JENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta love a guy who will bury himself for his team leader, will struggle to win a race he should have lost, and rolls up to a start line on a bright green faux chopper...

I had not heard about what happened. It sounds horrible.

I am glad you got through and enjoyed the extra mileage! Good luck with this weekend, obviously you are ready!

If you can ride 70 miles you can ride 100! If you have figured out eating for 70 miles, you can figure it out for 100!

A couple of suggestions: 1) Ask the organizers if there are convienence...

My random contribution is: put a layer of Saran Wrap between the pad of your shoes and the clips. I have odor eaters in my shoes and put Saran Wrap under them and it made a huge difference. The...

I hate to be the one to say this. But it would be very difficult for a woman to keep up in the Tour de France. If you compare average speeds at women's races to men's there is a significant...

I had the same problem. To fix it I changed my pedal stroke a little bit. I found that pedal stroke made a huge difference. If I am actually pulling through the bottom and up on the back then my...

I have even less glamorous suggestions than previously stated.

My problem places: Face. I don't like wearing anything on my face unless absolutely necessary. It drives me a little batty. So...

My road bike's name is Precious.

My mountain bike is Bruno. My other mtn bike is named Pedro.

As one of the 5, I will say it was quite pleasant. Stella, since 10/5/02 did not work what do you think re: 10/12/02?
