These are the brakes I had put on. You might find them a bit cheaper online somewhere, but I just rolled them into my pre-season overhaul and emptied my wallet on the counter. *sigh*

zoom, i felt the same way about my canti brakes! i had hoped to use my cx bike as more of a winter bike after cx season, but never felt like i could stop on wet roads well enough to feel safe. but i...

You can definitely do a steel frame with a carbon fork! That's what I have on my cross bike. :)

My steel bikes are certainly not light as compared to my friends' carbon race bikes, but are crazy comfortable and I can keep up just fine on long rides with them. When you say you want to increase...

I do want a kimchi quesadilla now though. The first time I heard of them, I thought, ew. Then I tried one. And ZOMG AMAZING! Hmmm, rethinking the dinner plans and looking to see where the Koi Fusion...

Woot! Awesome work! What a great feeling that is! (I've only ever had it happen once, and I had to go all the way to Kansas City for it as the fields are just too huge here in Portland)

Some funny (and true) stuff in here!

cross cough is the worst. i'm (sort of) hoping for some rain here soon to cut down on the dust at the races! (but not really because omg it is GORGEOUS out these days!)

and yes, cross is...

you look awesome and you ROCK that short haircut!

well done!

According to the cue sheet it was 69.01 miles. I didn't restart my computer when we got to the start, and I know we biked almost exactly 5 miles to get there. My computer showed just shy of 80 by...

The only ones I've ever taken pictures of were from a slow speed tandem crash on railroad tracks, coming up on 13 years ago this August. I don't remember a thing about it, had a pretty nasty...

That hill kills me on the best of days. But especially with a belly full of salami and 60 miles in my legs already. *sigh* I managed to keep going though, I focused on my freshly painted nails and...

onion rings sound amazing right now.

someday i really want to go to the san juan islands. i'm jealous of you!

it sure does.

A new record for me - I did 80 miles on my own bike (not the tandem) yesterday! The most I'd done before that in one go was around 65 miles. The Chris King Gourmet (metric+) Century accounted for 70...

Glad I actually did spot you on the road, I'm only sad it was on the Old Germantown climb so I didn't get to chat. I couldn't stop or I would've never ever gotten going again. And then once we were...

I'm doing one tomorrow that's right about 70 miles, but I imagine that's just how the route worked out. I'm know I can do 60ish, I'm hoping I can do those extra 10 miles :)

Will do! And yes, the gourmet food all along the way will get us through! Now getting home *after* the dinner will be a feat - we're biking to the start/finish so I can leave the car for the...

When we did it two years ago, we met a ton of awesome people - everyone was super friendly, so I imagine you'll have no problem finding riding buddies! I'll either have my Ladies Auxiliary kit on...

That's a good question actually. The first time we did it, I found out about it from a friend, and now I think we're on their mailing list. And the same friend is super in-the-loop and reminded me...

Is anyone else doing this ride in Portland next weekend? We did it two years ago, but had to take last year off due to my husband's broken knee. Chefs from some of my favorite local restaurants are...

I just got the same wheels and hubs in May as an anniversary gift, handbuilt by Jude at Sugar Wheel Works and I love love love them. I was skeptical that new wheels would make a noticeable...

They did it! Woohoo! What an awesome feeling that must be, riding into Paris and seeing the Eiffel Tour looming in the distance.

Oh Mimi, I am so incredibly sorry, but am relieved he's no longer suffering, and that he left this world surrounded by those who loved him. Take good care of yourself in these coming...
