Yikes! Cross off Denver, but don't nix Colorado. I live in Boulder and lovelovelove riding along the front range of the Rockies. The air quality up here is great -- used to have year-round allergies...

Thanks for the well wishes! Road rash healing nicely. Bruises getting really nice color. Growing brain matter.

On another note -- a year after being told by an orthopaedic surgeon that I had NO...

Got one after my previous crash, where I flew off my bicycle into the middle of an intersection, bounced off my head and rolled a couple of times. The paramedics asked if they could keep my broken...

... me, that is. Had my first crash in about 4,000 miles yesterday, and it was one of those sheer-stupidity-bordering-on-insanity moves. I was 35 miles into a 45-mile ride, had hit a two-lane parkway...

Hey Caligirl, I'm so sorry for your loss. And I know how you feel. About a month and a half ago, I came back from vacation (had a friend housesitting the dog and two cats) and opened the door to find...

I've been sort of off for two months or so .. just a couple of rides, no gym workouts. I think I needed a break, as I did several centuries, a week-long tour of the rockies and a killer called the...

luv when the whole fam is into the cycling scene. Tell your little cyclist those are some cool shades...

congrats, clipless wonder! They do make a huge difference, I think. And it's considered a time-honored rite of passage to do the I-forgot-to-unclip-slo-mo-crash at the intersection. A friend of mine...

Thanks for the sweet notes. I can't tell you what a blessing these two are. ..
A friend of mine ended her life this weekend, leaving a daughter without a mother and a whole bunch of us grieving anf...

This is the only place where women can coo over the birth of a mountain bike... can't wait to see her when she's ready to start wailing...

I'm sorry for your loss, wabisabi -- it was one of the most heartbreaking things to do, making the decision to let go. But I hope you let that shelter pull you in! Your dog needs another companion --...

thanks lateX2. The names? Mocha and Java. Well, javabean. Or bean for short. Or beanie. Or little s*** when she pees in my shoes

There's a Norwegian expression that translated means, "a well-loved...

I run across a lot of semis-drivers who like to terrorize cyclists, it seems. I had one guy in an 18-wheeler almost nick me when he passed, at the same time hitting his horn. Almost went off the...

already adopted them, Trek! They're great with each other -- they wrestle with each other, fight over cool toys and fall asleep curled up together. The older, 4-month old was probably abused --...

congrats to you! And in the wind, no less! I see a metric century in your not-so-distant future....

oh, goldens are great! That setup would stop traffic -- plus the idea of pulling 200-plus pounds behind me... yikes. They must be a lot of fun, though!

My family told me to wait and "grieve" properly for Niki, but I just didn't see the sense in that when there were so many dogs, both from the hurricane and in general, that needed homes. It was...

allez, sending good healing mojo your way. ...

I'm also sending your story to a couple of idiot-but-well-loved friends who still refuse to wear helmets when they ride (they do the racing cap...

thanks for the aawwwws. They are two sweet little monsters, and can't wait till they're big enough for some hikes in the Rockies! I've thought about a bike trailer -- the one for kids, but sticking...

... but I can't help myself. I wanna show off my babies.
My sweet old girl Niki -- 14 year-old lab/shep mix -- left me several weeks back after developing cancer. Life has been so strange without...

doctorfrau, sounds like you had a good time, and that's really all that matters, actually. If the guy didn't, he's braindead. That sounds like the perfect date to me!

Funny, I started cycling with...

Come to Boulder! Don't seem to have that problem here...

ow ow ow ow OW!
