Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - born and raised and still here. (In January and February each year I ask why am I still here, but all summer and fall I know exactly why I stay.)

I was shocked after we picked up one of those Hormel 'REV' wraps the other day. This one was labeled as #7. net weight... 3oz. it looked harmless enough. 290 calories (25% of my day); 50% of the saturated fat for a day; 40% of the daily allowance of sodium. All this goodness in a large 3 oz serving. :noway:

It has been quite hot in Minneapolis this past week. The feeling of sweat pouring from my body is wonderful. I got a new bike this year, first new bike in over 20 years. TREK Domane 2.0. I went o buy a flat bar exercise bike and ended up with what they call an Enduarance Road bike. It is a wonderful bike, the miles just…

First month tracking rides in the forum This is also my first year riding a road bike. I had been riding a 32lb mountain bike with 26" wheels the last couple of years.. amazing how much faster a 21lb road bike with thin tires on 700CM (29") wheels is when you compare them. 8/1 - 10.6 miles (std Thursday night ride on the…

I fell over several times when I started with the clipless pedals... that can hurt and you feel and look silly tipping over so watch it. However they add greatly to riding and leg toning.

I am new here at MFP and just found this thread. I started riding again a couple years ago. This year I replaced my old Mountain bike (32lbs) with a real road bike (21lbs), clipless pedals, shoes etc... it is amazing how much further and faster a good road bike is. I still like the off-road single track on the MTB or ride…
