Thanks for your post-- it was very sweet and thoughtful

I got XT's, picked up a tandem last night too.

No good with out pics!!!!

Yet to shag a whale, but who knows....

Genius is rarely appreciated, Currently reading Voltaire....

Less air in the front tire worked very well-- especially riding over boulders! Fun! Thanks for the idea!

Really enjoyed riding with you. Honest! It was a good first experience riding with someone besides Luke. Definitely a learning experience. Going to let some air out of my front tire. Good advice. Thanks! Hope you had fun and it wasn't too frustrating or terrible for you. Riding with an asthmatic takes infinite patience. Luke would definitely like to ride with you again, and Marshall Canyon would be a good place for that. The 2 of us would really like to ride "your" Sycamore Canyon with you, if you can tolerate riding with me again

Funny, I thought he wore blue....

Dry on parts, I'm looking for a UST wheel set.

Thanks for the response on Strawberry!
