I always say, "Passing on your left," and I do sound authoritative, but it just kind of comes out that way. When passing, I always say "thank you" and sometimes add a "good morning" and smile.

An hour on the trainer. :p I suppose that's around 15 to 16 miles. Anyway, it's 113 degree heat index today and I'm not going outdoors to ride! :eek: I watched part of "The View," part of "A...
Morning everyone! :)
Me and my sweet hubby rode our bikes 45 miles today at an average pace of 16mph. We're at Kiawah Island and the scenery is beautiful, but I'm sure glad we headed out at...
I can't imagine going without my kotex shorts! :D There are shorter cycling shorts. Plus, if cycling shorts really bother you, just get cycling skorts. If you go to the products section of this...
That is so cool! I don't think I could have spoken for at least an hour and a gallon of coffee after getting up at that time! :p Ya'll all look cute (he does look tall!) and like you're having a...
That is such a sweet story, Katie! Congrats on your bike. What a sweetie he was for giving it to you. :)
I've done one MS150 -- the Breakaway to the Beach ride in South Carolina. It was tons of...
Sounds like a great plan -- I hope your recovery goes smoothly! :)
My bike is in the shop until Thursday afternoon. :(
I've used a hydration system -- not Camelbak and liked it. I added ice in it and it kept my back cooler in the high heat and humidity. I didn't notice the weight one way or the other.
I've done...
I go sans underwear as often as possible -- running shorts, gym lycra tights, biking shorts & jammies are all worn without underwear. As for cleaning the cycling shorts, I always just wash them on...
I've lifted for over 10 years. I did a bodybuilding/fitness/figure show last August and have been out of sorts ever since. :p We have since installed a home gym & it's so nice to have all the...
:D My legs are still aching! :eek: :)
I felt like I was near death today. We rode 40 miles in Ft. Jackson and it was described as a rolling hills ride. It was awful -- the hills went on forever and around mile 30 or so, I just wanted...
When I took spinning classes at the gym, several women kept getting UTIs. We all brought our own gel covers for the bike seats, so perhaps they are the culprit.
Do a google search for Irfanview -- it's free to download and great for posting photos. :) Once you have it, just resize the height to 500 pixels and the width will automatically resize. I believe...
Congratulations!! :) Great job!
That is exciting! :) I recently bought my hubby a bike for his b-day (June 12) and it is so much nicer having a regular riding partner. :cool:
That is great -- thanks for sharing your story! I an a re-newbie also and have not done a club ride. (I did ride in a MS150 and that was tons of fun!) I would really like to do a club ride and...
Thanks for your input snapdragen. I really don't know if there's any chance the bike would come off the trainer or not. It seems pretty secure.
mickchick, I've never ridden my bike or jogged...
I think Specialized makes great bikes. As for sizing, I'm 5'4.5", short torsoed, and have long monkey like arms and legs :D . My Bianchi is 51cm. I did end up having to get narrower handlebars and...
Thanks about the trainer/helmet info -- it was my first ride and I wasn't sure whether people generally wear helmets on a trainer or not. Although the floor is covered with rubber, I did feel pretty...
Thanks, spazzdog! :) I do have the Polar heartrate monitor and I was thinking I should use it on the trainer, but the thought came to me about halfway through my first ride. Next time, I'll...
Hope your head gets to feeling better! :)
I have to admit that I don't wear a helmet on my beach cruiser at Kiawah Island. I ride it on the trails and on the beach. I do, of course, always wear my helmet on my road bike except I didn't...
Thanks a lot, Melissa! :) I'll research both of those. I really appreciate the advice. I am trying to learn more about cycling and golf ( :) ). I've always been a weightlifting fanatic, so if...
Thanks! I did and they didn't have a rear wheel cyclocomputer in stock. They said they could order a Cateye. I may just end up letting them do that. I suppose I could check e-bay, but I wasn't...
