Don't be mislead by the 27.5 label. A 27.5 is not halfway between a 26" and a 29". It's actually much closer to a 26". even though I am tall enough for a 29 and ride some 29 bikes, I love the 27.5...

Good for you, Sue. Weather was always a factor when I lived in Illinois, too, as far as how many miles I could ride in January. Go for it.

She surely is. Congrats.

As N.Y. says, don't lock :) yourself into what other are doing. Lots of good choices on pedals, these days. Nothing automatic about having to choose clipless.

If I had to pick a sport to watch while on the trainer, I think it would be something faster-paced. Basketball would get me in better shape. :)

Another fan of music for indoor riding. I just put on the headphones and use some of my playlists my iPod. The music helps get me motivated to ride indoors. It's the only time I listen to music when...

Yeah, my indoor trainer is something I love to hate, but it sure does have a place in my biking. My Cycleops allowed me to stay in condition while recovering from my accident, last summer. Only...

I'll bet that Di2 would spoil me, too. Almost afraid to even try that setup, but since I'm all flat bar, now, probably never will.

Crankin, no, the disc brakes have nothing to do with how the bike shifts. MTB trigger shifters/derailleur combos vary tremendously on how they easily and fast they shift. Be sure to position and...

My husband is a colon cancer survivor, so just letting you know that it can be beat. Stay strong.

Half inch of snow, overnight. Not enough to make the trails slippery, but rode the Norco fat bike just to be safe. The big 4.8" wheels did a nice job of re-packing the fresh snow for me and the Norco...

Good to hear the storm's effect won't be around long. Yeah, that road salt was a real headache for me back in my Chicago winter commuting days. Had to clean off my bike every night when I got home...

Hope it works out for you, Crankin. Our weather continues to be cold, but at least we've had a little sunshine. That does help my mood, at least.

13 miles, today, all on the fat bikes, including...

Like I said, I'm a little crazy. :)

Overnight lows now in single digits and about 5" of snow on the ground. Yup, still riding, snow and cold, notwithstanding. Same old crazy me.

No new snow, now, for a couple days, so have been...

So right about every ride on dry pavement now being a gift. Looks like I'm done, barring an unusual thaw. More snow, last night, almost 3". The plows haven/t been out all day, so probably be tomorrow...

Thanks.

A little more snow, today, maybe a little more, tonight, then a a mostly dry week, next week. All in all, not bad. Can still ride both our local roads and my trails. The roads may clear...

We got our snow, today. Not a lot, about 3". Still, it was enough to have a real snow day of fat biking on the Norco Sasquatch (great bike). Got out on our neighborhood roads before they were plowed...

Might have to check out that vest. Thanks. Been such a long time since I've ridden in the dark, but was a daily thing, back in my commuting to work days. Some of those early morning in the dark rides...

We're forecast to get three or four inches of snow over the next 48 hours and with the ground now frozen and temps staying below freezing, it might be the last we see of our lawn till spring. That...

Some serious climbing with gradients like that. We're also mostly hills, but a lot gentler in nature. Would definitely have to work myself up to that stuff you rode. Good job on your part.

Hey,...

Actually, I like them, too. Just that this old body resists getting stretched when I go back and forth between MTBs and road bikes. Thanks to my accident, my neck also complains, now, when I'm not in...

Yeah, but it has that goofy curved handlebar. :)

Rain, and me riding in the rain, is beginning to seem normal, now. Yup, another wet ride, this morning. Rode the 2 miles over to our town hall to vote, then kept going for another 9 miles of pavement...

4 or 5 days out of seven riding or other outdoor activity is pretty good for someone still working and/or raising a family. Back when I was doing both, there were weeks when I couldn't keep that...
