    I'm one of those peole who just doesn't look great with long hair.

    I grew it to my shoulders for my wedding (threatened to cut it off at least once a week). My usual length is a chin-length bob, but this summer I cut it into a pixie and I love it, I might never grow it out again.

    For working out I either use a barette to hold the bangs portion back off my face or just tie a bandana around my head. I sweat a lot and having my hair short is preferable for me to having a sweaty ponytail up against the back of my head/neck.

    It's Detours Bag. I bought it at REI. Jeff has a larger one. The clamps are the same, so they are interchangeable on our bikes.

    I don't typically use such a large seat bag, but that picture was taken on a recent weeklong bike trip. I like having a slightly larger bag such as that for a bike trip, so I can carry a vest or armwarmers, and extra tube and more food than I'd normally carry (since we were way out in the boonies.)

    I'm fairly impressed with the construction. The only drawback is that I don't think they will work well unless you have 4-6 inches or more of seatpost showing. You need the bag up high enough that it won't slump into your rear tire when going over bumps or when heavily loaded.

    short hair and often under a hat:

    That's me with the orange hat and Knott to my right.

    I used to have long hair, cut it short in college. Once in a while I get too busy to keep it shorn.

    Is it just me or are there a LOT of redheads in that picture?

    Is that Rosie The Riveter jersey really that short?

    Nice pic. Wish I had cycling friends IRL. :-/

    I just discovered they aren't meant for carbon seatposts either. Rats.

    Is Knot really tall or are the rest of you just vertically challenged?

    I dye my hair since I started finding grey at 19! It is a darker golden blond and prettier than my natural ash blonde. I am 26 and people other than my hairdresser have noticed in the grey in the last couple years. With my fair skin I think it would look terrible if I let it take over. My father is handsome with his full head of silver and tanner skin.

    I have very fair skin and my silver looks great mixed in with my natural medium ash blonde hair. Skip any eye makeup and just wear a barely-there touch of lipstick and rouge, and it looks wonderful! Go with your fair complexion and make the most of it.

    Aw, thanks.

    I'm in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas. I am planning on getting some cycling things going, but I also am president of the youth baseball league and that takes up most of my time. I did manage to talk to the city parks and rec director today about possible cycling things. There's also a group trying to get a RAGBRAI-like ride across Arkansas and I hope to get involved in that, too.

    I'm about to post about my ride on the Katy Trail! I'll just ride by myself if I can't find anyone else to go!

    Before I was into fitness, my hair was medium to long. Then I lost a bunch of weight and I had it cut short. Before the weight loss I wouldn't be caught dead with it short.

    Not only is short hair great for running, biking, and fixing it quickly, it makes me look younger. I found that the longer hair "pulled down" my face.

    Baby fine. Stick straight. And *frizzy*. Will be stuck flat to my head no matter what I do in terms of length or styling products. I've also got a very round face, and I hate having hair in my face. So I keep it long, with no bangs. I don't let blow driers touch it because if I do it gets even nastier to deal with.

    Braids, buns, ponytails, french twists... all kinds of "up" look good on me where short doesn't.

    Warning: thread hijack

    You might check with your LBS--they might know some other women who are riding alone and want a riding buddy. Or maybe they'd let you post a flyer there. That's how my little club got started--by people finding each other at the LBS.

    I ADORE the Katy Trail--I'll be watching for your report.

    Hijack over.

    Knott is 5'8" I'm 5"1" so yes, a bit of a short crowd.

    I think gray hair looks cool. I just got my hair cut and mine stands out more when it's short.
