Debi-

Will do. It would be really neat to have a NC TE get together!! I'm kinda jealous of the CA gals...

This trip was kind of nutty - dealing with family made our schedule really unpredictable. I'll be back up the nights of the 7th and 8th, but I'll be in depositions all day both days so...I probably won't get much riding in

I was really glad for the Etowah rides - for anyone else visiting who's used to flat land - you'll be fine on them. The hills are short and, with one very short (1/8 mile) noteable exception, not steep at all. They really are an incredible suggestion.

I have a nice farmers burn on my arms, so I know what you mean. That's the last time I listen to dh when he says you don't need sunscreen.

The bike at liberty - It was a Specialized Roubaix. Beautiful and a perfect fit! But alas - I didn't need to do that much credit card damage and I'm not sure I want a carbon fiber bike (I'm thinking maybe ti or steel - current is aluminum). We actually discovered that DH and I ride the same size frame.
