I hope that the rider who was hit by the skateboard was okay.

It is so cool that vello bella put together a C only race. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to try it...I shouldn't pass up the...

I spectated, and it was a tough course compared to the other 2 races I have seen. However, I did think it looked like fun. It was interesting to see some people test whether it was faster to run...

4.7 is a good speed!

My toughest climb is only .4 mi. but goes from 371ft in elev. to 640ft. That's just about 12%. It's one of my routes home. I don't take that way home very often. ;)

Great costume! and congrats on winning the group prize. :)

Your dog looks like such a sweetheart.

We have a lot of hills here. I started riding regularly in April and could not ride all of the way up the final half mile to my house without stopping. It's an elevation gain of about 230 ft. and...

I'm sure you are very healthy and this doesn't apply to you, but someone else may happen upon this thread... salt craving can be indicative of addison's disease (a family friend was diagnosed).

Have you tried Amy's frozen meals? If I happen to eat pre-packaged frozen dinners, I like those because they are satisfying.

I got a little worried as I was about 3/4 of the way through your post. whew.. I'm glad that in the end you knew what your body could do and you were okay!

I think it is great that there was such a nice showing for the women. I was there on Sunday (mainly for the women's race and to cheer E2theD on. Lorri, I hope to introduce myself when I see you...

There is a post on the steep and cheap forum today saying that the SAC email function had been down and that they were unaware fo the problem until today. Supposedly all emails are being rerouted and...

What brand of bike does Kim ride?

Thanks for the rider's perspective!

I had fun as a spectator and plan to attend the race on 10/8 as well.

Sweet!

Is your's red with discs like the one in the picture?

Congratulations, you now are part of a tetrad. :)

I was going to suggest the same thing as bicyclette. Eat something hearty for lunch and eat a pb sandwich or something similar for dinner that doesn't have to be refrigerated.

I see you have a...

I'm itching to read E2the D's ride report for this race. ;) hint...hint

She might be pretty busy, so I thought I'd write about my experience as a newbie bike race spectator.

The day started at...

Part of my commute goes along a bike path in the park in my city. Early in the morning (before I get there) they have the sprinklers on. It is amazing how much even the thinnest film of water...

bluetree, what a good idea.

I found this website...

their googles are used my motorcyclists and mountain bikers.

Cassandra, I'm glad you're okay.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all of your kind words. :) I'm a little sore this morning, but my incident was nothing like a few of the accidents I've read about on the boards.

Fact of the matter was,...

I had my first bike accident today after over 800 city miles since April. I was nearly home from work and a man opened his car door right as I was there. I went over my handle bars... I was clipped...

Erin,

I'm going to try to make it out there and I'll cheer you on.

Being a newbie race attendee, is there anything I should know? Is there admission for spectators?

will any of you be in the vacaville race this weekend?

That looks like a lot of fun!

Congratulations to all three of you!

The NYtimes says frozen spinach is not implicated (right now)...
NY Times article

Another article I read said that cooked spinach should be heated to 160F to kill any bacteria, but right now they...

I'm a pretty novice seamstress as well. I made a couple of bike vests from kwik sew pattern 2615. Kwik sew seemed to be true to the measurements, I didn't have to adjust the pattern, and it is...
