Yikes! How's the healing going?

Meant to switch my road bike to road-type pedals, which never happened, and these shoes are taking up space in my closet. Sizing: I haven't tried these on, but I wear the MTB sister line (also...
Hi! I'm back, kind of. I drop in to lurk from time to time, but I haven't been riding much.
So, what have you all been up to while I've been gone? :D
Aw, I'm glad she has a new home. I'm a little sad and happy for you at the same time, though, although I know why it was past time to let it go.
I was definitely picky, and most of my dislikes were texture (except veggies--my parents used to boil the living daylights out of everything, so they were sad and limp AND tasted awful). I also...
I'm about half-way. I passed my comprehensive exams in November, so that officially makes me a PhD candidate rather than just a grad student. :D
Haven't been riding much, unfortunately. ...
I've been gone for a while. Congrats on the new(ish) bike! She's pretty.
(Also, sorry about your stolen Ruby!)
I think I have a carpet beetle problem. They've chewed on several things, but always repairable. This time they chomped on one of my Smartwool base layers, and go figure it was the one that wasn't...
My laptop is about 5 years old, still going strong. I dread having to replace it because I love Windows 7.
Digital camera? It's still good, but I rarely use it.
The wheel thing: Probably not. Wheel upgrades go for aerodynamics and weight, really. Bear in mind that I have no clue what I'm talking about.
The frame thing: I've found that relaxed geometry...
Yay! We want pictures when you bring it home! ;)
So, BF was a very good BF this past weekend. The road bike and the CX bike have pretty much been neglected for a while (too hot to ride, and I am still not a morning person), so BF leveraged his...
I really liked the CAAD10, so hopefully a hypothetical women's CAAD12 will have the same geometry. (And I hope it comes with a disc version!)
Good job!
Snacks and plenty of water/some kind of sports drink. Gatorade/Powerade will work in a pinch, but I find them too sweet and lacking in other electrolytes beyond sodium. After the ride,...
All this has accomplished is making me want toast...
Very cool bike!
My second bike was a good bit more expensive than my first. (Well, it would have been had I bought it at retail price; I had an employee discount at the time so it came out about...
I'd try one if I could find one in my size! (51cm CAAD10 (women's) is perfect. I'd need a 48 in the CAADX, since the 51 is a bit on the long side for me, I think.)
Just read this. How scary! So glad it wasn't worse. Take care of yourself, and let yourself heal.
Gentle virtual ((hugs)).
White or reflective dots? You should be able to find reflective dots pretty easily, or as tape if you want to do stripes. (I know, reflective isn't cool.)
I LOVE the women's CAAD10. Fits me out of the box, and much more comfy a ride than some carbon.
Took the road bike out for the first time in months. Even though I bike to work only occasionally (I don't know how long I'll be at work until I get there), I think it's done me some good in terms...
You know, provided that one makes sure that the bike is actually assembled properly, it's not so bad to start out on an inexpensive bike. Start slow, start simple. No need to start changing things...
This warmed my frozen heart. :)
I didn't have too many friends who were in organized sports as kids. My best friend's dad, though, put a lot of pressure on both daughters to play soccer for the sake of soccer scholarships (mom was...
Rode to work and back today. I'm enjoying the fact that I can leave at my usual time (before 7am) and it's light outside. I won't be enjoying it in another month.
Stopped to help someone out...
