My niece, who is now 15, enjoyed the Rick Riordan series which was suggested by a middle-school Reading teacher (friend of mine). Her students loved them & my niece really liked them as well.

Frequent lurker, infrequent poster here.

... had chronic dislocations all throughout high school & into college. I tried less invasive measures, but finally had the first surgery about 18 years...

Definitely bring your own tent/sleeping bag - you can drop it off at the luggage trucks with your bags at whichever starting point you are leaving from.

I'm not 100% sure about how it works for...

Ouch - will likely be very tough to find a hotel room at this point. Have you considered just staying overnight at the fairgrounds? If you're riding with a team, you can probably sleep in the team...

Checking in from the Cypress area (Northwest part of Houston) - power was just restored to our area of town this afternoon, but most of the area around us is still without it.

Have not heard about this ride, but I remember Junction, Texas quite well. About 2 years ago, on a trip to New Mexico, we stopped at a barbecue restaurant out there. I'm not a huge fan of barbecue,...

I also had braces as an adult and just got them off about 4 years ago. I guess I was lucky because, for the most part, I didn't really have much pain or soreness other than when they put the spacers...

I'm somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8" and ride a 56 cm Ruby Expert.

Reading about this got me thinking about an incident that happened to my father years ago - same idea, someone kept stealing the snacks he brought in his lunch on a daily basis.

Well, he and...

Wow - I didn't realize that the Expert changed colors this year although I guess I should have since they usually do yearly.

I know it's probably unlikely, but maybe a bike shop somewhere has an...

I agree with the others who suggested the Expert ... I knew that I wanted the Ruby, but couldn't justify the extra cost for the Pro since I don't get to ride nearly as much as I'd like. So, the...

I am also riding a Ruby Expert, but it's a 56 cm. I'm 5'8", but not sure about inseam.

Derf - LOVE IT! This is my 2nd road bike (replaced an entry-level Specialized Allez) & I couldn't be...

BikerHen -

I have the Ruby Expert & it's an amazing bike! Took a little getting used to the compact double compared to the triple I had on my Allez, but now I wouldn't trade it for anything! I...

Had a couple of those "oops, new at the clipless pedal thing & forgot to clip out" experiences when I first switched over.

Also, about a year ago, while on a training ride for the MS150, had...

I live in this area & I would agree that checking out Northwest Cyclery's route would be a good place to start. You can find the route map online...

I'm cursed with bad knees as well. Same thing - chronic dislocations and I agree, some of the worst pain you have ever experienced. I had surgery on the right knee for the first time while in...

I actually work in this area and there is a nice park (Terry Hershey Park) with a paved trail just off of Memorial. Round trip, I think you can easily ride 20 miles or so. The main problem though...

Caligirl... saw that you mentioned something about a carbon stem recall on Specialized bikes as well. Do you have a link to information on that?

Another person signing praises of the Sugoi RS Flex shorts! I've ridden a local charity ride for five years & this was the first time that I got up Sunday morning (after 100 miles on Saturday) and...

Several of my friends & I use Headsweats year-round ... they have a sweatband sewn in at the bottom & are made out of Coolmax material which helps wick away the sweat. I also have one of their hats...

This happened on a very popular cycling route in NW Houston. I did not know him personally, but the unfortunate victim trained with the same group as I did for last month's Houston to Austin MS150....

I trained with a group for the Houston half marathon a couple of years ago & we all used Fuel Belts. I found it to be convenient b/c I could carry more than one type of fluid - water in a couple and...

Yeah, I noticed that Beeville should have probably been Bellville but I just did a copy & paste. Or, someone was making a reference to the Bike to the Beach MS150 where the overnight is in Beeville...

Hope everyone did well ... thought everyone who rode would appreciate this ...

Top Ten signs you did the MS 150

10. Your legs hurt.
9. You learn that the connection between rocky road and...

Good luck to everyone this weekend! Stay safe out there! Looks like the weather is going to be great (although a bit hot), but a nice tailwind the whole way if the forecast holds true! :D
