Glad to hear things went well with your surgery and I imaging you'll be riding that New AT very soon. You've got the right mind set, hospitals visits can save you hospital stays will kill you. You're posts are always kind and helpful, You posted your bio awhile back and your accomplishments and humility are amazing. If I'm ever given the chance I would gladly buy you a beer
Anyone got a link?
After a miserable, wet and cold October I spent a bundle on heated grips. Ever since they were fitted the weather has been balmy. I did 90km around the lake of Zurich today and never once needed them. Still, if that means I can comfortably keep riding I guess I'm ok with that. It won't be long before the grips are needed.
I got schooled by Avon. Their Trailriders do so well on dry or wet pavement and I'm slinging the bike around effortlessly, it's just so sportin' that it's hard to believe how well they also did on chipcoat, gravel, wet dirt roads heading toward mud, and rocky hard-pack. Good feedback and without a harsh ride on bumps and uneven pavement, dealing well with tar snakes... If they last pretty long too I'm gonna be in heaven on these forever! Also want to mention that the cheap little clip-on above my Ermax +15 touring screen makes all the difference for a tall-torsoed 5'11" -- though I'll probably get the Ermax clip-on soon as it's wider and probably better yet and can be had in a tint. Today I was riding in 40F and a lot of wind, and even at 70-75 had my face-shield up much of the time which I prefer usually. Awesome!
Oh yeah, tiny grade schools like this one turn my crank, way out in the boonies and all! Not everything has changed.

Lookin' for the ladies since you can't ride?
