I agree that South Beach is another good option for weight loss. I have to say that though there are low carb foods available, the focus of Atkins is also on healthy eating habits using "real" food....

It's in Colorado and it is cross country. The length last year was about 15 miles but they have a new course this year so it may be slightly different. My guess is that it will remain approximately...

I am moving to the Grand Rapids area in July and wondered what kind of mountain biking I can expect. Are there any women's groups or informal groups of women who ride around there? I would be willing...

I just signed up and paid for my first mountain bike race. It's not until April but my nervousness is already there in the back of my brain. My goal is to finish.... that's it. Nothing major. Since I...

I too ended up getting a cell phone because my partner wanted to feel like I was safer while riding since I was usually alone. So at first I placated her but then I started feeling more comfortable...

Great bike!! Gives new meaning to the term "banana" seat! :D What's the new bike's name??

Okay, I feel a little dumb since the original post was posted in 2002!!! Oh well! :p

Fruita does rock!! Do you go to the Fruita Fat Tire Festival in April? This year it's April 29-May 2. I already made hotel reservations... I was too excited to wait! :rolleyes: Camped last year and...

I have lost about 40 pounds and I've always biked. When I was younger I did road riding and then started mountain biking when I moved to Colorado for college. So I didn't take up biking to lose...

Well I have to chime in since Atkins has worked for me. The key here, in my opinion, is that it really is a lifestyle and that doesn't mean I lose the weight and then go back to my old eating habits....

What's the earliest in the year you have gone to Moab? I should be home (Colorado) for good at the end of January and can hardly stand waiting to go to Moab. The earliest I've been was in February...

In the mean time, ice, heat, and an anti-inflammatory medication (Advil, Aleve) can help it feel better immediately. I had the same problem and no one could figure out what was causing it. I happened...

I probably got less bruises when I first started mountain biking because I was so careful. As I got more confident, I became more aggressive and started to get scratches, bumps, and bruises up a lot...

I like reading what other people's specific goals are... it motivates me to set goals for myself.

My only real goal/resolution for 2004 is to finish a cross-country mtb race. I'll do the beginner...

I also run, hike, backpack and weight train all year round. Winters I snowshoe and mtn bike as much as the weather will allow. The cool thing about Colorado is that I can often mountain bike and...

Welcome to the wonderful world of MTB! Once you get over most of your nervousness, you'll see what a BLAST it is! There is some trail etiquette that you should be aware of.

When approaching...

I'm with you Irulan! Give me eggs every morning and I'm happy. I like the bacon too unless I'm riding or running... it gives me the urps! lol For a change I like pancakes... but they too have to be...

There are also lots of low carb muffin and pancake mixes out there. So you can still prepare them ahead of time but get a lot more protein than in regular muffins... even chocoloate! :D

In the Mountain Bikers Training Bible, he (Friel) developed a program that is ultimately for racers because it's centered on peak performances at certain times for certain races. But I wasn't racing...

I also do the weight lifting and running thing during the off season. Since I'm in Colorado I can usually get some riding during the winter but not as much as I'd like so I use the trainer sometimes...

RdDezert, that's definitely true about Texans in general... the ones I have encountered anyway. But the price of parking at the university is SOOO expensive and difficulty to find and it's only 1 1/2...

I have about a 15 minute commute and I generally just go along with traffic. I'm temporarily in Houston so I've had to get used to people in general not knowing what to do with a bicyclist on the...

... and you can bet, if we DID have bananas, there would have been pretty banana protectors available lonnnnng ago! :p Glitter and warming device included!

At some point, you'll probably fall ag. But that happens with cages, flat peddles and clipless. It's just part of the sport. If you shop around for peddles and get some that allow loosening, you'll...

I agree that if it's already got the liner, there's no need for undies. I'm with RdDezert though about "that time of the month" although then I wear a thong. Can't stand full undies anymore....
