You guys are so wonderful. I feel already a little better, and more confident about this already. So much good advice. I have to say, Ken, I agree 100% about exuding confidence, and even as close as two years ago, I wouldn't have been ready for this. Cycle commuters are incredibly admirable folk-I only commute everywhere but work usually.

Harlot, that's what I'm doing, only for their competitor... Yeah, I'm going to stick to the main roads now, after so many recommendations. It should be peaceful, anyway, not as much wind.

I'll let y'all know tomorrow how it went. So far the temp.'s been holding at the very low 30's...

Thanks again, guys.
