Hi CorsairMac! Yep, I am Burque born and raised--DH too! I haven't ridden on the diversion channel in some years--like I said in my post, I have been out of riding for a while and am just now trying to get back into it after having a baby (who is almost 2 now!) and getting flabby. My plan at this point is to start riding in to work--that way I'm not really taking time away from my family, KWIM? I'm glad I found these forums--seems like a nice supportive bunch of women here
