I am planning on doing the Seagull this year. We haven't decided which ride we want to do, but I have ridden the roads around and to Assateague Island. There is some wind, but it is not unbearable....

Thanks, it ended up being kinda fun.

The 5 inches of rain put a damper on the festivities. The "gran" 108 miler was cancelled due to flooding on some of the course roads.

After about 10 miles, I realized that my highly neglected rear...

I have a Lemond Revolution trainer. http://www.lemondfitness.com/product_detail/465/lemond-revolution

I like that it feels like the road, connects to my drivetrain and doesn't wear tires...

Saturday was rainy, so just a short 15 miles around town. Yesterday we did 70 miles in intermittent rain showers. Last long ride before the Philly Gran Fondo.

Eden - this guy was definitely a wack-o. I told him to have a nice day before carrying on.

Nice to see some ex-burghers on here. As a current resident, I am required to inform you that you are...

If the guy comes back, tell him calmly that the police already came by and indicated that you and your children have the right to ride your bikes in the street. If you feel at all threatened, I...

Just wandering if anyone else from the forum is going to do the Philly Gran Fondo. I am planning to do the 108 mile option and have been signed up for a while. It would be great to see/ride with some...

Hey Blue Angel...I think that riding with headphones seems like a pretty bad idea. A cyclist was killed nearby on Friday. She was listing to headphones (and not wearing a helmet). ...

The BF and I did 24 fast miles on Friday before work and 65 miles with 7000 feet of climbing on Saturday. Both were great. My only complaint is that PA thinks that oil and chips are the best way to...

I did 22 miles on Friday and 55 on Saturday. It was brutal out there - hot and humid. Nothing spectacular about either ride.

Well, you are right...my name is not Maggie. She is the big sister whose shadow I lived under in high school. Its a convenient interwebs handle.

My name is Bridget.

I agree. Take the rest that your body is telling you that you need. You won't lose as much fitness as you think and it will come back quickly.

Yesterday's ride was great. I was a little more cautious at first, but after a few miles fell into my old rhythm. I was more apt to take a lane when needed and even rode through the same...

Thanks for all the back up today. I am a little apprehensive as the end of the day at the office and ride time near. If I don't get on the bike today, I won't get on the bike tomorrow...

I know...

I didn't get a chance to really scold her since she sped off as soon as I was clear of her car. I don't think that she had any clue that she was in the wrong.

I was finishing the last mile of my Tuesday night hill ride, on a street with a bike lane, when I came within five inches of my second car into bike crash. I was riding downhill toward an...

I second the sentiment.

I had a professional bike fit done at the local medical center's sports medicine cycling performance lab. Pretty much everything needed adjusting, down to the three shims...

Hey all, I live in Pittsburgh and have only ever ridden with boys or alone and was wondering if there are any women around that would be interested in riding.

I am a roadie, about 15 mph average....

I rode Friday (16 miles), Saturday (42 miles) and Sunday (14 miles). Good rides, even Saturday when I got dropped by the boys. Seems silly to complain about averaging 16 mph in the western PA hills...

I always wear my road ID and recently tossed by insurance card in the seat bag. My boyfriend who is on about 90% of the rides that I do, is the contact person on my ID. I also have a close friend...

Thanks for the recipe. These seems so easy and delicious.

I have eliminated most of the issue by simply eating more prior to rides and drinking/eating more often during longer rides.

Thanks.

It may be that I am just not eating enough, both pre-ride and during the rides. I have a tendency to get home from the office and head out for a ride with one water bottle. I generally don't think...

Hello all,

I am new to the forum, so by way of introduction I am a relatively new cyclist. I bought my bike in late '09 and last season was my first full summer of riding. I did my first century...
