...and you rock too jelli. Do you ever ride? I'm so sorry to hear that Cruel Joke had such a nasty accident that has all but stopped her riding. Motor vehicles vs. HPV's = an unholy mess.  |

Cruel did purchase me a bike and a trainer. Also bikes for the kid which none of them ride much anymore - between school, jobs, bf/gf's, etc. My bike is a hybrid. Her name is Flame and she has been dusty for far to long. I am looking to find a class around to show me general maintenance, change a tire(as much as I dread it), etc. We live in a great area for cycling. George Hincapie lives here in Greenville. George and the US Postal and now Discovery team ride all over our area for training.

Oooh it would have been horrible to see the accident.
I feel so very fortunate that I've not had a serious accident on the road in 40yrs of riding a bicycle. Although with the amount of numpties¹ on the roads nowadays it's probably only a matter of time. I encountered 3 yesterday who nearly took me out completely. It was only my good observation and quick reactions that kept me on the bike. It this that made me so concerned when I heard some of our group ride had never ridden on a road before. Maintenance classes are a great idea jelli but surely riding your bike so that it needs maintenance would be a good idea first. Poor Flame being relegated to the garage with no-one to ride her. Howabout a cycling challenge to add to todays numpty² challenge? Get thee hence to the cycle path and give good old Flame an outing  |

My first bike was a $500 bike. I rode it ALL THE TIME. For years. It didn't matter the heat index. It didn't matter if I was riding through snow (mountain biker here). I was going to be out on that bike! My next bike was $2,800. It didn't fit me as well, and subsequently, I rode less (well, that and a bit of PTSD from a head on collision with another rider on a trail!) It is all about fit! And shame to the rider that may have sold it to you unless it WAS a perfect fit! /lecture.

We've met up with George at several cycling events in S'burg, G'ville, Saluda, etc. They hold the USA Cycling championships here in G'ville. One of his all time favorite training rides for him and his friends is Paris Mtn.

Great thread!
Impressed that we Nashvillains have enough riders for a pretty sweet cycling club! Currently in my stable: 2007 Specialized Hardrock Sport Disc 2008 Specialized 29er Disc 2003 Quintanna Roo Triathlon Bike I work in the heat and am so "over" it when I get home that I haven't ridden much this Summer. Will change that in the next few weeks, however. There is some great riding here in the Nashville area!

Maybe us TN folks should get a fall ride together.  A Oh btw, The Boy got his bike the other day. We went riding this morning. Only a couple of miles 'cause I didn't know what the hand would do. It's a "boxer's fracture" after all, but didn't impede the ride much. But it was an easy course. |
