quit the dirty looks

[bikerINco]

when i ride, i tend to make terrible, weird faces. I've been told to just relax my upper body muscles, including the ones in my face. You tend to waste energy by tensing so much.

Next time you ride try to stay relaxed and enjoy the ride.

LOL I was looking at pics from a local ride and pointed out to the hubster - "Look honey! we all look like we are playing guitar!"


Thats funny.....now Im gonna be self concious LOL!!!!!!

So true!

My lower lip (which is already fat enough) started swelling up at the corner halfway through Sunday's ride before I realized I'd been gnawing on it the whole way!

I didn't realize I had a riding face until after a particularly grueling mtb race when someone asked why I've always got a huge when I'm riding.

I'm good with it.

I realized that I have a bike face when everyone I met on the bike trail smiled back at me. I didn't even realize I'd been smiling. A friend told me that I sport an ear-to-ear grin.

OK, smiling takes energy, but I think I'll learn to cope, one reason I bike is to lose some weight, after all.

I must admit, I"m the girl of many bike faces! I know I get the "I'll kill ya" look when taking on a big challenge, I sometimes stick my tongue out on a techinical downhill (yes, I know this is bad and try not to!), and often I find myself grinning! so the coolest thing is to find that your cheeks (the upper ones) are sore after a big long ride! yahoo!!

Namaste,
