiteRider set up on my 520. Now just need to get out and use them. GB-What are you doing next Monday?
