Hey Kathryn,

I love my bike, too. I just took her to the Three Gap 50 ride in Dahlonega, GA. It was both of ours first ride (on road) in the mountains. I never had to walk!!! One of the climbs was eight miles!!!!! And my average speed was twice what I was expecting. AND my picture from the event photographer is really nice!!!

If you order the crash pack, you should order some Brave Soldier Antiseptic Healing Ointment, too. I use it on everything, even my bird when he had laser surgery, and on my other bird who I rescued who had been "scalped" by adult pigeons.

It's pretty common to twist the seat when you fall- good thing you had your tools with you! Usually when that happens, you have a nice bruise on whatever part of your thigh caused the seat to twist...
