Jane

really good coupons, too, for some on-line stores we all like to frequent :cool:

Thanks Zen, I just signed up..

Thanks, Zen. My SO sometimes sends me links, but I'm glad to have my own subscription now.

Great link! Reading the current issue, and this one had me chortling loudly:

(how not to get dropped on group rides)

"For starters, never take a pull. Pulls are for 23-year-old "college students" who ride 450 miles a week. They need the extra work to get ready for that upcoming stage race. Middle-aged working stiffs don't. We pull, we die."

hee-hee-hee...:D and:

"Finally, hills. Before the road tilts up, scope out some strong, beefy riders who are good bike handlers. They tend to be steady if unspectacular climbers. More important, they descend like an anvil off a cliff. Hang on, limpet-like, while they tow you back to the 97-pound mountain goats off the front."
