Question - How much climb is there in a typical ride for you?

Answer: I used to think I would Never be able to ride Mt Diablo with ya'll when I read the elevation gains/precent grades you climb until I realized:

Every day just on my commute I climb approx 550' which works out to about 2750' a week. When I take a lunch ride I can add anywhere from 150 to another 300 feet per day on to that. On weekend rides I can add another 500-1500 depending on where I ride that day. But for every climb I get in this town there's a descent!! Oh Yeah!!!

Questions: Who uses 650 tires and why???

My first thought: where's his helmet???!!

I must be either old or just too happy with my DH! :D

...OK, back to the topic at hand.

Someone else should answer Veronica's as she has a good idea about my stats. I'd say for my standard ride around these parts I get between 2300 and 2500 for the 20 mile option and 3000-3500 for the 30-40 mile option.

Next Question: Do you wear standard, plain ol' socks or snazzy stylish socks? If the latter, what is your favorite pair?

Question: Do you wear standard, plain ol' socks or snazzy stylish socks? If the latter, what is your favorite pair?

A: Snazzy socks. Favorites are Chili pepper socks. Hah! Betcha thought I'd say my "Impeach Bush" socks.

Ok, going to post the question again since I think it was never answered.
Q: What's the "oddest" thing in your under the seat bag or oddest thing you've ever carried there?

ok, just read breaking news about evacuation in Birmingham England. sounds like that was precautionary though. Back to saying my t&p are with our Brits. I hope you and yours and all are ok.

I know it's been answered a dozen times, but I love this question so I'm going to answer it too :p I love snazzy socks! I have only 3 outfits and 3 socks...my favorites are the bad kitty socks that are pink with a mean kitty and cross bones. So cute! But I have little blue cloud socks to go with my blue stuff and also pink ones that say "sexy" in red. I'm always on the lookout for more socks because they are the expensive accessory.

.

A: A Home Depot gift card. I bought it for a friend for her birthday and then realized I had not a clue where I was going to carry it that would stay dry (as in my jersey pockets were sweat soaked!)

Q: Where is the oddest place you've ever taken or ridden your bike ie: grocery store?

Answer - no place. Me and my bike are not odd or out of place; the non-bikers are the ones who are odd. :rolleyes:

Next question - what was your last dream or nightmare about biking?

I'm too short to ride a bike with 700c wheels and have proper standover and a short enough top tube without a severe toe overlap, which I think is dangerous.

Question: Does your average speed matter to you?

I have OCD when it comes to my speed. So I'd have to say yes :) Probably because I ride with men a lot and am going to start racing, I'm constantly gauging how well I'm doing and if I get faster.

As for the dream I can't remember the last time I dreamed about being on my bike, so I'll leave that one to someone else :)

New Question: What's your favorite pre-big ride food?

Currently, two raspberry toaster strudels, and a glass of Adwalla Mango Tango mixed with cran/raspberry juice.

For the dream - I have daydreams about our upcoming trips. I have wishful thinkings - if I had been going slower, would Thom have followed my line and not crashed?

My Question - Did you ride today? If so, describe your ride. Be descriptive (sorry 5th grade teacher emerging.) :) If not, explain why.

No. I rode yesterday with DH. Today I went to kickboxing. It's my strength training and, besides, I was sure that DH would not want to ride tonight after having been stung in the lip by a wasp and missing the whole day from work, crashed out on antihistamines. However, as I finished my class, he phoned and said he was going for a road ride. *sigh*

What's your favourite smell when you're riding?

ANSWER: Strawberry fields! Second place goes to fresh cut grass... Special mention for salty water, but I never really get to smell it when I'm on the bike...

Someone who likes to sing Broadway show tunes with me! Or old Baptist hymns.

P.S. Favorite smell - wild roses in bloom!

Most. Usually a friendly "Howdy" or "Morning!" if I'm creeping up & don't want to scare them, or a loud "ON YOUR LEFT/RIGHT" if I'm going fast, and a "THANKS!" on my way by.

Question: Do you prefer helmets with Visors or without?
