Dear Little Cat,

Is there some sort of logical explanation for the way you eat? It doesn't even have to be human logic really; feline logic will suffice.

In the 15 months that we've owned you,...

Ditto. For me, the magic number is usually around 140 miles, but I've had it occur as early as 80. At that point I'm no longer hungry, absolutely nothing looks enticing, and most food appears...

I have SPD pedals (505's, if I remember correctly) on my road bike, and I wear road shoes. Yes, it is possible... or at least it was when I last switched shoes. The shoes are Shimano R-085's,...

My daughter is a HUGE Terry Pratchett fan. Thanks for posting this!

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a recall of several models of Felt bikes.

Congrats to you!!! Hopefully 2011 will be filled with all sorts of new beginnings and positive experiences for you. Enjoy the ride!!!

I hate, hate, hate winter in central Indiana! :( (But then, I'm one of those people who isn't warm until it's 80 degrees outside.) I do, however, eagerly anticipate the ice-covered, grit-smothered...

Next stop: Greensboro, Indiana. Okay, so there's really not a lot to see in Greensboro. The post office is a mobile home (I'm not making this up), and the local church has had a sign up for months...

History lesson. Knightstown is located on the National Road, which was one of the first major improved highways built by the federal government. The project began in Cumberland, Maryland, in 1811,...

Maidei had a quiet Thanksgiving. So quiet, I forgot to take photos. We dined on homemade deep-dish pizza and fresh veggies, followed by mock pecan pie and chocolate-chip pie.

Travels around the...

You go, girl!!!

I don't do it, but my 12-year-old daughter, who's into all things crafty, has been begging me to order supplies so she can needle felt. You're right -- the creations are absolutely amazing!

DH and I completed RAIN (Ride Across INdiana) --one day, one way, 160 miles. Rode to the starting line, did the ride, turned around and headed back to Knightstown -- 201 miles. My first double, which...

All four of us have read the book -- loved it!!! It's the one title we recommend to anyone who expresses an interest in learning more about the subject. Without being overly technical and/or preachy,...

100 miles / 7,000 feet of climb. Except for the fact that it rained the first 30 miles, the sun never came out, and the temp never made it above 63 degrees, it was an AWESOME ride!

Been there, done that. Used it for toilet paper during a 22-mile training run. Had already used the TP I kept stashed in my hat -- the leaves were NOT a good substitute! Still had 10 miles to go, it...

HA! Oh sooooo true!

I'm one of those people who isn't warm until it's at least 80 degrees outside. I LIVE for 90 degrees!! Will take any opportunity I can get to be outside and sweat in the heat and humidity. :)


...

We have several courses we train on in the southern portion of east-central Indiana. The hills there will rival anything in the Bloomington area or Brown County -- we've ridden in both places, and...

90 miles, 90 degrees, 5100 feet of climb. Whoo! That's livin!!!

Oatmeal bread.

Peanut butter, pretzels, and sharp cheddar cheese -- together.

Dandelions

You betcha!

This will be my fourth one -- plan to tack on an extra 40 miles at the end to get in a double century in honor of my 50th birthday this summer.

Can't wait!
