Still around

I know it's been way too long since my last post, just got my computer back & am looking foward to doing some more updates. The Ergon grips are working great. I added a trunk rack for the bike & that has really helped. I was riding to work one day a few weeks ago & ran over something and blew the rear tube. I caught a ride to work with a friend and during my work break found out that not only did I blow the tube, I ran over a good sized piece of metal that put a hole in the sidewall of the tire. I replaced both tire and tube and rode as much as I could when the weather permitted. Last week I found out that I have to purchase a new battery for my lighting system. I've had the system for quite a few years, so this wasn't a total surprise for me. Until I get the new batter, Charles is letting me borrow his Sigma Sport lighting system. I'm hoping the weather co-operates Tuesday morning to give it a shot. If I like this system, I just might purchase a new system instead of just a new batter. Thanks to everyone who reads this.
