Oh the joys of falling! I posted in August after my very first fall. Yes, I was at a stoplight, patiently waiting for the green...and then...I was on the ground! I remember thinking..."CRAP, I'm...

Hi everyone,

Surgery went very well yesterday and I am home tonight about 7:30 pm. First week is the hardest...that is true! Ankle hurts, toes are numb (circulation is great...warm and pink) and...

Wow!!! That sounds like it was quite a mend and painful! Glad you are healed and riding again! The no weight bearing for 6 weeks is gonna drive me NUTS! But, Physical Therapy while healing should...

Hi folks!

I went for my first ride today in my pedals and shoes. Yeah...I did not fall and had a great ride!!! :D I have read so much here on the site and felt I did my homework before finally...

I did it! After weeks practicing with my "imaginary" pedals...I finally had the LBS put them on. (Speedplay, Light Action). I rode today and it was WONDERFUL!! I am so glad I waited...read the...

yes, it was hot that day. I will admit that I may have not replaced electrolytes as I should have. Something I should pay more attention to! Thanks Oak

I have been concerned for the last week on th amount of edema/tightness I have been feeling in my legs. Last Sunday I rode 64 miles...my furthest ride with hills. It was a workout for me. This...

Hi,

interesting stuff, Knotted!! I was a long distance swimmer myself and always did much better than in the sprints. And...I enjoy being a masher...it is more comfortable than spinning.
I have a Ruby...

hello...are they still available?? thanks, Jean

WOW....what a great idea! I have been so hesitant to start clipless. I don't want to fall :( Yesterday, I rode 40 miles and my feet were numb so much of the trip. Hard to enjoy the country while...

Just bought my first road bike this week! Loving it!!

The mental/physical positive energy as I ride is great! OK...my tush hurts...
