Am I losing my vision?

[bikerchic]

Wow it's been a while since I've been here.

Just a question, has the format changed? Seems the print is smaller and a bit fuzzy to me. No biggy really, maybe I need stronger glasses LOL.

Anyone else notice this or is it just me?

BTW.....I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and I send wishes for a fantastic, cyclebodacious New Year for all!

Hi there!

Well, I'm new around these parts, but I've noticed the print size can look different if I view this list on a different computer.

If you're using Internet Exporer, you might want to check the print size settings. Go to View --> Text Size and see if changing the settings there helps.

Hi Jo!

I went to view and checked text size and my computer was on the smallest size.......whew what a relief to know I'm not only NOT going blind but I'm NOT going crazy either! I knew it looked different than it did before.

Thanks, prints back to normal now.

So tell me what can you do about my lackadazical cycling impairment? LOL

and btw Welcome to the board!

very glad to be of assistance, Kate!

As for the lackadazical cycling impairment, not sure I can be much help there. For me, sometimes I can get bored if I do the same old same old for too long, and I generally need a real goal to work towards.

As for a change of scenery - you're up around Portland, right? There must be a lot of nice places to ride around there (granted this probably isn't a great time of year for biking up there if you're not keen on wet and cold!). Maybe look a bit farther away - I'm kind of familiar with Astoria, maybe there are some nice rides from there going down the coast or along the Columbia River, or up the Long Beach peninsula? I suggest getting a big cup of coffee or tea and spending a nice rainy afternoon on Google hunting down new places to ride, you might be surprised.

Sometimes a real goal to shoot for can help get the a** in gear - maybe there's a big ride you can train for? There's the Seattle-to-Portland this summer, that sounds epic! (Hubby and I are hoping to move up to Washington State or Oregon "someday" so I like to browse cycling sites up there). Or, maybe just a wimpy (heh!) metric century like I'm doing.

hope this helps,
- Jo.

Thanks for the ideas.......I've been doing just what you've said looking for that next ride to train for.

Unfortunately right now I'm nursing the flu, ugg! And it's snowing up here in Portland, I love the snow but it does make for slippery roads.

My next plan of attack to get out there and ride is keeping everything ready, bike, gear and clothes set out so that on the next dry day that I'm well I can hit the road.

Oh yeah I love the idea or riding along the coast, beautiful!
