Thanks V. TRUE MTB is very hard here too. What I meant was, I would take my MTB out on the road for a spin just because I don't want to get my sparkly road bike dirty after paying for my overhaul.
DH and I have changed our minds though. We're takin' the road bikes out and facing the weather. It's not too cold, just a little windy and wet. We should be fine. He'll ride with me for a couple of hours, then I'll be on my own.
Off we go.

MTB is a much harder ride, way more intense, at least around here. As well as more challenging mentally. Plus it's a nice change of pace for you.
I think a 2+ hour MTB ride could count for a 4 hour road ride.

Way to go Wahine!!
Wow! Good for you for getting out into the weather.
DH and I were off telemarking but the weather was windy, cold, no sun about, so we turned ourselves about and demo'd our fireplace instead.
Heaving a sledgehammer and hauling brick must count for something- at least I hope!
Swimming tonight- now there is no way I'll jam out since you were ( are ) such a trooper!
Thanks for the motivation- hopefully I can pass some your way soon

Glad that's over
I finished my 3:53:25 ride, including breaks. It was wet, cold and windy. Another sufferfest worthy of Ironman training. I came home, had my chocolate milk, showered and brought my feet back into the land of the living and promptly passed out for about 1 hour. Now I'm pigging out and I have to go clean my poor bike.
My bike mileage this week: 167.1 km or 104.4 mi - Yiiiipppppeeeee
Thanks for the help everyone.Living life like there's no tomorrow.

Wahine/Yoda,
Sorry I missed this thread!
The only advice I can give you in a time like this... Concentrate...feel the Force flow. Yes. Good. Calm, yes. Through the Force, things you will see. Other places. Other races. The future...Wahine crossing finish line no? The force lies strong within you... Ironwoman you!

Bluetree, LOL! That is fantastic!
The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

Now I'm crying!!
From laughing soooooo hard. Man, am I sorry I missed this whole thing while I was at work today. I had a tough day, very busy with difficult clients. I could've used the lift. That is one the funniest things I've ever seen. I even wore my Wahine tri tank, (just like the picture but sleeveless), for my treadmill hill run today. Had to test it out.
Does anybody have any advice on some wrinkle cream?
No idea how much this has helped, you have. Yes, hmmm. Thank you, I must.Last edited by Wahine; 02-20-2007 at 08:19 PM.

Great job Bluetree! TOO FUNNY!!!!
Wahine... you need to get that printed and posted up for your to laugh at on a regular basis."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
