Apologies to all. I got halfway through blogging the Great West Coast Trip and then I stopped cold. I know you're all on the edge of your seats waiting for the big finish, and I promise I'll get it to you. The last couple of weeks have been some of the more stressful / eventful of my life, and I just haven't been able to sit down and hash these last triplogs out.

But I will.

Starting to give some serious thought to the next bike, as well. Look for more ill-considered ranting on that subject soon.
