Continuing with the nuclear legacy, I used to live in Oak Ridge, TN. One of my favorite rides used to take me past the gates to Oak Ridge National Lab, the Y-12 weapons facility, and the former K-25...

Midget,
Thanks! Bf lives and works in the Park Row area. We'll be out of town this weekend and the next, but I'll check in with you for the weekend of the 30th.

Midget -

Where do you ride? My bf recently moved to Katy, and he (and I) are looking for places to ride. We've ridden with the Mustang/Wood Group MS 150 team for the last couple of years and are...

As soon as I can come up with a good photo, count me in! My Bianchi is soooo near and dear to my heart!

Hehe! I recently adopted a dog from the local shelter. I guess I have pet-speak on the brain.

Just replied to your PM. :)

In purchasing a "lot" of jerseys, etc. at a bike shop auction, I ended up with a sports bra that is too big for me to wear. Any takers?

The...

I also have a WTB saddle on my mtb. I opted for the Speed She, and I'm pretty happy with it.

It's light and comfortable, and the "love channel" works as well as a cut out for me (I'm in the...

My bf and his friends like to tease about Luna bars being girly food. In fact, I think it's one of their favorite running jokes. But, I know that if I offered bf a Luna bar without the wrapper he'd...

I'd agree with your bf. Go for the pb&j and extra calories along the way. Dairy and caffeine trigger my IBS, so I try to avoid them as best as I possibly can. I've done 3 MS150s, and they tend to be...

A similar bill was proposed in Texas last year, but the state legislature didn't approve it. Maybe someday....

Hehe! That's a pretty good list!

I hope that everyone had a fun and *safe* ride this weekend. Mine was a blast :D . Even better, as I was unloading my bike in the parking lot of my apt complex...

Aggie_Ama,

I'm riding with the Mustang/Wood Group team (and I'm a grad student at A&M). I guess we'll be yelling together tomorrow morning!

See you bright and early.

Having been a volunteer...and casual observer of a ride organized by members of my cycling club, maybe these suggestions will help.

Re: Volunteers
Have you thought about contacting student groups...

Did anyone do the TriCounty Hillhopper today? How was it?

Wish I could have been there!

Sounds like they must have done the food/tickets differently last year. I don't remember needing a ticket for food...but I do remember having more beer tickets than I could consume! That said, I...

I rode out of Houston two years ago and wasn't all that impressed. Though traffic wasn't bad, the small towns we rode through weren't prepared for an onslaught of riders, the police support was...

I like your avatar too...but I love the description of your location! Are you riding the BASH from Austin, Houston, or San Antonio? (Based on your "location", I'm assuming Austin.)

I've done it...

I can second Cali's Performance Ultra short recommendation. They've served me well through several centuries...possibly my most favorite shorts to date.:)

TxRider,

Did you do the Bluebonnet the year it rained so badly at the start? There was so much gunk in my cleats/pedals after being hearded into that livestock arena that I had trouble getting...

LOL. My sentiments exactly. Too bad the canned stuff is never as good as homemade!

Thanks for explaining! Sorry to disappoint, but I'm not the same Emily. I am familiar with the "wind is your friend" mantra, though. It really gets gusty in College Station.

You've got me...

Not that I'm aware. I'm curious though. Can you tell me more about it?

My frame of reference isn't huge, but my experience has been:

1. University (student fitness center) only had clipless pedals (spd) for the instructor. All others had cages.

2. Local gym has...
