fortunately, the threads that are resurrected are automatically sent to those who subscribe on that thread. yes, this goddess1222 is still around, but the old fear came back when i got sick 2 years ago, after taking some long rides. (long story). i haven't ridden in about a year. but, how funny this thread popped up, because my bike is staring at me waiting for me to ride. these boards were a lifesaver for me when i was first starting out. now, maybe they will help save me again. i have been thinking about jumping back in the game...... divine coincidence? hmmmmmmm.......
