thanks.. i hadn't thought about broken ribs, though that would be much worse. this summer, I had a clipless issue with a camera in my hand and it didn't survive the fall. i was so mad.

awww.. thanks :)

I was spending too much time on forums, so i backed off most of them. since I log miles on BJ, i ended up occassionally getting sucked into something. and then, of course, Howard...

I think it was denise who had the setup with her DSLR on a rack on the back of her bike friday?

Anyway, I'm looking at a similar setup. I like the fact that being on a rack puts it in a little...

funny to think we ladies do the same thing....

i agree with all you gals, those guys are way too skinny.

Thankyou for taking the time to reply.

Tomgrrl, you sound like you have a different kind of pain? I think I know which one you are talking about. let me know if i'm wrong. it's more of a shooting...

I don't know that i've ever fully understood these. i always assumed they were caused by friction.

I agree with the ladies above.

how about heat? is it much warmer there now? (or more humid?)

many thanks for posting.

yeah I have. Some of the 'milder' ones more often. the dryness of the air doesn't help any. the fact i can recognize it makes me wonder if it is not as bad as it sounds, but no reason to take chances...

MP, you're absolutely right. I've looked at the stats of riders, and even if you don't need it for a team, i think it would be silly not to. I was hoping that we would do the 508, and i was thinking...

Don't get a flat! :eek: Just finished a much longer than necessary ride home in 108F.

thought I'd start a new thread here so we don't hijack those watching this years RAAM.

I'm in. For the pedaling part. I don't think I could do support. You gals who can are my heroes!

RAAM 2008, count me in! (when do I have to tell my family?:eek: )

I get to ride this one!! My new club does many of the CA doubles, and theyr'e doing this one, which means I get to hitch a ride and ride it!!!

61 miles here. I rode to the bike club, was running a tad late. I arrived as the A Group was leaving, and went to join the other group. (Note the b group rides at 20-23mph, so I'm not sure how much...

One of my secret desires is to do the solo RAAM.

Calling in from the asphalt desert - Phoenix metro. i concur with all these ladies about water and liquid. I actually run electrolytes in my camelbak - the stuff from alacer. It's 100% minerals, so...

no mtn bike, but I have different gloves for my road bike with campy hoods and for my fixie with shimano hoods. shimano hoods are thinner, which eats into my hand faster, thus needing more padding....

texting is something I yell at my roommate for doing. I actually told her that she should consider how she felt if she killed me because she was texting. If not me, another cyclist.
