Congrats, Red, and Happy Birthday. It was a good weekend for those, apparently ;)

Ah - didn't realize that was THE event. I also have to qualify to race at MTB Nationals. And yes, the rules are a challenge to get through, I agree! It is nice that they are close to home this year,...

Becky - as a Cat 3, you should be able to purchase a 1 day license onsite for $10.

Crankin - coming into Concord Center on rte 62 where it backs up by the cemetery. We barely had enough room on the right, and this doofus was going into the oncoming lane to pass on the left. All it...

Dear Doofus Rider in Rush Hour Traffic:

You know, three of us were riding up the right side of the STOPPED line of traffic correctly. Having YOU decide to pass the SAME line of traffic on the LEFT...

The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco - Mark Twain.

Congrats on the 40 years! We just celebrated 13 this weekend and looking forward to so many more.

This was our anniversary weekend (13 lucky years), so we rode every day. Friday we just did an "easy" lunchtime spin (I say easy -other might not). Saturday though, DH had big plans. We were at our...

Where? When? :D

Still winter here. I'm still wearing wool. I. WANT. TO. BE. WARM.

Like Crankin, I am outside of the lockdown area, but yesterday was very stressful, regardless. We stayed in most of the day with the doors locked, just in case. MANY of our friends live in the...

Oak - so glad that you are ok. This day has been surreal. Tracking down friends who were running, spectating, working in the area has been very stressful. Thankfully, everyone is now accounted for,...

Snakes not so much. Beautiful flowers on ANOTHER freezing day when we have a threat of snow, priceless.

Thanks, V!

I see that you are in the Boston area. The ride I listed as a women's only in the area is PERFECT for you. Beginner level rides (and you can progress to faster groups through the season), and the...

Be consistent. Our women's ride runs every Tuesday evening from the second week in May to the last week in August, starting at 6 pm. We ride the SAME loop EVERY week (it's not marked, but we have...

I'm going to echo Emily. Four years ago next month, my younger brother committed suicide. This was my second experience with this (the first being in high school). I am in a VERY loving and...

Thanks, all! I have gotten MUCH better at bridges over time. Usually, if they are reasonably wide (ish) and without penalty, I'm all set. I have much more trouble when I have to get up onto it, or...

Thanks for sharing that - great read! And I agree. I AM NOT CRAZY! I have a passion, and it is riding/racing my bike(s), pushing myself to always get better and BE better.

Thanks, Kacie, for...

Here in MA, the snow hasn't quite cleared out, and temps have been cold, with this week's 50 degrees during the day feeling like a heatwave. Despite Mother Nature (or perhaps, TO spite her), this...

I'm turning 45 this year, and was just at the doctor last week for a physical. I told her that my cycle is now every NINETEEN days (yup - you read that right), and some months lasts 3 days, some 4...

Take the small victory. Soon, the riding will come without any tears. Glad you got to this point, and KNOW that it will get better for you.

Constantly! My mother thinks it's disgusting, but she doesn't ride with me ;). As others have said - wait until you are in the rear, or at least be sure you aren't going to share with your fellow...

Are there enough women to suggest a second group for those who are no longer beginners, but are not ready to graduate to the general club ride? As mentioned, we offer several different groups on our...

Kernyl - this is the NEBC Tuesday Women's ride. You can find more information here: http://nebc.us/rides/tuesday-night-womens-ride/. Sign up for the Google group to get ride announcements, etc. It is...

The weather at lunch just said that on this day last year, our temp was 83. Today it is 34. Sigh. First race of the season this weekend, and RI (where the race is) just got 6 inches of snow...

Indy - right there with you! It's been a wicked week at work, and I am finally escalating today that I can't do this anymore. I am a contingent worker for a large computer company, and have been...

Owlie - absolutely YES! To me, it isn't about the pace of the ride - it's about the camaraderie and supporting other women who WANT to ride. There are days I can go out and do a fast ride with the...
