Cecil, no way, long time no chat! Am I "totally nerding out"? ;) I still check out http://me.cecil.com from time to time. Rocky Mtn Element is a pretty nice bike! Well suited to North Shore type stuff. I'm sure I don't need to tell you that there's nothing quite like the North Shore here, we are definitely stuck in cross-country world. But we are planning to ride at Whistler (bikes on the ski lift) when we come back in the summer, should be awesome!
Hi Core, yeah the shuttle thing is definitely a sad tragedy. We didn't see any debris. I did see some firemen standing out in a field across from my house, so maybe...? We are a bit far west though. Our friends EP and Wayne (they've commented here a few times) are from farther east and sent pictures of shuttle debris found in their hometown.
My wrist is better. However, not 100% surprisingly - I still can't rest my weight on it (like getting out of bed) or it hurts and kind of collapses. If it keeps on much longer I may have to get it looked at.
emd, too much sun on the computer screen is a good problem to have, especially in Vancouver! The good weather is all over here now, it is cold and rainy the last 1.5 days. :(
Nice to hear the weather is treating you right. Up here, I can barely see my screen as the sun is streaming in the window! Ya for nice weather!!
