One more thing that I must mention with regards to my previous post: I sincerely doubt that I would have continued riding this long had it not been for the support of my lovely wife. Jenn has not only given me loads of encouragement, she has wholeheartedly taken up the sport herself. Jenn doesn't have the testosterone-laced competitve drive that I have, or she would undoubtedly ride circles around everybody on the road. As it is, she is a very powerful rider that doesn't quit until she's conquered whatever [dementor] hill happens to be in front of her. Oh, and she looks way better in spandex than I do.
