I was 110 in high school but I also took ephedrine every day and may have had a slight eating disorder. Quite happy to be 135 20 years later.

I have a Salsa Warbird and it is the best bike I've ever owned. That is the only 2cents I have to offer. I love riding the gravel.

I have a steam shower at home. I don't know what the actual benefits are, but it feels damn good after a bike ride. Especially a winter ride.

I used to have a dinosaur eating a jesus fish. It was hilarious. Pretty sure a disgruntled xtian ripped it off my car.

I ride on any nice day I can. Colorado makes it easy with tons of sunshine. I also have the trainer set up in the dungeon but I hate it so much. Hopefully, I'll get my lazy *kitten* in some spin classes this season. I want to be ready for the first ride of the spring, which is a brutal 50 mile, rolling gravel grinder. I…

I bought the GoGirl and it works great! I only had to use it once but it was worth it. The only issue was not being able to rinse it immediately, but I took care of it as soon as I could. It will definitely stay packed with all my camping gear from now on.

You'll lose her in her teens, but you'll get her back someday. My dad is one of my best friends and he is my favorite cycling partner. I wish my daughter had the same love from her dad. :(

My daughter is Macy after William H Macy.

<--- I got my very first ride jersey this weekend. It's so purty. I worked hard for that thing.

I was sold on the Vaya until I was talked in to the Salsa Warbird. I don't regret my decision, but my dad did get the Vaya and he loves it. What a beautiful bike.

My man has a fat bike and he uses it for everything, everywhere. No, he can't keep up with me on pavement but he doesn't care. In his words "it's one bike to rule them all". He is always super happy on that thing. ETA: Look into bikepacking bags. They are much easier to ride with than panniers and you don't need any extra…

Yikes! I won't be peeing in a school field! I didn't want to go into details, but I will just say that I don't want to have to leave my tent for the 8 million times that I have to use the bathroom every night, especially when I am trying to stay hydrated for the next day. The one I'm looking at has a small carrying case…

Good gravy. It's about preserving the trails and environment, not avoiding bumps and ruts.

Walking in heels would cause less damage than slipping around on knobby tires in the mud. Respect the trails.

I was working in the World Trade Center in Denver. I promptly went home spent the day in front of the tv with my best friend (we had to take a break from the news at some point and watch Labyrinth). Her man came home early and proposed to her when he walked in the door. Shortly thereafter, my daughter was conceived. Those…

I also went from a Trek hybrid to a Trek 2.1. It was the best thing that ever happened for my riding.

Luckily my spouse is the one who is pushing for me to get bike #6 (fat bike). I'm the one who insists I sell one (mtn bike) if I get another. All bikes are currently parked in my kitchen. It's ridiculous.

I adore my gravel bike. I wish I could say I built her but she is a beautiful Salsa Warbird. I've ridden her everywhere including single track. It's like a rally car. Have fun with the build!

My daughter just started middle school and while I totally understand most of the dress code, some things are pretty ridiculous. There is a very long list of rules for girls and 2 rules for boys. All this is doing is reinforcing the idea that girls are responsible for boys' actions. Best quote at parent orientation night:…

I would guess that the problem with sport drinks is the sugar content. Try Smartwater. I also use Hammer electrolyte tablets. I'm easily dehydrated and these things tend to keep me feeling well.

Saving Grace The Van (1996) The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain Calendar Girls

Great movie

But not actually set in the 70's... Love this movie Alpha Dog Basquiat Girls Town Run Lola Run Harold and Maude The Last Supper A Life Less Ordinary

This. I don't think I would do an unsupported century without knowing there are guaranteed sources of clean water. I'm not sure it would be possible to carry enough water for 100 miles in the Arizona heat. Platypus makes reservoirs that hold 2 and 3 liters but you pretty much have to have a frame pack to carry that much.

He also wrote a great book about converting his cattle ranch. Buffalo for the Broken Heart

Wild Idea Buffalo He has gone back to the native grasses in an effort to restore the grasslands. The buffalo have room to roam and graze naturally. Based on some of your posts, I'm sure you don't care about that aspect, but it's also very good meat. http://wildideabuffalo.com/mission/

I'd rather feel happy. Happiness is MY emotion. I can't control how others feel about me. Being valued is nice but out of my control.

You can't eat or drink after the cleanse and before the colonoscopy, so no. At least it wouldn't be a very smart thing to do. I'm pretty sure you'll wake up that morning and not want to do it anyway. Sh!tting for hours (literally) is not a good time.

My boss bought me a nice reception desk that I converted into a standing station. I love it but I get some really strange looks when people come into my office. Huge desk, tiny office. Standing and driving cannot be safe or legal.

Beautiful. Carole King not Christina Whatserface.
