Thanks for your kind words, Trek-chick. I'm doing a century with a friend this weekend on an organized ride. I may just take her with me. She could use a long bike ride. I'll just hang on to her...
No Maidei hasn't retired. I am embarrassed to say that I still have her. Sammy sent her to me last November because I wanted to take her to the Florida Ironman and she arrived while we were gone. ...
Good luck to you Renee! It looks like the weather will be perfect in Florida for the race. I'll see you in T1! Safe travels.
To cheer for my husband and 5 others that have been training for this race. I'm so excited and proud of him. I am volunteering in the T1 tent. I just wondered if anyone else will be racing down...
Being cold on the bike makes for a miserable ride. It sounds like you will be warm enough and it's going to be a beautiful day for a ride. The temps are going to warm up as the morning progresses...
Oh my, I haven't thought of overuse injuries! Maybe I'll take her to a good massage therapist after the m:)arathon. I want her to be in good shape to enjoy the Ironman!
I'm not doing Ironman, DH is, but I am running the Chicago marathon October 7. I completely forgot about that. I wonder if Maidei would like to run the Chicago marathon? I'll try to coordinate with...
Catrin,
Do you still have Maidei? If no one else has spoken for her, could I get her again? I regret that I didn't take her to St. Louis last year and I'm planning to be there for a few days in a...
Thanks so much. We are looking for 25-50 mile rides and then DH has a 4.5 hour ride to get in while we are there. God only knows how many miles that will be...probably close to a century. I've...
I just got my first kayak for Mother's Day and it's a 12' sit inside. DH has a 12' sit on top so he can fish. His is more stable and heavier than mine. He can let his legs hang over the side or...
DH and I are headed to HHI for a week's vacation and are bringing the bikes. DH is training for IM Florida and hoped to get a couple long rides in but the distance is so limited on the Island. We...
That's wonderful. I'm so happy for you and I love the video. Awesome news!
Kajero,
I'm so sorry that you had such a serious accident. Give yourself some time to heal and don't feel pressured to ride again until you are ready. That beautiful new bike isn't going...
Great job, Oak! Congratulations on your race and your BQ! I can't wait to read your race report on that one. You had me sniffling reading this one.
The Illinois Marathon is a great race. It's...
I completed my first tri of the year today and while I took 5th in my age group, I'm proud of my effort. This is the third year that I've been doing tris. I've decided to move from sprint to...
Great job, Oak! Can't wait to read the report.
I like Louis Garneau and Giordana. A good rule to follow when buying shorts is to buy the smallest size you can wear and the most expensive you can afford.
And you definitely need to be sure the lawn is well manicured if you are going to wear white shorts............
Loading up the bars with weights and not removing them when they (the big dudes) are finished and mothers who bring their sons over the age of 4 into the ladies dressing room. Grrrrrrr.
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha:D
I guess it all depends on your perspective. The thought of riding in the city scares me to death:eek:
Illinois has official bicycle maps which will show you the best and safest country roads to...
Good luck!
Can't wait to hear the report. I know you will do awesome.
Congrats, Snap!! I'm so happy for you and can't wait for that day myself (6 more years).
Wow! That's a woman that never stopped moving. I just had to post that one on facebook;)
No, it's not easy watching Mom's decline. I've been so vocal about her sendentary lifestyle over the...
There you go! Find what works for you. You will know it when you find it and shopping for a new bike is so much fun.
PS. I have a Jamis Coda and really like the bike.
