Darn! I wish I'd known about that before I made plans for Sunday. How I haven't heard anything, I have no idea.
Where's the ride, Ariel? Is it in Ocala? I didn't know there was a Century this weekend. Unfortunately, I've been so busy between work and planning my January event, the 2009 Ride Roll Run Relay,...
I pour a little bit of flavored creamer in my oatmeal. My favorite is fat free hazelnut. Yum!
The salt in the chocolate and latte Power Gels always helps me. I seem to do better on those gels than on the Shot Bloks. I'm really picky about flavor though, and the chocolate and latte are the...
My DH is usally pretty good, but I still get frustrated with him now and then. In fact, this weekend I told him that I'm going to carry my airsoft gun and shoot him in the butt with it when he gets...
I also resisted test riding until I was ready to buy. I just pet the pretty bikes and sighed a lot.
Hi everyone. I wanted to invite any mountain bikers in or around the Ocala area to check out the Ride Roll Run Relay. It's a relay made up of one equestrian, one mountain biker and one trail...
Are you doing the Century on the Withlacoochee ride? I wish I could do it. I ride the Withlacoochee all the time. It's on the same day as Susan Komen's Race for the Cure at Disney though, and I've...
I strongly recommend this book. I read it from cover to cover (except the mountain bike part), and I still go back and read parts over.
...
You're welcome. I'm 5'4.5". I always have to make sure I throw in that .5". LOL! My inseam is 29". I rode a 50 non WS bike, a Mercer Galaxy for several months. Not only was it too tall for me,...
I just bought a 48 Orbea Onix Dama, and I don't find her squirrely at all. She's quite fast, nimble and stable at the same time. I haven't found anything about her that I'm not in love with. The...
I love a good Shiraz. I used to get just about a glass a day, but lately I don't seem to have as much time to just sit and relax while I drink a glass of wine in the evening. As others have...
Good for you! Keep it up!
I don't know about climbing the hill by itself, but climbing was a breeze compared to my old bike. I hit the hills for the first time this weekend. The first big hill was a little bit of a struggle...
I say go for 105's if you can. I got Ultegra SL's, and they're awesome!
As for the bike shop, deal with the people you like and avoid the ones you don't. I've had really great experiences at a...
I bought an entry level ($500) small men's bike this past April. Like you, I was new to the sport, and I didn't want to spend a lot of money since I wasn't sure it was something that I would...
I was having a lot of numbness after I would ride as well as some pain. He figured out what I was doing and told me to stop it. I was putting more weight on the pad at the base of my thumb. He...
I've eaten a power bar or a bagel with peanut butter right before I hop on my bike, and I've never had a problem with getting cramps or getting sick. The only time I've had a problem is if I have...
After two great rides, and several sessions of just standing in the garage and admiring her, I finally found a name for my brand new Orbea Onix Dama. Her name is Minx.
The definition of minx is...
My first "long" ride was 11 miles. I thought I was going to DIE before it was over with. There were some hills on it but nothing major. Or at least not major to me. My major hills may be nothing...
My LBS has a board for checking your arches, and they have special isoles for biking shoes. The soles come with various shims that allow you to adjust the fit of your shoes to you. A complete bike...
Hi Wildhawk. My hubbie and I are signed up to do the MS150 on Sept 20th....if we can raise the funds. Right now we're still short of the minimum. We're planning on only doing the Saturday portion...
I bought mine from Nashbar, and I love them! I always wear sleeveless jersey's, so I just do the bra strap trick and pull the straps out the arm holes. It drives my husband crazy that I can have...
First for the question on the name of the store, it is Santos Trailhead Bike Shop. Go to the main shop on US Hwy 441, not the Villages shop. I'm not crazy about the people working at the second...
My husband and I both ride. We live in Ocala, so we ride on the Withalacoochee Trail and the Hawthorne - Gainesville Trail a lot. We won't be at the Withalacoochee Trail Ride on the 5th though,...
