Yes, you can be my "virtual mentor!" Seriously, you can look into helping other riders of all levels. I'm going to look into finding a class for new riders so I don't develop bad habits early. See, you can lead one of those in your area!

Oh, and the return on the Marin was very painless. They were very cool about it. I guess it was just that one guy who first answered the phone who was so slimy. (phew!).

I ordered the silver Classic, but I'll take whatever they've got! The purple looks pretty too, but they didn't have it in the shop so I didn't want to order it without seeing it. I'm just shocked I have any choices in selecting a bike!

I'm so anxious to ride. My husband took his bike out a bit today, so I rollerbladed behind him. I had to dust those blades off it's been so long, but I just wanted to get out there. Now that's a feeling I haven't had in a looooong time. I can't wait for my bike -- I'll keep you posted!

Again, thanks for everthing!
