Actually, I have no idea whether a comma is required or not, that's why I asked The Grammar Queen. I always say it with a pause after "Amici Veloci", so assumed a comma was appropriate.

I think apostrophe abuse is a much more serious offense than comma misuse... unfortunately I'm guilty of both, and more. My big problem is what punctuation goes inside of a quote vs. outside - the rule doesn't make any sense to me (so I ignore it).

Back to the ride, I will be bringing the Kuh-Nobby, since a 30x34 sounds lovely for a long climb.
