Everyone's favorite cycling hero, Lance Armstrong, won on Alpe D'huez exerting a total force of 25kg between both legs while en route to his win on that stage.

This is the TdF, the ultimate prize...

Anger management? Instead of just engaging in a charming bit of ad hominem against me, why don't you address what I actually said?

Show me, and everyone else who is reading this, how cycling...

The only way to NOT be doing strength and endurance training at the same time is if you completely EXCLUDE one or the other. So yes, if the choice is to sit on the couch all winter or lift weights,...

I posted references from the article mentioned above a while back ago during yet another weight lifting thread.

For people who are low fitness, then basically any form of exercise, including...

Yeap, what Jennifer said :)

Huh? and a picture? What part of my statement is unclear?

Strength is defined as the ability to apply maximal force. Endurance cyclists are no stronger (not able to apply any higher maximal...

Fine, fine, I'll fess up.

I never tire of Grace Slick, you know from Jefferson Airplane.

Especially, 'White Rabbit', 'Pretty As You Feel', and of course, 'Somebody to Love'.

I may, possibly,...

lol - this thread is hilarious :D

jllmom - fair enough, if it is muscle definition and getting rid of fat that you are after, then riding your bike is the way to go. Much as most of us would love it to be true, spot reduction is...

jllmom - can you be more specific about what you mean in saying 'muscle tone'? It is one of those terms you hear a lot but in of itself, it doesn't mean much.

Cycling will not make your legs...

Hmmm, I have C-Mac's phone number and have been to her house before.

Has She responded to any of your messages?

KSH - gorgeous bike, great pictures, good for you!

Now of course, you have to get all the matching black/yellow accessories....:D

Thank you for all the encouraging and helpful comments, so nice to see and read :)

SJCzar - that is a fabulous suggestion about the padded shorts. After you mentioned it, I thought, darn why...

No actually.

We used to sometimes ride home on the same route, chit chat, etc. Haven't seen her around outside there either. Though it is dark now by the time I leave work, so she's probably...

Responses whether long-winded, short-winded, middle-aged, or whatever, are welcome :)

A helmet and wrist guards sound fairly simple and obvious ways to give yourself at least some protection....

Sugoi Flex Shorts - great.

Another pair though, which I have really, really like, both for color (another thing I fancy) and comfort....the Louis Garneau power shorts. Yeap, they are expensive,...

Kimmy - thank you!

Good to hear about things from your angle. One I really can't say I have, since I have so, so little experience with skiing.

What you said about injuries, saw that mentioned...

Hi Colby :)

I was definitely planning on taking lessons. Oh, and, also, spending a lot of time on my backside for the first few days

It really looks like a blast and I just thought, what have...

Hey, so while I'm still riding regularly (outside & inside), I wanted to have a go at something new when I'm off the bike.

Enter snowboarding!

I went skiing for a day, some years ago, however...

For someone who is really, really cold-natured and from the tropics, I've surprised myself these past few weeks. Mainly by doing far better than ever before at riding in some genuine cold weather.

Hey that's my town :)

So if Indy is willing to bribe me, (with something like a TE coupon! j/k! :D ), then I'll go talk to Jeremy myself and put in a good word. :)

Um, GO AWAY!






I'm joking :)

You are quite right to feel upset with the situation. A smaller shop is probably not going to be competitive in the price department with the chains or...

Yeap, even some of us that are relatively young (does 30's still count as young? :) ) benefit from these same remedies. The estrogen cream, cranberry juice, a good saddle, and proper bike fit will...

Thanks :)

All the TE women I've spoken with have been top-notch. They really know the products and offer genuine help.

It was more, well, you know, just wishing I'd put off the order till...

I placed an order from TE yesterday for over $200 - hooray for absolutely essential, irreplacable, bike necessities (e.g...a bunch of cute jerseys). :D

Then the 10% coupon comes out today! :(
