I thought you had your plan in place for a specific bike?

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!

My Cruel did some cycling your way. Have you done any of the Natchez Trace?

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. |

By jiminy I'm cream crackered! (that's knackered!)
I've been out with the cycle club tonight despite having a wee chest infection. I probably shouldn't have gone but I'm glad I did because it's such a challenge. The Clarion motto is that they never leave a rider behind, which is a good job because I'm usually the one at the back. Tonight we got split up. The fast guys up front dropped us - that is me, the ride leader and the lovely Sean who keeps me company at the back. We knew we'd never find them so we carried on our own ride. ![]() Yup, yup I have 'ride hair'. We were treated to a bit of the old crepuscular action in the sky ![]() These are thumbnails, click on them for the full size pics. The ride was a never ending incline with the wind increasing by the mile - inclines and the wind are serious asthma/copd triggers for me - but I made the 20some miles and now my body has given up for the day and my bed is calling me. |

I'm realize I'm a little late to the party, but I'm super thrilled to find a cycling thread on BFP!
I've always had a bike for general commuting & bopping around town, but in 2007 I bought a road bike so I could ride Ragbrai (an annual 7 day ride across Iowa) with my Dad. We've done it every year since then, and I've definitely been bitten by the cycling bug. I've done rides in Oregon & Arkansas since then as well as lots of riding here in MN. I had to give up running after back surgery and a fractured ankle (work injuries) and cycling filled the gap for me. I was worried that being bent over on a road bike would be hard on my back but I had the bike professionally fitted and I find it more comfortable than my old upright - for those who have posted they're afraid to be on a road bike or are uncomfortable, there *is* a bike for you - go to a good local shop and try a bunch and when you find the bike you love, get it fitted! Happy & safe pedaling! |
