I wish there was a Photoshop or GIMP plugin that could make my digitals look like film shots. Maybe add 30 years of fading to match those old Instamatic prints in that shoebox in the back closet.

Makes me feel better at the end of the day if I've only ridden 20 miles or so. I can tell people it was like riding 140 miles!

Congrats, again. It looks like it was a beautiful ceremony. If you ever get in a situation with a stuck chain, similar to Jason's, cut the chain (you do carry a chain tool, right?) and see if you can get more leverage to work it out. If not, cut it again, as close to the cassette as possible, so you can push the uphills and coast the downs. (I hate walking with a bike!) First off, I just saw your wedding post. Congrats, again.
