Thanks William.  Well, I cannot take all the credit for this, as Cycling 
Today Magazine was featuring it.  It is a really good magazine, and it covers 
mountain bikes, and touring bikes, plus, it has alot of tour routes and MTB 
trail areas and they rate them as well.  You might take a look at it one day 
if you have'nt already.  Anyways, take care!!!!
