Kind of late, but if you're still looking for a Xen. http://www.jensonusa.com/store/product/HE290A07-Giro+Xen+Helmet+09.aspx
No problem on you taking off. i had to cut some of the track out. i was to burned out and didnt sleep alot the night before, so i didnt have the energy.
No worries. I did the full ride and only fell 3 times. It went a lot faster than last week. The group was small and didn't sit so long at the regroups. I still walked the big hills. I'm addicted and will be there Sunday trying a different bike. Hopefully buying one soon....
Sorry I had to bounce out yesterday. Let me know when you're doing the Loop again and I'll be sure to make it. Showed the wife the pics you posted - thanks for that!
