owlice, so sorry to hear about you too I truly sympathize!

Thanks for the well wishes from everyone. I haven't been on the TE site for a little while but have been bogged down with work and getting healthy again. This is a campaign year for me and I'll be busy with that most of the summer but expect to do a significant amount of campaigning via bicycle once I'm able to get back on.

In the mean time I am enjoying vicarious riding thanks to all of you!

Miles of happy smiles to you all.
