My shop is actually a mile from my house..I've gotten to know the people there pretty well..one of them keeps asking me when I'm going to join them..I'm just not ready to do a 27 mile ride yet..I'm getting pretty comfortable with shifting (my "teacher" took me out last week and kicked my ass for 2 hrs)..but I gotta learn how to clip in and out first..
enough about me...back to the venting...this thread is very interesting
