Sure, I did 62 miles on Saturday, but I think I “cooked” my legs more during tonight’s mtb ride than during those long miles on Saturday. Should make tomorrow night’s group ride pretty interesting. View

    As I’m reading Al’s post and all the replies regarding his question about tires and widths for what he’s trying to accomplish, I’m curious about essentially the same thing but on a wider spectrum. First […]

    Looks like a great trail system, Shane! Love the space on these trails. Course, I notice the big difference in plants, too. We have to always be on the look-out for a plant up called “Poison Ivy” – especially […]

    Good ride, today. To make things interesting, my hubby took a dare from me and took his mtb (instead of his road bike) plus wore a backpack loaded down with all kinds of personal SAG stuff. (He said it was pretty heavy.) Yeah, that’s right. He rode his mtb (with those fat tires that sung like crazy at high speeds) on the road for the metric…[Read more]

      Fantastic to hear your ride went so well Rapunzel and glad your Hubby didn’t ”feel it” till close to the end :) sure sounds like he was loaded up for the ride!

      Now go eat some great food :)

    Doing another organized ride tomorrow – my favorite of the year. Really pretty countryside. Except it’s an hour away from here. So, I have to get up early. Hubby & I had hoped to do the century, but neither of us have had enough seat time. So, we’re sticking with the 60. A few friends are coming along. Weather is supposed to be good -…[Read more]

    LOL. I always harken to Sheldon Brown on the derailer bit. ;) Btw – great info sheet! Bidon screws were the only thing I didn’t know the “official” name.

    Well, it’s showing right now on the video streaming tab – first link under the “cycling” tab.

    Though, it said Giro d’Italia 14:30pm. I’m not sure if that time is their time or ours. Must be there’s. […]

    I did a ”simple” 20 mile ride, today. Also a bit windy but not quite as bad. My legs had some unkind things to say at the start of the ride, but they felt better after 5 miles or so. Was glad to get outside!

      Glad you felt better during the ride Rapunzel.

    Did 34 miles on my road bike yesterday…and 2544ft of climbing. Ouch. We didn’t originally plan to do that much climbing. We were looking to find roads that were flanked by lots of trees and therefore feel less wind. (The winds were pretty high, yesterday. Push my bike sideways a few times – eich.) It just turned out those roads had plenty…[Read more]

    My average cadence is 85…still working on getting it higher. Of course, my cadence will go really high at certain times on a ride …and if a hill is truly wretched then, it might drop down to 60.
