Thanks, Susan, and everybody. I enjoyed laughing at the suggestions as well. I guess I'll have to wait a little while for the mud--there's mostly snow on the trails right now. But I'm excited to get out in the woods. One other question -- the fellow at the lbs suggested that I don't put on clipless pedals right away. What do y'all think? I've been clipless on my road bike for years. I guess I'm sorta changing the thread. Maybe I'll post this on the mt. bike thread.
