Thinking of you and yours, Mimi. So sad to hear of what you are all going through.

What Crankin said - The seat on the bike is quite low, so she can easily put her feet down, stand up, whatever. No need for training wheels - her feet keep her upright. At first, she'd put one foot...

Hi all,

I haven't been around much for a while, but had to share. My 3 year old daughter just got her first bike - a balance bike - last month. I was getting ready to head out on a ride, and she...

The heat index was in the 120's here (130 in Moorhead) yesterday. It has been beastly. The only time I stepped out was to get the mail. No riding, no way!

Today it's only supposed to be 85 or...

I have a friend like that. We got each other through struggles in college, were really like sisters. Then we got jobs, started our lives, and drifted apart. And it is a little weird when we see...

Have you read Kids are Worth It? (Barbara Coloroso) Totally shifted my perspective on control, power, etc...I found it totally uplifting and grounding. Might want to try that one in addition to...

Jumping in-

We have them in Minneapolis. The drivers help load them for you.

Not to digress, but I know there is also a voucher program available - so if you bike to work and get rained out,...

I got to ride the Tuesday ride this year - it was the most fun I've ever had on a bike! Would love to see some TE gals next year. Woo hoo!

P.S...the food? EXCELLENT

Hey! I'll be there for Tuesday, Algona to Clear Lake. Wish I could ride the whole thing, but family obligations, blah blah blah! I'll be in a red Smartwool Jersey, white helmet! See you there!

Congratulations! It feels good, eh? :)

Migraines are horrible things. I had them at least monthly for several years while teaching at a high school. They would start very tricky - like a sore jaw, and if I didn't catch it early, forget...

Hey all,

I'm only riding the Tuesday ride from Algona to Clear Lake. Just wondering who else might be riding!

Yep, the length is the big thing with me. I have the hardest time finding enough length in shirts in general, so I'm going to keep my eyes open for more of the SW jerseys. I haven't had that...

I believe I am on the way to converting...I found two Smartwool Ewetopia jerseys at Nordstrom Rack a few weeks ago for $35 each...snatched 'em up because hey...can't even find cheap regular jerseys...

I thought they ran big...I got my jersey three years ago, though. I had to exchange a large for a medium, and that still feels relaxed.

Their t-shirts, on the other hand, run very small!
...

I love it! I've never really seen a mixte that color! Cool!

I am so excited!

As someone who struggles with meeting new people, I am having a blast with a new riding partner. When I started riding a couple years ago, I rode almost 100% alone, which I...

Awesome! What kind of apples did you use?

(signing off as the 2008 MN State Fair Blue Ribbon winner for the apple pie lot...ahem...not that I'm proud of it or anything...)

Hi!

I started with a Giant Hybrid, too! Welcome to the dark side! :)

I just wanted to pop in and say give it time. A road bike definitely handles differently than a hybrid or a mtn bike. It...

I love it!

Here's a cool one we have in Uptown, near Bryant Lake Bowl.

Here we go! I hope this helps folks find info about bikes more efficiently.

Anyone need info about a 1972 Schwinn Suburban? Anyone? Bueller? :)

I just finished Jane Austen's Persuasion. Hadn't read any Jane since college; enjoyed it!

Not to start an attack on huskies in general, but a local family (similar to this one) recently lost their newborn when their husky attacked it in its crib. I know, it's not the breed, but ugh... ...

I have a Palm Pixi, and I love it. I just made the switch to a smartphone and it makes things so convenient! GPS, email, my calendar, everything. It was quite inexpensive (as an upgrade through...

About 20 miles with a new riding buddy! It cracked 90 here today and was super humid, but we kicked up enough breeze for it to feel quite comfortable. Hoping to ride with her more in the upcoming...
