Hi there! I am not sure if i saw this on this site or another, it is kind of similar to "getting to know you." How it works is one person will ask a question, someone else will resond and ask another question and let it filter down to eveyone and anyone who wants to answer. It is pretty fun. Well here it goes for who ever wants to answer, just remember to ask a question too and hopefuly someone else will answer it. How many days a week do you ride?

**tatormc** · 07-01-2005, 07:59 PM

I currently try to ride at least 4 days and maybe 5 if it all works out right. So my question will be when do you ride, such as time of day?

**spazzdog** · 07-01-2005, 08:18 PM

I ride when it's the warmest part of the day... i don't do well under 80 deg.

What's your avg cadense? What's your goal cadense?

**LBTC** · 07-01-2005, 11:22 PM

I'm trying to reach an average of 95 - 100. My computer doesn't show actual average, but I think most times, not counting hills, I'm around 87-93. I'm getting there.

Who do you ride with?

**mikki** · 07-02-2005, 06:16 AM

Mostly myself. Sometimes my DH. Where do you ride?

**short cut sally** · 07-02-2005, 06:35 AM

The 2 main ladies that I ride with, we each take turns picking a route when we ride. It usually involves all of us driving to a spot, bike for 35-50 miles, pack back up, then go and eat lunch. We usually end up traveling more on the main roads as they actually have shoulders to ride on. We do repeat a couple of routes frequently as they are convenient for us as in time frame and location and ease of meeting/parking. My question is, do you have the shoe/pedal system or use regular street shoes/sneakers and the standard pedal?

**Veronica** · 07-02-2005, 10:46 AM

During the school year I have doublesided pedals on my bike so I can wear regular shoes to work and my bike shoes for longer rides. In the summer I put SPD pedals on.

My question - what size tires do you use?

Nice fat 24" 2.5! What's your favorite animal you've seen riding?

**Veronica** · 07-02-2005, 01:41 PM

I should have put "road" in my question.

I saw my first rattlesnake on Thursday! I almost turned around and went back home. I don't like snakes much at all. I also chased a coyote down the trail. When I realized I was gaining on him, I backed off. The poor thing must have been scared half to death. Coyotes are close enough to dogs that I can feel sorry for them - as long as they stay away from my cat! I saw moose, bison and elk on my tour last summer.

So - what size tires do you use on your road bike?

**Adventure Girl** · 07-02-2005, 02:34 PM

Answer: My bike has 650 wheels, and I usually ride 650 x 23's. But my bike shop just gave me some 650 x 20's to test.

Question: How many miles are showing on your bike computer of the bike you ride most?

**SadieKate** · 07-02-2005, 08:10 PM

Answer: 2,326.8 of my Litespeed road bike but I don't remember when I changed the battery other than sometime last year.

Question: When was the last time you did something for the first time and what was it?

SK

PS - this is fun

Last Sunday I ate apricots!

If you had to eat dinner with one of the Tour announcers which one would you choose and why?

**CorsairMac** · 07-03-2005, 05:06 PM

Answer: Paul Sherwin - I would Love to hear his storys about when he was a pro rider. Some of the glimpses he offers now just sometimes amaze me!

Question: How often do you eat on long rides? Do you base it on time re: every hour, or distance re: every so many miles??

(PS: this is fun - thanks for starting this!!)

**massbikebabe** · 07-03-2005, 05:36 PM

I eat probably every hour+ or so. Went out real early this morning after being sick from bad sushi yesterday and I totally bonked. My poor son had to witness my demise at mile 8...my question Has anybody ever had such a bonk where you are not sure if you should throw-up or pass out???

karen

**Adventure Girl** · 07-05-2005, 11:37 AM

Answer: I've never passed out while riding, but I have thrown up. But it wasn't because of bonking. It was a gag reflex after swallowing a bug. The sequence was: Swallow bug -- Gag -- Vomit -- Rinse... All without changing my cadence!

Question: What's the worst injury you've had while riding? How long did it take you to recover?
