I just dropped 2 grand on a new Kona road bike (with flat bar) and gear, I'm 
going out riding (new bike/gear is part of my go-light gear replacement this 
year; up to two and a half grand now on my kayak gear replacement program, 
and still don't have a lightweight kayak yet). New bike computer will tally 
the miles. Then , back this afternoon to work on my Brooks article (found 
two paddlers who spent two days with Brian Grant just before he died off 
Brooks Peninsula July 2006, so a wonderful connection/first hand account 
there, but a partial story re-writer now necessary).

Well, there's always Paddlewise Mr. Craig Loafer when you wake up again. 
Just turn on your Paddlewise pedantic pedometer to tally-up your key 
strokes, though Paddlewise seems slow these days so I take it folk's fingers 
aren't getting the usual workout. :-)
