Riv will be open Monday. I'm trying to figure out how I can justify getting Rich at Riv to make me a new set of wheels. The Ksyriums aren't appropriate for the loaded touring I'll be doing with Cindy. The economical thing to do is just to trade wheels and chains with Thom. But, his wheels need some work too. And I love the stiffness of the Ksyriums, but I don't love how they feel in a cross wind. And his wheels, my old ones, feel mushy.

And how I can justify the Giles Berthold panniers. Yes, I have perfectly suitable panniers from the touring we did years ago... but the Giles Berthold ones are gorgeous. And they would match my handlebar bag.
