I'm envious of you gals, as I've visited the Seattle area a couple of times and have some really nice photos of Point Defiance Park. You had some great scenery, that's for sure!

Count me in for a mini-van vote! Stays dry, clean and I don't have to worry about theft. The bike rack sits in the garage, gathering dust. We use it when hauling more than 2 bikes. I can get two...

For me it's spinning. I did 3-4 classes last year all winter and it really helped me stay in biking shape. This year however I've committed to teaching the class at 5:45 a.m. (I'm nuts) so I don't...

I have a handle bar bag that is fairly large, has the plastic in the flap to put maps in and I used it last year on RAGBRAI and did not use it this year and actually have found that I prefer riding...

I was reading the thread about the cost of bikes, components and the fact that we name our beloved rides, which leaves me to ask the question - where do you keep your bike?

In the garage? In...

We always thought about a tandem, that is until we rode together this summer! There is no way we'd survive!

Gotta have my own bike to do my own thing!


More truth in that than you know! ...

My husband has never given me a hard time about riding, he's been very supportive. He's never said too much about my long weekend rides (I try to do them in the mornings so the rest of the day is...

I wear contacts and very rarely have issues with eyes drying out. My sunglasses wrap around and keep most of the wind out, couldn't ride without 'em!

Addias makes a prescription sunglass made...

That hill (if I'm thinking of the right one) had a bit of a curve to it, and was wide enough for both bikes and cars - with all your illumination I can't imagine them not seeing you!

Thoughts and...

Thanks for all of your feedback, unfortunately this whole thread ended up being a moot point as when the jersey got here, it didn't fit and they were out of the other sizes! :( So I ended up...

I usually ride right after work, no time to go home and snack so I keep stuff at work and if I'm riding I'll have 1/2 bagel w/pb an hour before I get off work as a pre-ride snack. Or a power bar...

Yah, I figure if I ride "the tank" for a few days then when I get on my road bike for RAGBRAI, it'll feel like I'm floating through the 500 miles!:D

I had an interesting experience last night. I took my road bike to the LBS for a quick checkover before RAGBRAI next week and picked up my old Cdale hybrid that gotten a major tune up. Well, since...

I have one of the wrist Road ID's, my husband has the dog tag and I got my biking friend the ankle one for her birthday. All of us are happy with the ones that we have.

I found that my wrist ID...

Nothin there.

No, dang it! Had too much going on to get away for the entire weekend. Several other people from the bike club went and said it was a tough couple of days. Weather was better this year than last -...

I wasn't sure about this either. Personally I won't wear a team jersey unless I'm riding with the team, but he just likes the jersey.

I just didn't want to buy a $65 jersey and break some...

Ladies, my husband has started riding with me this year so we're getting him outfitted with gear and he's having a hard time finding jersey's that he likes. He's found one in Nashbar, but I think...

I've been riding for 10+ years and this year my husband will be going on a week-long bike trip with me. This is his first year of riding (other than to the park and around the block). During our...

I'm going to add an unusual request to my *wish list*. How about a lightly padded sports bra for us "small breasted" women! :o

There's nothing more frustrating than to put a sports bra on,...

Funny that this thread came along today. I have not had any lag in enthusiasm this year until last night. I just plain didn't want to ride. There was not one part of me that wanted to get on the...

Hey Gretchen! Great weekend mileage! I got in 95 myself - great weather here in the midwest over the weekend!



I was having the same issues with a pair of my thicker padded PI's and I've...

What a gorgeous bike! Woo Hoo! With that bike, you will not suffer any buyer's remorse!;)

Happy trails!

I have a question regarding bike sizing. When I bought my road bike last year, other than standing over the middle bar to make sure I had the right crotch clearance and sitting on it for reach, they...

Veronica - Thanks for the application info! I've ridden some long days and have never tried it - maybe that will save me from some uncomfortable moments - I'm trying it on the next long ride! Also...
