I live in Boston now and love riding here. I miss the long climbs, but wouldn't give up the roots and rocks of NE. My road bike gathers dust, my mt biked is ridden year round. I have a blue Avant with Yakima racks stop by and say hi next time you see me at the Fells, Blue Hills, or Vietnam(Hopkinton).

Fells, Milford (aka 'nam), and Foxboro rule.
I miss living in the Boston area for the technical riding (probably 10 GOOD riding areas within an hour or so). Even the easier stuff (Dover Woods, Blue Hills, Gloucester) were great to ride.
I now suffer in NJ.

to the winshield. You may have to bend the brackets to get the fit and play with pushing the center out as much as possible and pulling the sides back. Mine sits with a fair amount of force on the winshield.

This is a Yakima rack, though. And I didn't set it up to touch the windshield. Its on the paint. No marks though, cause I keep it waxed up.<ul><li><a href="http://home.mgfairfax.rr.com/jpinkert/carpics.htm">Pics of rack with fairing fit correctly</a></li></ul>

1) Depends on where you are. Try climbing Mt. Tam. outside San Francisco. Long, grueling, slow climb (although not technical). In fact, a fast climb is usually less grueling for me. The wind tends to cool you a lot more when you're moving quickly.
2) There's plenty of technical riding anywhere you go. I've found it in GA, VA, CO, CA, WA, CT, NH, VT and AK. Its always the hills that kill me. And the biggest, longest ones are out west.

You should be able to add a slight curve to the fairing itself using the actual mounting adjustment. Adjust the two corners tward the rear of the car so that the corners of the fairing touch the windshield. Mine fits perfect.
