If I wasn't so darned attached to cycling and my bike, my decision sure would be easier - nah, I'm not addicted!!!

A folding bike is actually a wonderful option for future traveling. Or, I even considered (at some point in time), purchasing perhaps a Trek 1000 to keep at my parents so I won't have to make such decisions!!!

Thank you for the folding bike idea ladies.

Oh, and the Adirondacks, I adore the Adirondacks. My Aunt & Uncle own a two-story beautiful log home right on one of the lakes and have access to great hiking trails so I will certainly get in a hike. They have tons of deer that roam their property and even chipmunks that we hand feed - they're the cutest little buggers.

Anyway, I'm still undecided . . . my Mom said to me today, "now when do you think you'll have time to ride?" As it is, my b-day is the 8th and we're having a big barbecue, and, I'm surprising my two nieces, so my Mom figures they'll be attached at the hip the whole time I'm there!!! She does make a point, but somehow, I always find the time. Decisions, decisions!!!

Again, many thanks for your responses
