Good Luck! I highly recommend a Better Ride camp. I've done 2 and learned so much. Gene is awesome!

I had foot surgery early Dec. so no exercise, I spent the holidays eating cookies and drinking wine. It was great but I'm finished indulging and got on the spin bike today for the first time. It felt so good to train! As soon as snow melts a bit more I'll be on the roads and then on to...

From the Trailspinner's Yahoo group Re: snow depth report from MR/WC Posted by: "Brian Olowiany" brian.olowiany@cyclingsportsgroup.com Tue Dec 28, 2010 3:39 pm (PST) Rode last night at MR/WC with some of the team riders at Wooden Wheels. 4" tops, with a few sections that drift to 12"...

I've never had a problem with Stan's in my tires but have found that keeping the bottle in the garage over the winter in sub-freezing temps will speed up its shelf life, it goes bad and forms clumps that are too large for small thorn punctures. I'm guessing it is a combination of the bottle...

Gene is the best! Hoping to participate.

Setting a big goal is an excellent way to stay motivated. Posting here will keep you honest. Iron Cross is a fun race, and beautiful scenery to boot! For some training tips I recommend checking Lynda Wallenfell's website, blog and forum. She has great information and support for MTB endurance...

Mare is right! Windblock is the way to go. I start with Under Armor, layer a LS jersey and a wind block jacket mine is fleece lined so this can get me down to the 30s easily. Layers allow you to remove some too. It is really important to not overdress because you will sweat too much and then...

Way to go Ruth! Now they have ultimate respect for you:D

+1 more for Sidi Dominators. I too have a very high instep and I have been using Sidi Dominators for years. My current pair are> 5 years old with 1000s of miles on them (4-5,000+). They have been soaked over and over, been stuck in hot cars while wet and cold icy streams, covered with mud, mud...

Sorry about the hand. I agree running will maintain cardio. Stairs or hill intervals will help with your hill climbing cardio start slow, lunges and squats will help with the hill climbing legs. Also get a Bosu ball or a Swiss ball and practice balancing on it, sitting, kneeling, etc..Just don't...

Enjoy! Sounds like you deserve it.

I find riding solo really peaceful and meditative. No worries about going too slow for some, too fast for others. I can stop and re-do a section if I bobbled it or just to practice a new line. However when riding solo I stay in parks I know well and someone always knows where I'm riding...

Back injuries suck, I've but they can be overcome it just takes time. First thing you need to do is get past the acute stage do what the Dr says and don't push it. You may want to go see a sports medicine orthopedist if things are not getting better. Speak to your Dr about I'd recommending...

By far best shorts I have are my Assos but they are seriously exppensive at $189. However I have 2 pr that are > 5yrs old and holding up really well and if you get a tear or have an issue with them Assos will fix/replace them. I also use Chamois cream. I like the Assos brand but some find the...
