Rob, great links, thanks! I think I'll try these myself! Joe, good to see you here! (First thought when I saw your reply: "Hey Joe, where you goin' with that 'beam in your hand?" I have no idea why.)
I'm planning on doing the annual Perimeter ride on Saturday, quite possibly on my Quickbeam (http://www.thechainlink.org/events/perimeter- ride) Take care, everyone.
