Thanks for the suggestions, folks! I'll keep you posted when we pick something!

hansbrea, you DID it...that's what matters! 12.6 mph over 16 miles isn't embarrassing - it's a good newbie pace. Now you have a benchmark for your next races :) I haven't raced yet because we're...

OMG how cool!

However, my 60 and 90+ lb dobermans (yes, one is decidedly oversized) would definitely NOT fit in such a thing.

Maybe I can train the big one to pedal tandem?

We're about to go on our first vacation in 2 years...maybe even 3 years, because DH and I have been so stinking busy. The kids (ages 9, 11 and 16), surprisingly, who are biking up to 20 miles per day...

Lesson learned! Wear bright undies while shorts shopping!!

I think I will write to Cannondale, since it seems hardly fair that I can't return them, and maybe let the LBS know...

I hate to think...

Just wanted to say congrats to both of you, BikeWriter and Velocivixen! I hope to be there when my first year is up!

Yea, unfortunately these are brand new. Of COURSE I took the tags off and wore them a few times without realizing the...*ahem* issue...so I'm pretty sure returning them is out of the question at my...

So, my family went on our latest bike trek on Saturday, and for the first time, my husband was behind me with the sun on my back. He said, and I quote, "I can see everything, including...

hansbrea - forgot to ask - how did your race go?

Okay, the achievement for this week actually belongs to my family. My two youngest kids (ages 9 and 11) and my husband and I went on a 22 mile ride, and they made it at an average of 8.9 mph! My...

You know, Muirenn, I'm not sure...I've never worried about my hydration in my adult life (I ran xc when I was a teen, and then have spent the majority of my adult life being a general slug after...

Thank you all for such helpful thoughts!

I had eaten about 2 hours before. I didn't weigh myself that morning, but my urine had been fine.



Yep - just muscle fatigue and overall...

I just went on an "easy" bike ride - 6 miles out, 6 miles back, but the heat index here is 105 and of course I went at noon (I was headed into the bike shop for an adjustment on the bike...and meant...

It so depends on the hill...but for a very steep climb I find that an upright position with my hands actually close to the stem (on either side) seems to be helpful. On longer slower climbs I've had...

I've had luck with looking at the ground with quick glances up to "see where I'm at". Then I find a spot and say (in my head) "All I have to do is make it to that sign"...then when I get to the sign,...

Hi all! *waving madly* I'm new and thought this was a perfect thread to say hi in!

I hadn't ridden a bike in 15 years before last year a friend convinced me to go on a ride with the See Jane Ride...
