Hey Ab...reading your delight in the Felt and your great job with racing and riding is there the dream of a new road bike to compound your new found ability? :D

Hi,
Wondered if anyone out there was planning on riding the MS150 this weekend (June 11-12) from GR to Holland?
I am heading out with my brother-in-law. We know it will be a long day (2)but...

Yeah Aramei, you were out there racing. I almost think the training is the hardest part because you can make excuses and quit. Once you show up for that race (and they almost always feel like your...

Thanks for the cheering everyone :p
Jones, those are some good ideas for marking my place in the transition. I will use one of them for my next Du. OMG did I really say that? I will start...

And you thought the streets of NYC were dangerous. Hope you heal quickly and get back to cycling with renewed energy.

Hi all,
Did my first Duathlon yesterday. It was cold and windy so not very smooth transitions with clothes coming off and on. I started out last on the run and managed to maintain my position for...

So I'm not the only one checking for rubbing brakes or a flat. It's tough and you guys are tougher. At least the wind didn't change directions when you did which I am sure has happened to a lot of...

Sounds like you had an awesome time. That is great to have someone take you out and teach you the skills as you go.

I also work with my hands (massage therapist) so I think I will keep the gloves. My 1st race is Sunday May 1st. I picked up aero bars yesterday. I had some from years ago that I used on long rides...

Thanks for the info. It will depend on the weather then. Since I have Raynauds pretty bad I won't worry about other gloves and depend on my bike gloves.
Went out for my first fast group ride...

:confused: What do most athletes do about cycling gloves if the cycle portion is only 30K? I was messing around today with a practice transition and it had me wondering. Crazy huh!

Way to go Jobob. You sure must be proud.
Rough about your knee. What you might want to do...sit on the floor, relax your leg straight out in front of you and move the patella around. Chances are...

Thank you guys for the support.
I mailed the check yesterday. I am getting excited.
It is early in the season so if I am bit by the bug (highly likely) there will be several more races to see...

Hi all,
I just decided to do my first Duathlon in 2 wks. :eek: The check goes in the mail today before I allow myself to think.
I have been training for the 5/3 Riverbank Run (25K) May 13. Can't...

Hi,
I had that problem on my Basso. Made for some entertaining spills. :o !
Last year I bought an Airborne with 26" wheels (front and back). It fits wonderfully. I am 5'2 (I don't know what my...

Has there been much other than rain and wind in MI.
One thing to do when changing a flat is to run your fingers (carefully) around the interior of your tire.
I am about to leave MI for VA for...

Hi,
I use to commute to work when I lived in FL, you can't beat the feeling and clear head (although on bad days my boss teased me about inhaling too much exhaust fumes) that the ride creates.
...

You also may want to look up a medical massage therapist/clinical massage therapist. They will be able to work the muscles that are pulling and causing the achilles inflamation as well as do some...

I noticed Barb was training for the Michigander ride in July. Is anyone else thinking of riding all or part of it?
Is anyone from the Grand Rapids/Kalamazoo area training for summer rides and...

Congratulations.
I have often thought of doing a biathlon but my training always dies and then the race comes and goes. YOU DID DO IT!!
crash:p

Unfortunately mine is self expanatory. I have a reputation for tipping over at stop signs (even after using clip-in pedals for sometime), spreadeagling on pick-up trucks (no you're not at a...

Hi,
I just brought home my new Airborne W.A.S.P. titanium bike after an 18+ year love affair with my Basso. I am learning to appreciate all the changes with technology such as almost 8 lbs. on a...

I would be interested in the ride. Not sure about available time but let me know as you make plans and I can see what happens. I love the area up there!!!!

Crash

It is appropriate to take your turn at the front. It doesn't have to be for long but at least you showed your appreciation by taking your turn. However, if you are hanging on for dear life just let...

I have to agree with annie...road bike. I just have not aquired the skills to squeeze between the trees on the trails and huff and puff up the hills. I will admit when we are camping and I hit the...
