Wow, been awhile since I've logged on! I haven't been on my bike (or doing much of anything else) lately. We're short-staffed at work right now and I've been putting in more hours than usual. I've been so tired that I often crash when I get home and sleep until the next morning. Seem to be coming down with a cold, too.

wineberry - I'm 5'2" and my bike is a 51. Sorry, I don't remember my inseam off-hand.

Grog - We go to Island Biker in Kahului. I know of the shop you went to, but haven't been inside. So you rode around the backside of Lahaina? That sounds like fun and I'll have to do that one day! I haven't even been that way in a car in years! I also want to ride to Lahaina. I see lots of bikers whenever we drive out there.

Thanks to everyone else welcoming me to the forums! It's also super awesome to see how many others have/are interested in the Ruby. Now...I just need to get back to riding it again and getting some mileage.

As for the borderline-diabetes, I do take a low dose of metformin daily. I'm going in for general bloodwork and the 2 1/2hr blood test next week to check on things and follow-up with the endo. I'm hoping I'm still in the border-line range! I know that biking will help, but my diet really needs work...
