Thanks for the info. I'll be sure to wipe her down.

I have ridden down the highway a lot and know how to dodge the buses, right turns, etc. My biggest irritation is the folks that ride "against traffic" in the bus/bike lane. Why do they think that is safer?

I usually ride my beach bike (which is a 7 speed Calois) but I'm bringing my road bike down because I want to do a more serious ride!

We have a condo at 137th street in O.C. and go down there most weekends during the summer. My goal is to ride the Seagull Century in Oct so I wanna practice on my new road bike (which I'm still getting used to).

If you ever want to go for a ride, let me know!

Cindy
