I am so busted (and right here in cyberspace!). I am living proof that women are smarter than men! Yes, I made a rookie mistake and paid for it dearly (leaving a fair amount of my epidermal layer on the tarmac). You need to come out more--see what fun you're missing? Jane assured me she wasn't going to post a ride report (did she tell you about the bee that stung her face, or how Bates' seat post clamp screw busted?), but she didn't promise not to tell everyone individually! I will persevere and I will improve (if I live that long...). Thanks for your concern; always nice to know someone cares...

Onward and upward!
Aden
