Twice. Once the first time clipping in. Landed on my poor mother's foot and broke her toe with my elbow. The second time was a year later and I had no excuse. I wasn't paying attention and looked...

What kind of shoes/cleats do you have? If you have mountain or touring shoes, you really don't need cleat covers. The recessed sole protects the cleats. I use them because I have a road system and...

Managed 46 miles on Saturday and a total of 60 on Monday (though in 3 separate rides). Got slammed with a migraine 10 miles from home on Monday. Fortunately I carry Ibuprofen on my bike! That plus...

Check the brake pads for little bits of metal. I've had them get stuck in there occasionally and make horrible sounds (and beat up the rims a little). If you see anything wedged in, take a pair of...

Did a gently rolling 38 miles out into Lexington, Lincoln & Concord. Took it slow and enjoyed the weather. Then took my dad out for a Father's Day lunch and day in Boston.

Awesome!!

If you're looking for things other that cycling to do in Maine, I'd say white water rafting! There are a few great rivers in Maine. Kennebec and Penobscot being the more popular ones for rafting. ...

I have the Trek 1.1 WSD, which I don't believe they make anymore. The Lexa replaced it last year, and it is essentially the same bike. The Dolce is comparable to these bikes. I love my Trek. Even...

Thanks for sharing this. I will probably be there.

I get this all the time in my car. I guess a Civic coupe with a bike rack on the trunk makes me look "weak" to certain drivers of larger vehicles, so I get tail-gated often. Just yesterday I was...

I don't know anything about the Nuvaring, but I have heard that you shouldn't use an IUD unless you have given birth previously. Not sure why. I just switched to Yaz from another pill a few months...

Thanks, Catrin. Yes, my body's definitely having a hard time adjusting to the temp differences. It was 40 degrees two weeks ago. Today the forecast says 98! I do bring a sports drink with me when...

Congrats! Any pictures of the new ride?

Thanks, Owlie! That's really helpful. I wasn't sure if the leg cramp was related to not eating or if it was something else, but it seems like everything was related.

Crankin, was it that warm...

I know I only have myself to blame for the way tonight's ride went, but I'd like to hear about anyone else's past similar experiences. I did MANY things wrong today, but I'm trying to figure out if...

Congrats, Crankin!

Did you get one of the pink Wheelworks bottles at Redbones? I came home with one of those. Very excited about it. Probably too excited.

I feel your pain. We're going through the same thing right now with new downstairs neighbors. Sometimes I like to get up for early morning rides and put on my cycling shoes before breakfast so I...

30 miles commuting yesterday. Today was supposed to be a very slow 50, but my new neighbors (I live in a two-family "stackable" home) woke me up at 1am by ringing my doorbell repeatedly (I think...

Shall we bring this back for May?
370 miles. 12,637 feet.

We had hail stones the size of dimes coming down for a while before I left work (strange that you didn't have any down the street, Crankin!). I had to run outside to roll my car windows up (oops)...

Saw a gigantic mama snapping turtle crossing the road on Saturday. Then another one yesterday!

What kind of pedals/cleats are you using? I used to get a lot of foot numbness (aka hotfoot) when I was using SPDs. I switched to Look earlier this season. They have a much larger cleat that helps...

In addition to the smoothie before and bagel afterwards, do you fuel during your ride? I think my body would completely shut down if that was all I ate for a 42-mile ride!

I don't envy you guys in the South! Last May I went to New Orleans for my first trip that was anywhere south of Connecticut. After that experience I really shouldn't complain about New England...

Mine started malfunctioning once when I put my iPod in a pocket on my jacket that was right on top of the HR transmitter. I'm guessing you don't ride with music in your ears, but do you carry any...
