Oh so lonely here in Corvallis!!!

[chick on a bike]

Yes, Corvallis is Bike Central and if you can't deal with cyclists then don't move here!!! LOL!!!!!! It is nice though that the cars here will actually look out for us and those that don't, well.........they can just go jump off a cliff somewhere..*lol* ^^

I did not know that OSU was having any kind of class like that next week.....Unfortunately, even if I'd want to go I don't really have a really good way of getting there. Yeah I could ride my bike but with my health being the way it is right now, that far would kill me I think. And there's no money for gas either as no one in my house hold has a job; can't find or get one. But that class does sound bennificial! ^^

And no I'm not a part of any club rides as I needed to have a road bike before I could really tackle riding with larger groups....a mountain bike wouldn't cut it; I'd get left in the dust. But now that I have a road bike I could probably do club rides.

Nope, it wasn't me you saw. ~mischievous grin~ I don't ride into town that far because of my mountain bike, it's too much of a pain....I ride out indipendance hwy and or out on hwy 20 into town then back home along 99W. So I'm no where's near you...

And I stick out like a sore thum anyway....you really can't miss me as I'm like the only "serious" black female cyclist on the road.....all the others don't have the clothes and are just doing it for leisure. ^^ My bike is black with a little bit of red, and my outfit is simple; black cannari shorts and sky blue cannari sleevless jersey.....Sometimes I just wear my shorts and pink sports bra.....and when it's really hot out, I just go in my lime green bikini! *lol* Cars really pay attention to me then and give me nice births. *giggles* Hmm, wonder why???

Well I know you're supposed to wear bright colors for safety...but a lime green bikini I would not have thought of. Of course, you'd never catch me in a bikini, but that's a whole 'nuther story!

Congrats on the getting the road bike, you'll have a blast! I'm sure they'll repeat the class at OSU either during the year or next summer, maybe by then you'll be able to take it. It sure is inconvenient when life interferes with cycling

LOL!!!!!! ^^ Yes that lime green bikini sure does stand out...and it really is bright against the darkness of my back as it gets all the sun! *he he* Really, I don't know how I can even go out in my bathing suit......I was just so not thrilled about going out in any more than that on such a hot day (like 80 82+). I just deal with it, and since people don't seem to care much about fat these days, I guess I shouildn't worry about my problem areas showing either...I'm not too bad in that department but I do have areas that need work. As I'm sure all of us do. *giggles*

And yes it is indeed inconveniant when life interferes with riding! I wish it would stop; I'm done!! *lol* I've got better things to do...like ride??

Well just let me know if you want company while riding; I'll do whatever you want to do ^^....you can e-mail me through my profile if you want.
