No riding Here!

[Crankin]

It does stink. I was set to go on a 45 mile ride today. Oh well. It's freezing out!!
Denise and I rode about 15.5 miles yesterday. It started raining right when we started, but it wasn't too bad. At least it's better than nothing. Tomorrow looks good, so another short, after work ride.

[spazzdog]

yeah... i was set for a 25 miler to a friends house to watch the tour de georgia on OLN.

I didn't ride due to weather and my friend had something come up.

no ride... no race.

oh well.

[CorsairMac]

so Spazz - do you wanna know who won???

[spazzdog]

no... i know who won. i "watched" it on the internet on the days it was happening. cyclenews had a real time verbal description going on...

so i didn't watch the race, but i did read it.

So Hubby and I rode part of the Hopkinton Ramble on Saturday. When we started it was just overcast but we ended up doing 25 miles in the drizzle and cold. I was beat. I don't know how I'm going to keep up with you girls!!! You'll just have to have a loooonnnng casual lunch and wait for me to get there. If it gets dark send out a search party.

Yesterday we went to Belmont Wheelworks. Hundreds of bikes right. They didn't have ONE that fit me, a short 5'0 woman. Yes we asked. It is so frustrating not being able to test ride bikes. I did sit on a 44 Specialized but it still wasn't right. Maybe with 650 wheels I could get the clearance. ARG.
I'm seriously considering custom now. If I'm going to spend that kind of money, I want it to fit right, not just almost. Rant over.

Jody;

Have you tried Bicycle Alley here in Worcester??? They usually have a small frame or two around? What are you looking for? I might be able to point
you into the right shop.

ps-I don't think I will be home the 14th...that's the BIG anniversary weekend

[Surlygirl]

Hey Karen, thought you'd gone missing. Sorry you can't join us the 14th.

I wasn't there to buy yesterday. Hubby was there to try out one of the Orbeas. Nice bike, but not my style. Anyway, he was pushing me to try bikes. I have poked around at Bike Alley and I'm sure Neil would help me find a bike once I get serious. I saw one with 650 wheels there a few months ago. I just need to figure out what I want and if they make one my size.

The bikes I ride - 1 Peter Mooney, & 2 Bike Fridays - are all custom. I've had good experience w/ custom, and even with custom you can agree on a price range. I'd say go for it!
