The last two times I brought out the bike, it POURED - the sort of tropical downpour that causes flash floods.

It means lots of gear and learning so also you need to buy books, unfurtunately that means MONEY... grrrrr<BR/><BR/>Don't worry too much about the dentist while training I was worried too but there is no difference or inconvenients I wish it is the same for you.<BR/>I had a root canal last week and it is fine... but it cost 500!!
