I'd have to bet on Contador ... although I'd really love to see Andy Schleck take the GC. Most of all I LOVE seeing Fabian in the yellow right now. Don't know why, but I'm crazy about that guy! :)

Congratulations on the new bike! You're gonna have a blast!

I started riding a little over two years ago on a Trek hybrid. It allowed me to start out on a bike that was comfortable for me. My...

I realize that VCR's are dinosaurs and we might be the only people who still have one, but ...

my husband tape's the live broadcast every morning and then we watch it in the evening, skipping all...

I skimmed this thread rather quickly, so forgive me if someone has always said this ...

What caught my eye is how many of your calories are consumed as liquid. That might also be part of why your...

I started cycling when I met my now-husband three years ago. He's an avid cyclist and I thought it might be something fun to do together. He said from the get-go that he did not expect me to ride...

Actually ... not family or school. When I was growing up, my parents worked with a non-profit organization trying to make the world a better place--kind of peace corps meets missionary meets...

Thank you everyone for affirming my hatred of the polka dot jersey. My husband and I joke about this all the time ... he actually likes the jersey ... and he's a pretty masculine guy! I think it's...

Hey, East Hill, thanks for the invitation, but I'm afraid it won't work this time around.

I'm going to a reunion that weekend (27-29), so will be pretty busy ... then on the 30th my husband and I...

Thanks, Eden! Summit Public House ounds like our place! I'll call and find out when they show the broadcasts, and chances are we'll be there at least one--if not two or three--nights while we're in...

We're staying downtown at the Holiday Inn Express. We won't have a car ... planning to do everything we can on foot, and take cabs or public transit when we need to. If I'd thought about the...

I posted this on the Pacific Northwest forum (or whatever it's called) but thought I'd post it here as well, so I might get more input.

My husband and I will be on vacation in Seattle at the end...

Okay, this is kind of a weird question for this forum, but ...
My husband and I will be on vacation in Seattle at the end of the month and we're hoping to find a sports bar or someplace where we can...

One somewhat related response, one cycling story involving deer ...

A landscaper we spoke to said the best way to deter the deer is the "mark" the territory yourself. He suggested my husband...

It's interesting that it is often hardest to have tough conversations with the people we're closest to, even they "should" be the easiest to talk to. There's such a desire not to hurt feelings, etc....

Thanks for all the great feedback, everyone! I'm ordering my Astrale 8 tonight!

I could swear that I just recently read on this forum that cycling shorts should NOT be air dried. I couldn't figure out why ... thought maybe it's because of the stiffness that sometimes results...

Thanks Bikerz! Now I'm sold. I looked at a comparison chart of several computers and it implied that the Astrale did not have trip distance or time. But if it does, I'm taking the leap. Can't...

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. However, I just realized that the Astrale doesn't include trip distance or trip time, which I think I'd really miss. Hmmm. Now I'm not sure what to do. Any...

Forgive me if I'm covering territory that's been covered before. I searched the forum and althought I found LOTS of very helpful info, I didn't find the answer to my specific question.

I'm...

Thanks LBTC & caligurl for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them out. My husband won't splurge for these things himself, but I know he'd love one if he had it.

I am a newbie, but my husband is an avid, experienced cyclist. I'm thinking about getting him a good cycling "gadget" for his bday. I'm thinking about a heart rate monitor that also has GPS and...

Thanks for all the info, folks! I feel like I can at least get a reasonable estimate now. Appreciate the help!

I am now a yearling cyclist. I started riding in the spring last year but only rode about once a week for 10-12 miles. This year I've decided to switch my major form of physical activity from...

I'm so glad to hear you were not more severely injured ... although a fracture is nothing to sneeze at.

I am about the least jaded and cynical person I know ... I believe that people are basically...

Uh oh! Looks like they're on at the same time. And both too late for me to stay up for. Which one will I tape?!? Decisions, decisions. :)
