Holy cow, I need to work on my butt callus. I went for a 25 miler today and the first 10 minutes were spent half standing Love this time of the year! But wow, what great weather. Lise I hope you got out today. I plan on riding again tomorrow if I can.

Looks like great weather all week long! My riding partner, who works part time, called me at work yesterday to taunt me as she left on a long riding!

I was laughing yesterday riding home from work as I watched all the neighborhood kids out in shorts and flip-flops - there's plenty of places in the US where 70 degrees would still be a bit chilly to strip down. When I first moved here, I couldn't believe the guys who would be out in their shorts as soon as it went above 50 degrees. You gotta love those hardy Chicagoans!

Way to go Fujigirl! Doubling your mileage is quite a feat!

Thanks for all your supportive words. It was fun (now that it's over, of course)! I'm thinking I need to train a little more before I can do that kind of distance again. But it's a great feeling to know I did it!

Just wondering what Fuji you have. I got a new Fuji cyclocross bike, its awesome and was WAY cheap!

[Fuji Girl]

My Fuji is a 2004 Fuji Newest WSD. It was way cheap too, only $500. Of course, I've sunk more than that in upgrades: 105 shifters, brakes, FD, RD, Specialized Avatar saddle, Cateye Astrale 8 computer, Shimano M540 pedals, Mavic Open Pro wheels with Ultegra hubs,the list goes on and on! Next move: swapping for an Ultegra BB and 105 crank.

here's a picture:

That's really pretty! I bet you still come out pretty good total price-wise when you figure in the quality of the frame. May cyclocross bike came with Dura Ace RD and everything else 105. It was only $900!
