Hi Clare- Yes, this is a wonderful group as well as the BJ. Sounds like you had quite a year. May 2006 bring you many pleasures on your bike and with us here.

It would be nice to know where you are from- can't tell from your posts. That way we can encourage you to bike with others from this site should you wish some fun company. I found a whole group of women from this site living in areas from Sacramento to the SF Bay Area. It's been an enriching experience!
