Thanks for the good info. Just a few more ?'s though.

What's a euro bike?

Any good reviews on road pedals. Speedplay has some pedals that look pretty nice but I'm not sure they're good stuff or not, and I see a lot of guys running around with the Time systems though.

When you say I need a new helmet, you recommending a road-specific helmet? What's the difference? More aero and lighter?

I already wear the pants on the trail and I definitely wouldn't be hitting a 100 mile trip with anything short of a tight jersey.....nothin like riding into the wind all day.

Thanks again. I'll keep ya posted on what I decide.
