A wise choice Beta! And to say I'm impressed by the distance you rode in this weather is an understatement!

I, meanwhile, have staid indoors writing, trying to catch up on work to where I can spend some time out riding once the rain stops. It's not forecast to stop anytime soon yet, not as far as the long term forecast in the paper is showing, which is up to and including Thursday! Meanwhile, I haven't even seen a break in the weather big enough to walk my bike over to the LBS for a tuneup and once over after reassembly from its California trip. I may cave in and drive it over there in the car tomorrow.
