I went clipless after a couple of years in toeclips. Nothing says you have to do it; if you want to try it, wait until you feel you're ready. Even after a year I still unclip waaaaaaaaaay before...

I just went clipless this year. I've fallen once (in 4 rides so far). I was in toe cages for about two years before I got the courage to do clipless.

You are a bit ahead already because the...

I've got the Kindle. I love it. My apartment is full to the brim with real books, and I can't bear to get rid of too many, so I thought I'd get the Kindle. Check out the online store(s) associated...

Sorry about your Morris. This post got my heart because my kitty is a gray tabby too. :(

I've had stuff shipped from the States and had to pay duty too. (I'm Canuck as well) Not every time, but sometimes. I always thought it depended on how much you paid for the goods themselves.

I wanted a longer distance saddle, and for me, the pain and ugly would set in at about 3 hours of riding, so I was happy when I managed to do 7 on a new saddle. Made it difficult and expensive to...

Awwww...you look so happy with the new bike! Have fun! :D:D:D

I LOVE the Enell. Wear it for everything: running, cycling, xcountry skiing, triathlon... No bouncing whatsoever! :cool: And no stabbing pains in the post-workout shower :eek:

Went skiing for the first time yesterday...we got a dump of snow this week.
No classic trails yet, but was still fun...and above 0 degrees (celsius) too. :cool:

Awww. That "Mrrt!" is my fave noise of all the noises kitties make. :D

Thanks all! It's a pretty cheep light of unknown origin, meaning there's no obvious brand name on it and I can't remember what it is. :p It's really a stopgap measure for just the last little bit...

Just about any color scheme is fine with me if the components are right and there are no weird large curlycues or patterns, like that polka dot one. :p

It's getting darker earlier now, and every time I turn on my front bike light, my wireless comp stops working. Am I nuts, or is there a connection? The light is on the right side of the handlebar,...

The more the better. I do well on 8-9 hours, but I don't always get that, so I steal afternoon naps after work or crash on the weekends as some have said.

Well, after a year in my bike club, I can finally keep up with the 60-something men. :p:D (I'm 43 and new to cycling).

I wear a pair of running shoes with toe clips, and I am fine. They are running shoes that are on the stiff side, though--a runner's motion control shoe that is out of cushioning. I have ridden up...

Yay! Glad you did the second one! Aren't volunteers great? I couldn't keep going without them some days! :cool:

Thanks all. :D I will try and remember not to be so hypercritical of myself.:o

I've worn the Sheebeest Ultra D's on a century, and they were extremely comfortable. No issues at all. But to each her own.

Just a note to add that the conventional formulas don't work for everybody. The highest I've seen my hr is 198 at the end of an 8k race when I was really pushing it. That was some years ago. I...

I've done this tri before. It's my favourite. It's an all women's tri, very well organized, and there are women of all kinds of sizes doing it. There was even a grandmother/daughter/grandaughter...

Guilty as charged. I used that expression once in a post. What's weird is that I hardly ever use it in real life. :o

My peeve: defiantly instead of definitely.

Aww, don't be upset. I do exactly the same thing, though. :o. Not every tri has to be the ultimate chance to race...you're supposed to be having fun out there! Some are to race, some are to learn.

Just an update. Thanks again! You're right that I was confusing the issues a bit. It's just that I was so successful with weight loss on a lower sugar diet that I was skeered I'd screw it up. And...

Another vote for this saddle. I just finished a century on it, and it did not aggravate the saddle sores I had from trying other saddles :eek:, nor did it create any new problems. For me, it has a...
