PSW and I own mountain bikes (I have a Trek, she has a Gary Fischer), although we're looking at getting road bikes. Does anyone have any recommendations??Let's go ride bikes!

I have Trek 5200, and would highly recommend it. If you can wait until April when the new models tend to come out there are great deals to be had. They can be had in double or triple with Shimano or Campy.
Me and my friends would get bikes like that and ride them down hills and into tress until they would no longer roll down hills at all. Oh, memories...It's roughly the size of a tricycle under me and the brakes squeal like a baby in a microwave.
You can appeal the punishment to the next higher command, but you cannot appeal the NJP itself.
Having said that, the commander of the Marine can remove it if he wants to. I've only seen this once.
Generally speaking you plead guilty at NJP, so even if you could appeal it, you'd look pretty stupid doing it after pleading guilty.
A sailor can appeal NJP to the General Court-Martial Convening Authority in their chain of command. Generally, this is the Region Commander unless another flag in the chain of command (like the strike group commander) directs that it be sent to them. I'm not sure how the Admirals and JAGs figure that choice out. There are only two valid grounds for appeal. Either the punishment was unjust (didn't fit the deed) or was disproportionate (didn't fit what others got). The appeal has to be in writing, with CO's written endorsement. The rule of thumb is that appeals must be filed within 5 working days, or else the GCMCA is within their rights to reject it as not timely. If the 5 days cannot be met, the accused has to make a written request for an extension with their CO.Since I don't see a topic else where I have a question for any legal officers. Have you ever heard of a sailor "appealing" have a mast on thier record? Seems farfetched, but I don't want to give a fast no without asking around.

As usual, I'm the guy that can point out there's an exception to every rule. On my last deployment on Active Duty, I was the only pilot in the battalion that DIDN'T get NJP'd. One guy got a NPLOC, the other guy got a Punitive Letter of Reprimand. Both of them were Captains, and they've both been promoted to Major.If you go to NJP as as officer, you are DONE. Expect a BOI, and even if you are retained (unlikely), you'll never be promoted, much less selected for anything cool ever again.
