You say this like it's a bad thing?

Knotted wrote often about bikes, biking, equipment, clothing, and yes, even PT issues. She was a very knowledgeable, active, and enjoyable member of our little community. For some reason she has chosen not to participate any more, and for that TE is (to me anyway) a less interesting place.

Don't get me wrong, there is a ton of good information here, and clearly many friendships have formed, bonds been forged among the forum participants.

However during these boring and dreary winter months we have spawned a lot of "noise" which has detracted from the original focus of the group. I confess that I have put many threads on "ignore." We don't seem to generate nearly so many negative vibrations when we keep the discussions to biking or some aspect thereof.

I hope that as the winter weather dissipates and we pick up our neglected bikes again that we will see a pendulum swing in the content of our posts.

OMG, you make it sound like an obit :p "she enjoyed chocolate and gluten free beer" ;)

She's fine gals, we're fine .... tailwinds and chocolate.

There is definitely a seasonal aspect to it all. This has been my third winter on TE, and it seems there is always less biking posting and more personal issues/introspective posting during the winter. See how few Daily Ride reports there are these days. Everyone gets more upbeat in the Spring and we all spend more time on our bikes and less time pondering the meaning of life. ;)

That looks like an ad for hi-viz! After I stop this horrible half marathon training I plan to ride my bike. One month to go!

That's good to hear. I started to think you had her chained up somewhere or something.:p Hugs to both of you.

That was funny.

I think we all miss Knott.

Of course I miss Knot, I could pm her anything and she'd find out! Anyway, there are others I miss too. Sandra is only here once in awhile, remember how she didn't know what a mixte was, and within a month she had THREE! (and loved them). Nancy has been gone a long time, but I certainly enjoyed her posts, and I always wondered what happened to Melissam who lived in Utah and got her bike to get healthier and lose weight...and Lise, with the Dachsund avatar.

I think with a lot of them, they quit riding so lose interest. Hopefully Knot is still riding.

And Caligirl - wonder what ever happened to her. She used to do crazy miles....

Here's hoping they're all still riding, and that their lives are just too full of happy things for them to spend time here:)

I miss them too. Maybe for them life "happened". Some of us have some pretty significant things happening in our families and in our lives that cause us to put cycling on the back burner for now.

Not her, just her bike.

Aw, what a sweet picture! :)

I thought my ears were burning! Me and my addiction to mixtes. Man, I love them. Blossom is as gorgeous as ever!

I've been such a slacker. Life got in the way for a while (my hubby has has all sorts of unfortunate health problems) but I'm ready for spring and ready to ROLL!!!

I checked this thread out to see what the scoop was on Knot and I find this. I'm fine and riding lots to get ready for the Death Ride! :) But, uh, I think you have a different melissam in mind. I don't think I've ever had the pleasure of setting foot in Utah, and I'm fortunate in that weight loss isn't one of my motivations for cycling.

(Oh great, I can just hear Jobob now: "skinny little brat.")

Anyway, I'm glad to see that Sandra's come out of the woodwork and that Knot & Trek are enjoying tailwinds and chocolate.
