Hi all,

Thank you for the quick and informative feedback. I'm really pleased it's
appropriate for leisurily riders. I'll definitely be riding tomorrow
(meeting place is the Colonial Inn at the bend in NY 41A per Andrejs' web
link instructions).

Cathy, Shelley and others, I hope to see you there.

Yippee!

Sara
