    Thanks Sadiekate! He is an awsome friend! And we do support him as much as we can. He was an eye surgeon and had to quite after just 8 years in the field. He now has a hotel in Crested Bute. It was a smart move on he's part. He's kids have a harder time with the MS more the he does. He's boys were 9, 11 and 13 when he found out. A bummer for sure sence jim was only 43 when he found out he had it. But he didn't let it stop him moving forward. He doesn't really have flare ups like some. He is just slowly lossing control of he's legs. But he swears cycling keeps him strong and may be the reason he can still walk. If i may ask? What is yours like? I went as far as to read a story about a guy who has MS and it really helped me understand it for him.
    Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

    When's the deadline? I've got medical bills that I haven't got refunded yet, but if I get a good settlement offer tomorrow from the car accident, then a jersey, vest and armwarmers are on my list. Especialleeeee if I get that candy red Trek 7.6 Already have the helmet to match. Hmmm... Would all that matching red be over-the-top for a Fredwina Athena like m'self? Don't wanna tip over into that overdressed category (forget what it's called, not wannabe but same meaning).
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Yep, that's the one. Would red bike, jersey, vest, arm warmers, and helmet (but NOT bike shorts!) put me into that scorned category -- especially when I'm only doing 10mph?

    Because I'll feel guilty. I must have been a Catholic in a previous life.

    Size quandry

    I am between a med and a small. Hmm. I have med Pearl Izumi jerseys and others in small. I guess I should get the medium. I am 5'2" 116 lbs and about a 34C. Does a medium sound right for the sleveless women's racing jersey?

    Hmmm. I'll have to sit down and have a heart to heart with my credit card. Very much doubt I can afford a jersey, but I may be able to spring for some armwarmers... Socks I could definitely afford. Not buying a dozen pairs though.

    We IRISH CATHOLICS have our own version of guilt that puts the rest of ya to shame. Plus we have the worst luck of anyone. So there.

    We'll, we've been at it longer but forget where I read "Jews invented guilt, Catholics perfected it"

    There, everyone happy?
