Where Else Can I put my Garmin and my HRM where they will work but I can't see them.

What ever would i do without these wonderful people I have met on Team Estrogen????

Has anyone ever put together a "Team Estrogen Rally" like the ones they have for motorcycles? How fun would it be to find some riders to ride with in a beautiful place who ride at my speed. And we could have forums on safety . . . designed especially for me!!

We have been going to a get together for the last 13 years for motorcycle riders even though we gave up riding six years ago! We ride in a convertible now! We just love the camaraderie. They keep attendees to around 225 so they can rent out an entire venue so everything is one place. The one year they allowed 500 nearly killed them!

They always have had safety seminars and in the past years have had seminars on cooking and photography! This particular get together is called a "reunion." It takes place in different part s of the country each year so there are always gorgeous trails to ride. Two years ago it was in Bend, Oregon. I wish I could have rented a bicycle and ridden there, but it wasn't possible.

Still undecided about continue to ride though. I am so torn. My road rash and upper left swollen lip hurt like crazy today. It's gorgeous outside and riding a bike is the last thing on my mind.

Karen, I have a smaller round blind spot/wide angle mirror on the driver's side mirror. You can buy one at any auto parts store, for like 10-20.00. It allows you to see all of the way back to the tail of your car and beyond. I first got one when I started driving a 4-Runner, after having smaller cars. I am so used to it that I am on my second (smaller) car since the 4-Runner and I couldn't drive without one. But, my DH doesn't have one, even on his huge SUV and he never turns his head. He had a few years' experience owning a lunch truck, and driving that huge vehicle taught him a lot about peripheral vision. The car he has now has the "automatic parking" feature, and he only rarely uses it. Me, I don't parallel park; thankfully, I learned to drive 6 months after we moved away from the northeast, and never had to until moving back here. I avoid it like the plague, and have done it only maybe 5 times in my life.
Cycling is easier.
