I had posts back on pages 6 and 9. Came back after years away and found this. It has got to be some kind of record.

holy crap - i can't believe thread drift is still going.

Three.

Ruby Comp - might be looking to sell. Shoulder issues result in pain when I ride -more bike than I really need
Bianchi Cameleonte Quatro Dama - just ordered haven't even ridden it yet -...

I did it. I forced myself out the door and I did it. 6.68 miles on a multi-use trail. Managed not to fall. Although i did hit a small steep up hill at the entrance to the trail in too high of a...

As you can see by post count/join date, I was a member here long ago. I mostly have a road bike for triathlons, although my last one was 4 years ago. I ride my hybrid a lot but have been looking at...

Eden, like you, I am going by what I know. The bike lanes you describe, with broken pavement, lots of debris, cars parked right along side and major hills, I can understand your not using them. I...

Yes, I would condemn him. The town south of me did a massive road reconstruction about 2 years ago. They dug down to gravel, re-leveled, did all the sewers, etc and then built the road back up. ...

Honestly, chalk this up to reasons motorists dislike cyclists.

you will learn that the answer at TE is always 'both'.

I have a hybrid that I like for riding with my kids, going to the farmers market, running around town, etc. For workout rides and tris I...

wow, that is a beauty!

This may be an unpopular opinion here, but I don't feel that hard core cyclists/triathletes belong on MUT at peak recreational hours. I ride on our local trails early in the morning and there are...

my road bike has Look pedals and my hybrid has campus pedals (flat on one side, spd on the other). If I am using the hybrid for training and back when I used to pull my daughter in a burley, I use...

Yes, we have done rides around home and on local trails. Our longest has been about 8 miles. The tour is set up that the kids do 10-12 miles with the group and then go off and have kids activities...

In June my family and I are going on a cycling trip in France with Backroads. I will probably have my 8-year-old on a trailer bike, as she is the youngest kid on the trip by about 2.5 years and...

Current races on my calendar:


Nov 6, 2010: Chicago Hot Chocolate 15K
Jan 8, 2011: Disney Half Marathon
July, 2011: Sprint - not sure if I will do the Kenosha Danskin or something else...

Congrats on your first oly! You did great.

that's more how I feel when I run.

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you are getting things under control. Be aware that coumadin might make you a bit tired too - not as much as Lovenox, but still, it can affect some people that...

I think it is important to remember that a spin class is not a cycling class. Too often I hear cyclist slam a spin class because, 'you would never really do that on your bike'. Sure, that's true. ...

I am so sorry to hear that you are dealing with this. DH has been on coumadin in the past due to a PE. You are right, it is not a fun drug. On the positive side, after a few months it becomes your...

Jen, I learned the lesson the hard way when I did the international a few years back. I hate that they count the run out in you swim time - makes me seem slower than I am. Congrats on doing the...

you did great! congrats, and welcome to the world of tris

I wrote this update for some friends who aren't triathletes, so excuse some of the obvious explanations of things.



My alarm went off at 3:50 am yesterday. Time to get up and get on the road...

congratulations, have a wonderful time.

great report and that new bike is a beauty.
