Thanks, guys. I have to admit it was a huge bummer not being able to race this weekend. And then thinking of that gal whose life hasn't been affected one little bit! (She's getting sketchy about...

Yup, I'm aware. I do believe that the ER visit will register as an accident. I've gotten an accident follow up form from the insurance before, and I don't intend to lie to cover for her. (Though to...

Just got back from the hand guy. Just the one fracture, which would heal fine in the removable splint but I opted for a permanent cast so I can get back on the bike ASAP! Maybe even within a few days...

Believe me I was kicking myself the second the shock wore off. Please no one repeat my mistakes. Proper channels, police report, info from witnesses, the whole nine yards. No matter how grateful you...

I have full contact info and if things look complicated we'll pursue this further. At this point though it looks like a few hundred bucks to the bike and a triquetrum fracture that will have me back...

Yeah, so far we are being super nice, the driver is a grad student, she's apologetic but doesn't want to ding her insurance, so she's just going to pay me for bike damage and probably my copays for...

Sigh. Yesterday on my way to work I was trailing behind a little Honda when it pulled right and stopped. I continued forward but as I drew near the car the left turn signal came on. The car plowed...

What kind of lube do you use? I was overdoing the Tri-Flow so my husband told me to use about a one-second spray while spinning the cranks fast backward. Then wipe it off really, really well.

Also...

You're in Portland. :) I'm told that just after we left in 2002, a law was passed giving cyclists the right to treat all stop signs and I believe lights as Yield. That would make it perfectly legal...

Hopefully the photo here will help: http://www.mum.org/KeeperInsteadpic.htm

The Instead cup is soft and flexible, supposedly unnoticed by your partner. The Keeper and Diva are firm and have long...

It shouldn't be a problem with Instead, if you look at their site (http://www.softcup.com/) they are very soft and pliable. Sex with the other softcups is NOT advised! :eek:

mtnmunch, no you...

Alpenrose! :D

Oh, how I miss watching the track races there!

CONGRATS! Sounds like you learned a LOT and got some great placements as well! Glad you're safe after the crash!

It's so sad. :(

"Only" 3 sleeveless???

Sorry, I'm boggling here. :) I own two short sleeve and one sleeveless jersey, and I ride 5-6 times per week!

Maybe I'll just check out some of those recommendations!

"You are a Very Bad _______ and you should be Ashamed" is what I am training myself to say instead of cursing. The above tirade is much more family-friendly than the one I offered to the guy who...

I've practiced enough that yelling, "HEY!!" very deep and loud is second nature to me.

I recently recognized that I'm getting way too uptight about cars and drivers. I concentrated on being more...

You may need to mail order -- although I'm told these products are sold at some high-end health food grocery stores, I've never seen them on the shelf here in the US. Also, there are Canadian, US,...

Here's an update article.

My husband learned of the accident from old friends on Team Oregon. I didn't...

Last night my husband was sprinting at faster than 30 mph, had some kind of small equipment malfunction, went over the bars and hit the pavement. Thanks to his helmet, he had a small bruise on his...

The AP article reports that this is the first OBRA fatality since the 1980s. Crashes, yes. High-speed crashes, yes. (I'm pretty sure it was at PIR that another rider clipped my husband during the 30+...

Freak me out? No way, we've done that! :D Mmm. And here I thought it was an original invention. ;)

If I recall, Imperial is very high alcohol content, and comes in teeny tiny bottles: it's sort of a sippin' stout. For something more hearty and swiggable but also nice and dark and robust, try...

We do have a specialty beer and brewing supply store (Warehouse Beverage) that carries all our favorites, including Rogue and Deschutes, and we stock up when DH goes for brewing ingredients. :)

Obsidian is one of my favorites, and an essential part of all trips home to the west.

I work 8:30 to 5 M-F. I commute by bike (just 10 minutes there/13 minutes back). I'm home by 5:20, I walk my dog, change, and get back out the door by 5:45 to 6pm. I either meet the Tues/Thurs group...
