Woo hoo! My 1,000th post!

[slinkedog]

Which means that I really must ask, "What the hell am I doing with my life?"

;)

[SadieKate]

Thanks, what does that say about me? ;)

[Adventure Girl]

And still no avatar!:p

[slinkedog]

I cannot get the *&$(#@ avatar thing to work. It always tells me my file it too big. I give up.

[slinkedog]

Thanks, what does that say about me? ;)

[Brandi]

[slinkedog]

:p Ha-ha. You're both very funny!!

[SadieKate]

Thank you. We think we are too.

[Brandi]

[SadieKate]

Slinke lives and dies by the chevrons on her Krebs maps.

Congrats on your milestone post Slinke! isn't there a martini or something that goes with a milestone like this??

[slinkedog]

I'd take a margarita, for sure! :) But a martini would work, too.

Oy, that Krebs map link opened up right on Tunitas Creek Road, my bête noire circa Labor Day Weekend 2005, where V. had to come back and rescue me... oh the shame ... :o

Took me freakin' forever too. You MUST do "save for the web" in photoshop or there is a ton of meta-data BS that gets imbedded into the file making it too big.

[slinkedog]

Hey Brandi... did you get my email with the photo for the avatar? Looking forward to having one so SOME PEOPLE will stop hounding me about it. :D

Yeah, call me uncivilized, but I do not have photoshop. My sister does. Maybe that's the answer for me. :o

[pkq]

Congrats slinkedog! You girls are too funny.

My sister is a retired EE turned software engineer who won't go near a computer now. :D

[bikerz]

Hey Slinke - Nice Avatar! :D

[slinkedog]

It told me the file didn't upload so I didn't think it worked! Thanks to Adventure Girl for formatting it for me! That's me and my littlest one, Mallory!

[cindysue]

That's me and my littlest one, Mallory!

very sweet!

I had to look up Krebs, (while I was waiting for Running Mommy to cross the finish line at 3AM) and found Krebs Cycle, which is actually a catchy name for the map dealies. But I recognized the term "Krebs cycle" but couldn't place it, or where I would have learned it. Biology, physiology, somewhere. So anyway, after I heard the news that DENISE AMOS IS AN IRONMAN I went back to bed, and of course couldn't go to sleep, and the words "Krebs cycle" kept floating around in my brain and I couldn't get rid of that thought...Weird, huh?

It's surely because Krebs maps are incredibly useful and helpful items.... if they make them for your area or an area you'll be riding, that is. They let me know what I can't do. It's a good thing, trust me. *Preparing for the blasting from SK and AG and everyone else!! :)*

Krebs cycle is from microbiology. It has to do with how the cells generate energy. I'm sure someone else could explain it better. Every time I see "Krebs", I think "mitochondria".

[slinkedog]

That's so funny! My daughter is taking biology right now and she was talking about the Krebs cycle the other day. Totally escaped me until right now!! :) But I'm not queen of microbiology, lest anyone wonder. It's the maps that I'm mad for. :)

[jobob]

Gee slinke, she looks awfully young to be studying microbiology ...

:D

[tprevost]

Hey, Congrats on your milestone Slinkedog! I'm tryin' to catch up ;)

Har, har! :p Not THAT one!

From Taber's Medical Dictionary:
Kreb's cycle: A complicated series of reactions in the body involving the oxidative metabolism of pryuvic acid and the liberation of energy. It is the main pathway of terminal oxidation in the process of which not only carbohydrates but proteins and fats are utilized.

At some point in nursing school, I think we had to memorize every step in the "complicated series of reactions". It was just as quickly erased from memory! :rolleyes: It all relates to biking, though. Our tiny little mitochondria in the cells take our Kashi Heart to Heart cereal with walnuts and almonds, strawberries and soy milk (in my case), and turn it into power on our new Bianchi Veloche bikes (again, in my case), to ride! Ride! Ride! :D All via the Kreb's cycle.

Now I get to learn about the maps. Are they for trail riding? :confused:

Here's the link to Krebs Cycling Products, makers of the Krebs Maps, which slinke swears by (literally and figuratively, I'll bet ...)

http://www.krebscycleproducts.com/

They make road maps and mountain bike trail maps. They're really great maps for cycling.

"Krebs Cycle Products produces detailed and concise bicycling guide maps covering much of Northern California. Our maps are originals, made just for cycling. They are carefully drawn to exacting detail and printed in beautiful colors. The extensive information on traffic, hills, bicycle trails, suggested routes, services and points of interest is not found in any other map or book."

But, unfortunately for the rest of the country, the maps cover only Northern CA.

Wow. That sounds incredible. Too bad it's only for N. CA. Thanks for the explanation! L.
