Yeah, I’m traveling on the 8th. I was planning to send it before the new year. The weather is preventing a ride here now so it’s just sitting in the garage. If the bike arrives before I do, it can...

Yeah, I know. I bought the MTB shorts years ago to hike and kayak. Then came the padded shorts. I’m ok with not buying a jersey. I will sometimes take the kids’ team jerseys but it makes them mad.

Yes, the back roads are kind of crap. I'm going to ask around with local riders and then get something in the spring. Maybe borrow a bike to see if I like it.
