I have thoroughly enjoyed the forum for the breadth of knowledge and, ofcourse, opinion therein. I reside on the warm, wet, and, hilly west coast of Canada in Vancouver, BC. I am happy to be back to some limited cycling now that my little ones are no longer so little. It was a good summer for riding my minimally miled and recently upgraded 1990 Miyata 1000LT and I got a real kick out of being back in the saddle again. Regards, Fishsticks.
