    Road Bike training schedule??

    something else to consider is to check with your LBS and see if they have any group rides that are beginner friendly. riding in a pack is a whole different thing and you need to learn to do this, especially if you want to do a century. some of those rides have well over 2000 riders, you can...

    Road Bike training schedule??

    hee hee, i was suspecting so, but since I race (mtn bike not my road bike) that's where my brain goes. a century and the like would just be called a ride. it's very addicting and i know you will have fun training. my BIL has a bike shop and is building me up a custom titanium frame road...

    Road Bike training schedule??

    welcome to cycling...i love it, too! what kind of race do you think you may be training for? honestly, road racing is pretty tough so a crit or a road race may not be the best place to start if you're still new to cycling. maybe start with a time trial (TT). then it's just you against the...

    Minneapolis bicycling info

    paging Dirt Diva... she should be able to help you but she may be on a mtb trip. if she doesn't see this in time check out IMBA which is the Int'l Mtn Bike Assoc. if it's mtn biking you want. best bet may be to call the LBS in the area & ask someone there. have fun'

    I'm on day 4 of Paleo...

    i just read Wheat Belly. what an eye-opener. i have been basically GF for a while now since my DH has intestinal issues & feels better when he's GF. i had no idea how much the wheat crop has changed over the last 50-60 yrs, all for making a cheaper product...quantity over quality. it is so...

    some cycling love...i love it! i just did a 70 miler and my first mountain climb of the season. on the road, that is. we were chugging it up the 7 mile climb and we would see other cyclists flying down the other way on the descent and we'd "wave"...sometimes it's more of a lift your hand up...

    starting running

    for soreness...make sure you get some protein & complex carbs in you asap after your workouts. for me easiest thing is a recovery drink. and of course a thorough stretching routine. good luck to you. there is a great feeling you get sometimes during a run, like your feet are not part of your...
