Bikes: I have been riding a Trek 800Sport MTB to work since 2002. Before that, I had an old Raleigh. I purchased a Trek 2.1 in early July, 2009. I use this bike for recreation. The Trek 800 is my utility bike.
Wonder how you're doing
Wonder how you're doing so far. I'm in Limerick. Less snow here than there (gulf stream). I would heed warnings about black ice. You can't see it until your cheek is in the tarmac. It sucks and it hurts, especially one's pride. Goretex is the answer to rain. I have goretex boots, overpants (you can get some pretty light-weight pants if heat is an issue, and a good jacket. I use neoprene gloves with wool liners. I don't get wet and it rains here a hellavalotmore here than there.
