Yes. It is delightful to receive bottles and bits and get a handwritten note from the proprietor. My kids are good with the Twizzlers too.

Happy to hear you are recovering. (I find myself daydreaming about having one of your bikes)

I was on a Trek Stache at Ray's MTB before Thanksgiving. It actually ripped around the park pretty well. it even did ok on the jump lines.
