Sounds bad in the Ramona area where my friend lives. Just talked to her and she is safe along with her 2 horses, dog and cats.

60 MPH going on -- how do you stop a fire with that kind of wind?

I have a problem with weight gathering around my stomach area also. I am 54 and always have been thin, but my belly right now is hard to lose. I think it is an age thing -- not so much a permanent...

Hi Joyfulgirl
Do the century!!!

I had not ridden much for a few years, but could always jump on a bike and do 10 or 20 miles. When I decided to get back into cycling -- a friend convinced me...

Anyone want to meet and do a ride on the WOD on Saturday or Sunday??

I am wondering where this flattest century ride on the east coast is being held? What is the name of it and does it have a website?

I am always ready to come to a complete stop at a stop sign if necessary, but if all is clear I just roll through it.

It will help when changing gears on a hill to:
1) anticipate the hill and drop to the smallest sprocket on your front sprocket before hitting the hill.

Go for it! You'll hook up with someone to ride with. I did do a fairly new (second year for it) century ride last year -- less than 1000 people participated and I did ride alone a lot. The larger...

I too plan to ride into my 70s!!!!!!!!! The century rides are inspirational seeing the older people riding them! I saw an 80 yr old couple on one -- and we were all at the 80 mile mark!

I'm over 40. Always rode -- 20-30 miles since my 20s but now I am doing centuries. You only get better as you get older :)
Ok, I will tell me age 51. :D :D

i was reading the info on cleaning our bikes. The Pledge idea is a new for one. I will try it!
