Done & done! Submitted my app for Team Group Health yesterday!

Bicyclista, the folks at the 44-mile rest stop on the Burly Girl route took a picture of me holding my pink bike over my head. I didn't see it in the pictures online. Is there somebody I can contact...

I almost forgot to post about this ride! I did the Burly Girl and it was SO MUCH FUN! I can't think the last time I had that much fun on a ride. I loved that it was all women, the flowers & pictures...

Eden! I am interested in finding out more about racing. I usually have church on Sunday mornings, but I will try to make it to one of the meet the team rides. Do you still have flexibility during the...

I will be there doing the 62-mile route. Look for helmet streamers. :)

Way to go, ladies! I'm sorry I missed it.

I have to agree. I use 'em for commuting, when I'm riding slowly by myself. But when I'm riding fast, or in a group, or both, multi-use trails aren't the place to be. They're dangerous for the...

I too did the Flying Wheels Century on Saturday. It was a good ride for me, mostly: Rode with my fast buddies and we averaged just over 20 mph the first 56 miles. The rest of the ride I slowed down a...

I did the 7 Hills of Kirkland century ride with a group of biking buddies. It was cool, mid-50s to low 60s, and overcast -- actually excellent biking weather. Averaged 17.6 mph over 100 miles with...

Afternoon of Sunday June 19th should work for me, although that *is* Father's Day...

I'd love to join -- and meet in person! -- you ladies, and the Centennial Trail sounds lovely. A Sunday afternoon mid-June would be good for me...

You won't stick out, especially in Seattle. Every group ride I do, somebody brings a bike with fenders and rack. Plus, REI's website specifically mentions how your make of bike was designed to...

Sounds to me like you just got your good weather bike and the old one can be your rain bike! Slap some fenders and buddy flaps on that puppy and you're good to go.

When you spend a lot of time with any object, it seems to take on a personality. Vehicles more so than other objects, I'm assuming because of all the quirks those many moving parts can develop that...

Nice ride report - I lucked out and got in this year, and your report makes me even more excited to do it than I was before. Excited, and somewhat intimidated! Maybe I'll see you while you're...

Feel free to copy the ribbon idea! I got the ribbon from Seattle Fabrics (http://www.seattlefabrics.com/). It cost maybe $3, and I think it was about 1 yard.

I get lots of comments on it when I'm...

The white ribbon is reflective. I wear it for four reasons:
1. To identify me to motorists. If you're a driver, all bicyclists look pretty much the same. But if you see me with my ribbons once, and...

Had an excellent vigorous ride yesterday. We rode to Snoqualmie Falls, and then on the way back got lost because of having to avoid flooded roads near Carnation.

I ended up with 73.8 miles and...

I'm going to be spending 2 nights in Eatonville this week, and I will have the opportunity to ride a bit in the late afternoons after I finish teaching. Any suggestions for routes or roads I should...

It was a gorgeous day, somewhat cool to start with but sunny with some clouds, a perfect spring day in the Northwest. I did possibly the hardest hill ride I've tried yet -- between 5900 and 6300 feet...

A little bit like Kevin Spacey, maybe?

Not exactly the world's greatest photo, but there it is. Here's a link.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear that happened! That's the scariest kind of crash. I'm glad he wasn't hurt worse, and I hope he recovers quickly.

Any of you ladies planning on going to Bike Expo this coming weekend? I'll be there at the Bicycle Alliance booth from 9 - 12 on Saturday, so come say hi if you're around! :)

I was wondering about last week's race, with the weather. Frostbite, indeed. Today as so different it's hard to believe it's only been a week.
