Congratulations Regina! I know how you feel, I spent a bunch of $$ on my bike and accessories last month. But I wanted to ride it the next day, so I got everything I needed to make that...

Thanks ladies, your responses were alot more positive than I expected! I asked my LBS if they would put a bike together from this place and they seemed all for it, for a price of course. I figured...

Did you do it Oakleaf?!?!? I was going to go check it out but I got busy....The club that puts this ride on looks pretty cool, I may start participating in some of their training rides.

Thanks Ladies!! Nancy I ride a Fuji Finest 2.0, a 2009 model that I just purchased about a month ago. It's my first road bike, quite a step up from my cheapie mountain bike!

Hey Marni, I like...

Wow, that takes some courage to admit that, thank you for posting it and sharing it with us. I can't relate to the smoking but I struggle with my own demons as everyone does. Be patient with...

Hey y'all, I just wanted to crow. I rode 50 miles for the first time EVER in my life! Woo hoo!! And I did it in pretty decent time (for me, since I'm a beginner)...4 hrs and 15 min. which included...

Now everyone answer in unison, "Hi Liz!" lol!!!

Just got my first road bike about a month ago and I love it! I have posted in other threads about being overweight and have read other people's...

Thanks for the additional info Marcie but I think it's just muscle soreness. I'm riding farther and longer and I'm using clipless pedals for the first time. Seems like with the clipless pedals, I'm...

Also not wise to have some alcohol the evening before a long ride, or any ride for that matter. I had a glass of wine with dinner a couple of weeks ago, and got up for my long ride the next morning....

Schnitzle,
Guuurrrlllll you got the bug!! Woo hoo! I rode a mountain bike twenty some years ago when I was in college and then stopped riding. I asked my husband to buy me a bike last January...

Thank you Marni, that helps!!

Ok, so here's a follow up question.....is it better to ride more days (say 6) of shorter rides with one long ride on the weekends or ride 3 longer rides with one long ride on the weekend? Or does it...

So far so good for me although I was commenting in another thread about getting bored. I live in an urban area near the beach so I have to be careful about crazy drivers and my safety in general. I...

Thank you for your tips. I am looking at a few clubs in my area and I want to stay away from the ones that are "race-oriented." I'm going to check a few out and join their rides to see how I like...

Hello fellow cycling women! I bought my first road bike on 2/10/10, but before that, I was riding a mountain bike since last summer. I've been increasing my weekly mileage since I bought my new...

I see this thread has been going for awhile but thought I'd throw my two cents in. I just bought my road bike almost a month ago. I was wary of road bikes for so long because I tried a friend's...
