Mel,

Yeah, I hear you on the one pieces...I have a pair of bib cycle shorts and pretty much want use them to tie and gag the person who told me they were "so great" every time I have to strip down to go to the loo. Thanks for the word of caution. Experience is the best teacher, eh?

So you are in Canada--wouldn't that make the water COLDER than in Oregon? BrRrRr...
