Lisa, you said it's a 16" -- how tall are you?
I ride a Small Gary Fisher, which I think is a 15.
I have since become a fan of Sidi over the years but I can comment at least a little on the Carnacs and DMTs as I have had both in a road shoe at least. I probably like the Carnacs better than the...
Don't think I saw Bianchi on the list -- just got one this year for CX (I'm an entry level CXer) and I really like it, and a good price point as well. There are 3 levels (I think) of CX bikes...
I lived there from 2004-2006 (Haarlem, worked in Amsterdam) -- this brings back great memories!
Christina, I can certainly relate, new job in the last year as a Director in a large company, huge changes going on at our company, trying to learn how to race this year -- started the season out...
That's great you've found some groups...a little further to go, but it's a start.
The hamster, that's really funny. It's funny to an American at least, to see a hamster face on a shopping bag, it...
Yup -- it's like you are riding behind him, he has a camera he calls "Troy-Cam" (ha ha he's such a geek ;-) and while he rides thru the countryside he essentially has you do the equivalent gear...
Violette, also try going to www.expatica.com, to the NL site, and see if you can query on the forum boards and ask expats if they know of any....
Where were you "dutch" riding girls when I lived there ;-) ?
I think the issue for me with the touring groups is they were primarily male, and primarily dutch. And altho I learned to speak some...
Violette,
Go to the Spinervals website, Troy puts free workouts out there -- pretty much what you are looking for. He has a good dela of into out there as well. On the main page, left hand column...
Well he calls it that....;)
I just tried "Autumn Ride" (I think that was the name) and I liked it also. It's a great diversion from him normal indoor stuff. I am hoping he makes more and maybe...
Hi,
Well I was in NL a little over 2 yrs, and just moved back last year! I still was never able to find a women's riding group -- we actually started doing quite a bit of MTB there believe it or...
Hey Bluetree, did you sell these yet?
After buying my 2nd WSD bike (first was my road bike, now my MTB - A genesister), I found that the WSD fit was great for people like me -- shorter waisted, only 5'3" but longer legs (30" inseam). ...
Twice (maybe 3 times) now I've ridden the same trails by me -- lots of singletrack and there's this one specific skinny area where I always seem to go off kilter and the fastest reaction is to grab...
No...it was Melissa Haberman - now Arps I think, she has sinced moved to Michigan....really great mtn biker....:D
A few years ago (before I moved overseas and our group kind of disbanded temporarily) we had a mtn biker in our group (with a mtn bike, with knobby tires) who beat the pants off of us with shiny new...
Deena,
I sent a note to Roshelle as well -- we try to ride once weekly then add on where when we can. So, if there are certain days that work better for you--we usu do a weekly thru Root River...
Hi, I will drop you an email at your email address -- we are riding casually (I just moved from overseas so my riding time's been hampered!!).
Look forward to riding with a new roadie!

*Sigh* I wish I could stop wearing high heels but I can't!!! Someone once told me when I hit 40, I wouldn't want to wear them anymore. Well, passed that milestone, still wearing them!! (Although I...
I've been doing yoga (classes and/or DVDs) for about 5 years and I have found I get alot of improvement in my cycling, as well as freedom from aches and pains when I practice regularly. (Off season...
I think that probably looks like the one of the *biggest* smiles you've had right? Esp after they called your name as a top winner!! And that was a great report too, keep 'em coming.
Maybe after...
Check out Pedal-On, I second Brandy on that one. Also look at some new tunes from Zero 7 (mellower techno, good for warmup, cool down, long winding spins) -- something different to try....I found...
:p Great job!! Post pictures if you've got them!! Congrats on your fantastic entry in to the season!
