Hey John - I'm clipped and ready to ride! Thanks! Took the 10 mile
run today to work (1/2 of my planned commute) and even though it was
a workout (and raining in the early am - drat!) it's all good.

I could use ideas for signals, mirrors, panniers, bike computers,
etc. I found my old Sigma computer from years ago...gotta get new
batteries & see if it powers up.

I'm basically jury rigging anything I can make work. I used a
regular upwrong tail bike rack which just didn't want to stay in
place very well on the tike while holding my pack on the way in....
Anybody use hydration packs while they ride?

Tomorrow is supposed to get to 90 & I've got 20-40 rural to urban
miles to get in (practice, practice, practice...).
