Barnabas, my Maltese mix watches TV. He will watch anything with animals, even animated animals. He will run in from the other room when he hears a commercial he recognizes and "likes" or if I say...

I have the 2008 Ruby Expert and absolutely love it. It's a great bike.

We made it all the way to Castle Rock on Saturday and finished on Sunday with just under 14 1/2 hours ride time total. I was very pleased for my first STP. It was perfect except for that heat. I'm...

I'm doing it to for the first time. Another 2-dayer. I went through a time a month or so ago when I was just dreading it and really resenting all the time it was taking to prepare. Now, I'm...

This morning's commute (just 6.5 miles) 8 rabbits.

A few months ago I saw a coyote again on my commute. It was just 6 feet off the trail! We were both a little startled, I was messing with my...

Good news. I went to the Dr today and he diagnosed it as an irritated IT band. He gave me a Rx (not sure I'll fill it unless the pain gets worse) and recommended some stretches but said cycling...

Thanks all! I went ahead and made an appt with a sports medicine doctor - I was surprised to be able to get in as soon as Thursday. I'll try some of the stretches in the meantime.

I really am...

Last Friday while playing 9 holes of golf (I'm not a golfer, I merely own clubs) my left hip really started bothering me. I was able to ignore it because the blisters on my heels from my new golf...

2008 Ruby Expert - Love it.

I didn't get to test ride the Madone. The local Trek dealer didn't have it in stock and I had to commit to purchase if they ordered it. I ended up with the Ruby Expert and love it -400 miles so...

I use the Slip from Slipstreamz [URL="http://www.slipstreamz.com/index.asp"] It holds the iPod earphone away from the ear. So you hear the music but can also hear what's going on around you. I have...

They've both been for rides in a handlebar basket and seemed to enjoy it but I can only take one at a time and that generally stresses out the one that is left behind. This trailer is a DoggyRide...

I've been feeling a little guilty over leaving my dogs at home while I ride so I decided to get a dog trailer. I just got it this weekend and just got it put together so we haven't made it out yet...

Silver,

I have the straightener on your link (in fact two - one at work for bike commute days and one at home) but I don't know that I would use it as a traditional straightener. I know it is...

So, I rode the Allay again today - just 26 miles and started to feel some discomfort around mile 20. I decided to pump to bladder full of more air and I could notice it becoming noticeably firmer...

Zen,

You'll love the FX - I have one too and it is a great commuter for me. I bought a Ruby this year and every time I get on her I feel like I'm cheating on my FX. I try to reassure both of...

LM,

I'll look for you on Sunday. If the weather clears up I'll definitely be there. I'll probably ride 'red' again - I like the smaller group.

BTW my real name is Jenny (don't know anyone...

This is definitely a hijack and TMI but...

Very rarely can I wear even a 5.5 and as for the kids sizes my feet are often too wide (picture Fred Flinstone's feet and you've got a good idea of...

Thanks for the info Kathi

I'm going to be in Denver for a conference April 12 - 17th and just found out the pre-conference class I was signed up for on the 12th -13th has been canceled. I'm trying to decide if I should...

I wear a size 5 and can usually fit in a size 36 cycling shoe. I don't spin so I don't know much about the 'spin' cycling shoes but I have a pair of Specialized road shoes and Shimano MTB shoes both...

I ordered one at the Seattle Bike Expo and rode on it the first time this last Saturday - 28 miles. The jury is actually still out for me. It definitely isn't any worse than the stock saddle my...

Lauraelmore,

I was on the ride Saturday too. Were you in the 'red' group? My friend was also questioned by one of the ride leaders about her empty panniers. Oh well.

It was a good ride and a...

Laura,

I too would encourage you to go. I'm a newbie and went on two Cascade club rides last year (Newcomers and one of the Brew Pub series) and found the rides to be true to their postings. It...

I love the SheBeest board shorts. They are really mountain bike shorts but my bike doesn't seem to care. The padded liner can be removed from the shorts (they also come in capris) and this time of...
