Tom,
I would have done it this year, been thinking about a bike for a long time. Now I have lost my senses and bought the thing, now all I have to do is use it. I'll see you in Ft. Worth on the 27th. I will be biking it for the weekend. I have to learn how to travel light on the bike. That means two things, 1) I have to learn to pack efficiently and 2)lose about 80 pounds without having to suffer road rash to scrape it off.
