I was the new person with the brakes rubbing and I could have written your post. In my limited experience I really do think that sounds like what you're experiencing!

Gosh I really want to do this! I just can't commit in advance - well, glad it is the kind of thing where you can register the day of. :) Thanks for posting the info though.

Wow thanks. I would not have pegged that as a warm weather shoe by looking at it so that is good to know. :)

Love love love the under armour "armour bra." I have very bouncy ta-tas and they don't move at all when I jog in that bra. Plus it is very comfortable and non-binding. I don't like underwires.

I too, was pretty freaked out about what happened at the Bethesda store. (That is my closest store.) but my addiction got the best of me. Now I mainly try to stay away as I always walk out having...

L: 4 oz chicken, rice, green beans, big old salad and 1 tbsp. oil/vinegar

Did my second-ever half century on Saturday - the day after my boyfriend broke up with me! My average was 15.8 mph, which for me is better than usual.

I guess rejection is a good additional fuel...

OMFG does that look good. And you earned it!! :D

I am so sorry for your loss. And I cannot think of a better gift to yourself in the midst of grief. Nothing heals like being under the great open sky, watching the changing scenes go by as you pedal....

Last purchase - Velo Orange fenders :)
Next purchase - Brooks saddle!!

I have been riding clipless for only a month and I do not consider myself to be a super coordinated person. But I am telling you it really can get easy with determination. I do ride just about daily,...

I watch other cyclists climb out the saddle and they seem to be sort of gracefully "jogging" the bike side to side. When I try to do that, I feel like my weight is distributed properly but I just...

I am no nutrition expert, but I would think a nice meal of rice or potatoes, some kind of protein, lots of veggies, maybe a salad sprinkled with nuts and dried fruit, and fresh fruit would be great...

B: 1 cup lowfat yogurt, oatmeal, 1 apple
L: hamburger, roasted beets, baked sweet potato, salad with avocado and olive oil/vinegar
D: tuna, steamed kale, salad with avocado and olive oil/vinegar

Feeling so great! I am down from 148.7 to 143.5, just 10 lbs away from my goal.

I have cut out flour, sugar and alcohol and am weighing my food to ensure portion control. I am also not eating...

Thanks ladies - that helps me feel that I am on the right track :)

For all of you who use clipless pedals on your touring bike, what works for you?

I am trying to decide between the Shimano SPD pedals (M530) with and without (M520 or M540) the platforms.

On...

145.5 - down 3 lbs which is great. I really should be between 130-133 though...

I am so excited about this beauty that I scored on CL today!! It is a 2009 and 50cm size with the 26 inch wheels. I am just giddy over the moon at this find. I intend to use it for some long tours of...

What rides do you have planned coming up this summer - fall? I am going to do a Potomac Pedalers 61 mile ride this weekend and the Air Force Cycling Classic Crystal Ride this June. I'm not sure...

I'm on a sugar and flour detox - ugh!

Day 1 - but I know if I can keep at it in a week I'll feel spectacular.

B: 2 eggs, 1 oz oatmeal, 1 banana
L: 4 oz grilled chicken thigh, roasted beets,...

ny biker, I'm the one in Bethesda :)

As a total aside, not to hijack - I just spent the weekend in Bethany and rode Rt 1 to Ocean City, it's a 32 mile round trip. Going there was fine, but on the...

I am looking to get a pair of SPD cleats on my second bike and would like an SPD compatible shoe to keep my feet cool in the summer.

I saw the Keen commuter sandals, but would also appreciate any...

I really like the book Ride Your Way Lean by Selene Yeager.

I was surprised when she said you don't really need a post-ride snack if you are riding for less than 90 minutes. That advice has...

I am drooling over the Salsa Casseroll. It will be a perfect everyday adjunct to my racy bike, for everyday errands and touring! I like how you can run 700c x 38mm road tires for long trail rides :) ...
