Part of the reason I was so busy was that I have been working on procuring my next bike. The Marin has served me well, but I have 10,000 miles on it, and I wanted to try something new (I do that sometimes).
My new Bike is a Surly Long Haul Trucker. It's a full on touring bike and the most comfortable bike I've ever ridden.
So here are a few pictures of my new ride (Mack... Think Mack from the movie Cars), and it's maiden voyage of 101 miles this morning (I started at 5:30 am).

I'm glad through the different bikes you tried and discussed at the shop, you worked out the requirements and found a comfortable, fun, and multipurpose bike.
Hope this is the start of a long and satisfying relationship btw you two!
Congrats!
Nice!! If the weight and the possibility of the frame being not-so-stiff didn't scare me away, I would gladly had ponied up for a LHT or CrossCheck. They are solid, innovative frames that will probably last a lifetime. Maybe 2.
Have many fun rides on that beaut!
hey, I know those guys.
