Oh - yup! Now I know where that is. Have definitely been up there, but don't ride up there much.

Crankin' - trying to picture where this is...

We were moving from Mississauga, Ontario to Calgary, Alberta when I was a kid. Movers came and loaded all of our belongings onto a big 18-wheeler for the trip out. Somewhere in Thunder Bay, Ontario,...
This is normal survivor guilt, but you need to let it go. I spent years after my high school boyfriend committed suicide in the guilt cycle. In the end, I was finally able to realize that there...
You, of all people, like me, know that suicide is complex. Everyone reacts differently, regardless of their relationship with the deceased. I like what you have planned - a ride to remember him. I...
I am dreaming of that day... It is still sub-freezing here in the Northeast. Getting pretty tired of these cold temps. Supposed to hit 57 on Thursday, but then back down into the 30s on the weekend....
Even if you are, it shouldn't be the #1 thing you are looking at! I typically don't look at too much data while riding, but analyze it afterward instead. And the best rides are when the technology...
I totally feel for all of you. I am approaching the 6th anniversary of losing my younger brother, and I miss him every day. Also coming up on three years since I lost my grandma, who was a major...
With the snow we had this winter, and the fact that there is still 2feet of it in my yard, it will be June before the trails dry out enough here! Did do lots of fat biking this winter though.

Jolt - sorry to rant. I just wanted to make the point that I love to ride with ANYONE. :D It wasn't you, it was me.

Another beautiful day here in the northeast, and despite a short time frame, I managed to squeeze in a quick ride after work. Opted for the bike path again thinking that it would be safer than the...
Let me investigate some of the gravel in relative proximity to you :). I assumed you were talking road bikes, where I would have tried for a 35mm or 40 mm tire. If you are planning on an MTB, then...
Congrats, Jolt! I have never done the D2R2 (it typically conflicts with something else on my calendar), but have done PLENTY of NE gravel road riding/racing. In fact, my first gravel race is coming...
I've been riding all winter - lots of fat bike riding on snow, and lots of cold temperatures.
But yesterday? A balmy 45 degrees! No winter mittens, no bulky tights, no down jacket... It was,...
I wouldn't say sick of TE - I love this place. That said, I am pretty prolific at social media (FB, Twitter and Instagram) for myself, and our bike team. I find that managing that takes up enough...
Jolt - this is normal. The snow right now is not the right consistency to make it easy going on the fat bikes. It needs to be harder packed than what is possible given the cold temps and fluffy...
Beth - so good to see you back!

I use a Garmin 500 when I race. But when I am racing, I don't look at it. One - it is too distracting to me (and I have 8 fields displayed so trying to find what I am looking for in a hypoxic state...
Thanks for posting, Salsa. Sad news indeed. I was, in fact, wondering recently about Fredwina.

Oh - YIKES! I've done this, too, and it HURTS. Now imagine doing it and you are of a different gender... I know of one guy who did that and got himself, um, stuck.

Drool. Though a bit pricey for me!

Could be, but my Cannondale SuperX with Discs is 16.5 lbs. And THAT is lighter than the bike I had with cantilevers (but I also went from aluminum to carbon). There is not that much of a weight...
My DH "retired" a year and a half ago, and is really happy. In the meantime, I continue to hold down my full time job, carrying our living expenses, medical, etc. I don't HATE my job, and in fact, am...
Also not quite accurate. Disc brakes have been out for YEARS, and there are a couple of good industry standards. Do you mean there are no standards on the brakes, or on the frames they are now being...
My racing CX bikes at the moment, both with mechanical disc brakes (Cannondale SuperX carbon frames with carbon wheels) weigh the SAME as my Cannondale Evo carbon road bike with traditional canti...
