Thanks! All good stuff.
For equipment I think I am all set.
I bought cycling shoes when I built the bikes a couple years ago but only wear them when out on my own. Last year I caved and bought a decent couple of cycling jerseys (one for each day) after I got a wicked sunburn between my T shirt and shorts on a 2 hour ride by myself.
I also bought a bib that I only wear if I am doing more than an hour ( I have to sneak out of the house with because if my wife saw me wearing that I' never get any action)
