Sadie KAte,

Thanks for your input. I don't think that he's intentionally witholding info. I suspect that he may not be completely aware. I'm glad that you were able to break down the...

I generally am fearful of getting the bike tuned and everything aligned. But, I have to remind myself that somehow hubby learned how to rip a tractor into pieces, all the way down to the driveshaft...

Or to at least check out in person??

I want to get a mountain bike, though I can't really go all out and buy a NICE new one... Because 1. I probably won't ride it THAT often, I love road biking...

I was going to decorate our second bathroom with bicycling stuff. But, it really is my hobby vs. the hubby's too. SO, I tweaked the idea. It's more about adventures that my hubby and I have had. ...

The wikipedia entries were helpful. I forget that sport sometimes means an activity of skill rather than shear strength/stamina/flexibility.

I don't have a problem with beach volleyball as an olympic sport. It takes as much endurance as anything. Hubby and I discussed the uniforms last night too. I personally think that something like...

Thanks!! I am sure that I can run it, I'll try that. I wasn't sure if I should leave a layer of grass or get to dirt. In my head I thought that with a bit of grass, it wouldn't get so muddy. But,...

I'm trying to make a path through the groves on our acreage. Partly meant as a garden path type thing, partly as something to run on when I'm tired of going just up and down my driveway, and partly...

So what do you ladies read or subscribe to?

That's excellent. I'm not yet ready for back to back centuries. I would like to do a century at a better pace than I typically do.

Good for you!

It is a touchy issue. Usually if a bike person is interested, they can and will find out for themselves. So, I will typically chat about the cost of an item. I may ballpark it with a non-cyclist...

You can find the full story here, on my blog.

The shorter version:

On Saturday we had winds above 17mph, gusting to 25 mph from the Southeast, the direction that we were going. My hubby was on...

The Pedal the Plains ride starts tomorrow. My hubby is joining me. He's a bit nervous. Farming hasn't quite allowed him what one would call adequate training time. He's ridden twice this summer. ...

Well, I'm in South Dakota. That's just around the corner from North Carolina. :D My aunt and uncle live there, but I don't know that they'll be back in this area for a little while and they...

I have been trying to watch for a used mountain bike, I just haven't been lucky enough to find a decent one around here. Sure, there are trashed huffy and Wal-Mart bikes around at rummage sales... ...

I have a roadbike and I have a hybrid bike. When I got each I lived in town, now I live out in the country, but just off of a paved road.

I would like to do some rides on gravel roads. I do ride...

What size shoe do you normally wear? I wear size nine, though a running shoe of mine is 9w. I don't remember what size I wear in a men's shoe. I don't think that my feet are particularly wide... ...

Does anyone have a pair of Keen Women's Commuting Sandals? Do you like them? I've been wanting a pair of sandals for a couple of years now.

I've been eyeing these:...

But have never actually stopped. I've seen that sign too. I don't know why I've never stopped. It's never on the agenda for work and when I'm there for leisure, I never think to.

I've been to...

I had to go to the Badlands for work this past week. I've often thought that it'd be cool to bike through the park. I hopefully will sometime, though ideally during a slightly more off season time....

Really the hardest part, especially the last day was just getting on the bike. And I think that everyone really inspired each other to keep going. A person gets into a 'We're all in this together'...

I didn't take any ibuprofren last night. And I'm feeling better today, though if I use any stairs in my house, I can definately feel a bit of a burn in my thighs. Much better than I felt last...

Well, it's 6a.m. and try as I might to sleep in, my body is finally used to getting up early and biking. But, my butt is still protesting so I doubt that I'll ride for a week or so. (I have to go...

The SD legislature made a rule excluding bicycles and horses from the definition of vehicle for the purpose of DUI's. So, you can ride home, or you can ride home.

There were a lot of ticked off...

Best wishes from South Dakota too!
