Bill, great album from your 1000 mile tour. I love the distinctive look of

If you're looking for a test area that will help you know if this nutty
idea works for you or not, I'd suggest sleeping on the floor (if that can

Another great photo set. Something tells me this isn't the last of your

The bikes on Mackinac Island are transportation bikes. CF bikes would be
kinda useless since they are made for racing. The five mile loop might be
a good place for a race but I haven't heard of one.

This was on my facebook page. I think Grant finally got the helmet he would
like. I like the looks, and the low profile, but not the price...To me, it
might be the perfect helmet? I just wish it was cheaper. I only found it
for sale at one site, for $175.00.
I was into all black tires from 2009-2012. That's all I ever used on road
bikes.
But a season on my tan-wall Rumpkins and Swiftys, and now I like the
tan-wall looks just as much.
My new Sam has black Marathons on it now.
I am too chicken to try commuting on my Hetres yet.
Lotsa trashy,
I have a very nice uvex helmet, which at $85 was one of the cheapest
helmets in the store. The kicker is it was also one of the only helmets not
made in China.

I'm using the Conti Speed tires that Rivendell sells. Its hard to beat the
