Seems to me that Nanci recently wrote about riding in Florida? If so, she's got an "eternal summer" advantage over some of us (unless she traveled there to do that ride!) Not saying that 5000 miles is easy to find time for, but it's probably easier to log that many miles if you can ride year round!

Hey Karen, I too switched from CRoss to Roadbike and it is one HECK of an adjustment. The gears are different on the two bikes so i had to re-learn where they were (still learning) the posture is different. I am being fitted by a local shop; i've been there twice and need to go back again!
It's fun to ride a really fast light bike though.
