Go for it, Brandi but be careful,

There's a ton of wisdom on this board, and I've often thought there's a book here, several books here. I've even broached this to TE and *of course* one can't use our random postings as free writers but the stuff we say here no one is writing; whether it's how we balance work/family/cycling/relationships, recovery from injury, nutrition for women athletes, cycling after 40 or 50...in part we're here because you can't find this anywhere else.

Heck yeah I'd buy Denise's book, I'd go see the movie But I agree with what she said that one has to ask permission of anything and everything that's quoted or even used as an idea if attempting something like this.

Often when it comes to art or any creative endeavor ones first taste of success is having an idea lifted without permission and seeing it elsewhere. So you always want to get permission. Is there a copyright lawyer in the house?

I cartoon a bit, right now just a hobby but sure I'd like to get some published someday. But if any of you ever said something that I planned to use even as a starting off point, believe me you'll know. I'd ask before even preliminary sketching something out.

PS: I know, I know, everyone wants to be the editor. I find I'm more interested in why we still ride. Like most here I rode as a kid and somewhere along the road stopped. We rediscover the bike for many reasons but in the face of enormous odds; cars, loose dogs, potholes, poorly fit jerseys, sometimes over our family or work objections we keep riding.

Why and how, that's fascinating.
