Hi girls!

It seems as though we have our own little "thing" here, cool with me.

Christine, of course you can play...don't need to have been from around Pasadena to play - you love cycling, that is everything, no?

Blading huh? I tried that for about 10 minutes. I roller skated some when I was younger but it's nothing like a bike, but Christine - you go girl!

Kim, you got a couple of great bikes - do you do mtn.'g too? My aunt lives up in SF and she bikes everywhere and has a mtn. bike as well. I like the mtn bikes - the look of them and all. I especially love the shoes. Why in the world can mtn. bike shoes be used for road bikes anyway? They are so much cheaper...and cuter. Besides, when you are trying to clip back in from having clipped out, the bottoms of road shoes are plastic and slippery. Not so with mtn. bike shoes. Go figure. I spent 3 whole days driving around the San Gabirel Valley just to find shoes for my spinning class - which ultimately led me to buy a bike. By the way, I would suggest spinning (you can use the same shoes - most of the time) for the conditioning, balance and above all, weight loss. It has changed my body so much. I go like 4 times a week and ride my bike with my husband the other days, sometimes 2 times in a day! Hey, when I go for something I love, I go whole heartedly. A bit obsessive/compulsive about things.

Question: What does one do when the time changes and it's dark at 5pm and you are use to going out just after 5? I don't much like the thought of being out in the dark. I rely too much on "seeing the road" so I don't fall off this monster. Do we need to go out like at 2pm now? Hey, I got nothing else to do, right?

later girls,
