what do you consider quite cold? I guess I'm trying to get an idea of what temps you are riding at...and length of time you are riding might help too.

thanks for the advice-- I actually just bought these shoes from a very reputable running store. They did look at my arch before helping me choose, but maybe I should head back to them and see if...
This winter I have been keeping myself busy at the gym by running. I've run in the past, but this time I'm loving it. I've worked myself up to 6 mile runs, but regularly run between 3 1/2 to 4 1/2...
I'm with jobob when she says she doesn't think it's her body giving off the amonia smell. It really does seem as if it's coming from within the nasal passages somewhere. None of my clothes smell...
I was just going to post a similar topic!! I have had that amonia smell as well-- after especially long rides and lately after some of my longer runs. I too have wondered what is was, but have no...
OK, I'll preface this by saying I think all people who ride outside in the wintertime are crazy ;) No, really- I think they're crazy! ;) It's not my thing at all--I'd rather do spin class 10 times...
OK, this might be a totally silly question, but...I know for biking the rule is no underware with the shorts, but now during the winter I've taken up running and all the shorts have a liner in them--...
Hi All, well winter for me is almost here and I have been pondering cross country skiing as an alternative to indoor riding this year. I am wondering if I can get some people's thoughts about...
yeah, isn't that the best feeling?! I did a century ride in Northern MN a couple of weeks ago--it was 44 degrees that day and 20+mph winds. Miles 1-10 I absolutely thought--what in the hell am I...
I'm not pro or con shaving/waxing, but I did hear (and can't remember if I posted it here or elsewhere- so sorry if this is repeated...) that hair down there has the purpose of reducing friction...
I agree, that site rocks!! I can hardly wait to put it to good use-- thanks Susan!
I second the notion of trying to find a women's specific jersey. I have some jerseys a guy friend of mine didn't want anymore and honestly I can't wear them (even though they are they same size I...
I love it as well for the time it gives me to escape from the world. I love how powerful and fast I feel when I'm on my roadbike bike, and I love the muscular legs that it leaves me with (even...
Although saddle sores might not be life threatening (I'm not a Dr. , but I think that if they were to become infected and untreated they could become very serious--if an infection is left untreated...
Hey Veronica,
Yep, 5th grade too! I teach in Minneapolis at a public inner city school and I have 28 kids right now, but our population tends to be very transient, so you never know how many...
I finally got home and checked it out. Wow, skinny is right! I think it's funny because a friend of mine who races is always talking about how he wants to lose weight so he can be faster, but he's...
Damn, I'm at work and I don't think the 5th grader's parents would appreciate hearing any stories of me looking at naked men (no matter how ugly) during class--although they probably wouldn't care to...
hmmm, all of these posts got me to thinking...a husband...that's the part I forgot, next time I'm going to plan ahead and get myself one of them so he can watch the kids while I ride ;) Maybe...
OK, I've never been chased by a dog, but being an owner of a big protetive dog myself I know how true it is that if they smell fear it is all over....so, what if a dog started to chase me and I just...
I've got one word for ya-- babysitter (and if a grandma lives nearby you're doubley lucky-- they'd practically pay YOU for extra time with the grandkid while you go riding ;)). I have a 6 year old...
I don't know the answer to your question ;) but I would say that what seems to be the biggest hurdle for many who join my women's group ride (a no drop ride of about 35 miles) is not the distance,...
Gotcha-- thanks for the clarification ;) You just keep at it and it'll be no problem. Multiday rides are my favorite-- you meet some great people and have some great experiences along the way. ...
Is it just me, or do other people out there not know what the "STP" is? Help ;)
one more thing....my shoes are a men's size 8.5 (42) and I normally wear a women's size 9. so, they are a little bigger than I would've expected to have to buy. I wouldn't go so much by size, as I...
Hey,
I can sympathize with your shoe dilemna!! I've been riding for about a year and a half and have been through 4 different pair of shoes!! I finally found a pair that fit great and they are...
