Hi Sue. Great to hear about riding every day. It's what I do, too, but I'm retired so it's something that is practical to do. Yeah, I've worn down...

I've ridden every day this month :) Yesterday I even got my Xtracycle out and successfully diagnosed why it was dragggggging... I thought it...

Well, sandy, rutted trails are not a place for road bikes, even with 25 cm tires. I was just happy I didn't crash! I can ride this kind of stuff on a...

Rebecca! I am thrilled for you guys.

I totally get it about changing bikes. With me and all my bikes, even though they are all flat bar bikes, it takes me awhile to settle in on my bike...

Wow, it's warmer where you are, although it's about 86 here. Thankfully, today is overcast, with a breeze, and no pollen flying into my lungs! We...

Wow, oh, wow! And welcome to the forum. Nice to have you with us. Should be a lot of fun comparing notes. Record hot for us. If the forecast...

Hello friends, I stumbled across this board while searching for information about the log lady. I must say, it took a good bit of work to find my...

Sorry about the pollen, Crankin. We dealt with that here back in March -- or was it February!? It's truly summer here now, and with a tropical...

Ha, I've only ridden a beach cruiser once, on Hilton Head Island. After 3 days of that, my knee was killing me, and I don't have knee problems! I...

Thanks, Emily. This crazy weather pattern this year makes it so hard to predict anything down the road. As for the heat, it really doesn't bother me,...

Interesting, nwg -- we've definitely been warm in Florida, but not excessively by Florida standards. Mid-80s is the highest so far, and will...

One more thing. Our weather has been almost dangerously hot for so early in the summer. We've been having July kind of heat - July is our hottest...

I missed it too. :) You bought the Log Lady? :D I'd like an inexpensive around town bike that I'm not afraid to lose if stolen.

Thank heavens the forum is back. I know we're a small group as forums go, but I really, really missed not being able to chat with everyone. I missed...

Thanks for letting us know, Sheila. Planning a 40-ish mile ride tomorrow. DH took the day off and I am back to my 3 day a week schedule. It is going...

Forum is up! (Obviously). :)

Good heaven's Crankin! That is what I call a really lousy day. Unbelievable. Glad he's on the mend. Getting a few showers, this evening, but we...

It's good to acknowledge the sadness, Emily. You are right, you are lucky to still have your mom. My mom died way too young, in a family where...

Emily, no it was noting to do with a bike accident! First, he's been getting PT for a back issue that is getting better. Then, he was not paying...

Speaking of tropical weather, Emily, read that the NWS is predicting another bad hurricane season, this year, at least on a par with last year. Hope...

That's wonderful, rebecca -- you are indeed blessed! I always get a little sad around M's Day, as we tried for years to have a child but were...

Crankin, I hope your DH will be okay. Sorry to hear that he is down for awhile! A bike accident? We had four good rides last week (Mon, Tues,...

I'd seriously consider something like a mid-fat ECR. A lot better for bikepacking than the troll or pugsley. Easy handling but stable. Made for...

Couldn't agree, more. Now that we're so far from all the kids and retired, have to say, there are times when I miss having little ones around, almost...

Our leaders' party was fun and DH and I are going to lead 1/3 new type of rides to lure AMC members who have not ridden with the bike committee, i.e....

The stacks I saw all read something like 556 for every model. Not sure where I was looking. That is good to hear. May get a custom frameset one day....

Congrats! There's never a dull moment when you are a parent...

Thinking I want to post this on a site that I’ve enjoyed sharing these kinds of feelings on…so I waited until today, mother’s day, to do it………..I’m...
