    I did mention I had kept the pedals covers on for awhile when I was getting used to the clips but then I said "but don't put that in there, I'll sound like an idiot and besides I'm clipless now." They get you chatting about stuff and you say things you regret later. Thank goodness I hadn't had a couple of glasses of wine.

    For the record, my current shoes, shorts, jerseys and helmet all cost more than the ones they recommend.

    So I take it I'm not going to want to cut this out of the magazine and hang it on my classroom wall? My kids are so excited and were waiting to see it...

    KG - I'm impressed by you every day. But I'm NOT impressed by BUYcycling magazine.

    As a newbie (who's not looking for a carbon frame ...Yet), I find much better info here, and TE is much friendlier.

    It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

    I"m drowning in the shallowness of Bicycling magazine. Is a "makeover" all they think women are interested in?

    It wouldn't be so bad if they had been up front about it. Thanks so much for putting these up for us to see, but I am sad that they used personal victory stories to advertise products.

    Well they did say they were going to make recommendations to help us achieve our goals. I was kinda hoping it would lean more towards training suggestions.

    Little tiny portrait of each of you, models on the bikes. You all look waaay better than the models (sorry if the models are lurking).
