Well, I'm in South Dakota. That's just around the corner from North Carolina. My aunt and uncle live there, but I don't know that they'll be back in this area for a little while and they typically fly when they do come back.

Thank you all for your comments. I have considered selling my hybrid, but while it doesn't keep up with my roadbike, it is a decent bike for my husband to use when we go out on the road. He's riding it next weekend on the MS150.

We'll see if a good deal shows on my doorstep. There was a Trek 820 on ebay last night that I think went for like $182 plus $60 for shipping. Unless someone bid it up at the last minute. I considered trying to get it.

I have to return some gloves to scheel's today. That's where I got my hybrid. I may ask them what's possible. And, they sometimes have crazy mark downs on their bikes, especially know that the season is winding down and in a month or so they'll be moving in ski gear.
