When did you last wash your bike?
Yes, you are supposed to occasionally wash them. For me, about a week ago using White Lightning wash and a good rinse. It would appear that all of the dust (I live in dusty dairy country) combined with the gallons of sweat and drool that I drip onto my bike makes a gunky paste in places. What about you?

Need new tires already!
Apparently, I need new tires, as I can now see the fabric where the tread used to be. It made me go back and figure my mileage on them. I got the bike new in mid-March, 2012. In the past 10 months or so, I have put on 1500-2000+/- miles on them. My rides are generally dry, on fair-poor paved surfaces, and I am still quite…

Want to ride on a pro course?
Part of the Amgen Tour of California will be open for the public to ride for free. If you are in LA in May and like to ride your bike, you may want to consider doing this. How often do you get to ride on a closed off section of a major metropolitan city that is part of a world famous race?…

So, where are you and what do you like to do?
I guess I have to start somewhere.. I live in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley, the milk capitol of the world. As I am somewhat gimpy from an injury, I ride an old bike.

California Classic Weekend
If you are going to be anywhere near central California in May, give this a peek. I'm thinking of tackling the Mini Metric ride. (Just did my first public ride today (a 25 mile ride in the wind), and I'm kinda hooked!) HOpe to see you there! http://www.californiaclassicweekend.com/index.php

How fast and how far?
When cycling on a flat surface, what is your average speed? I am interested to see how fast and how far everyone is going on a regular ride. I seem to average 15mph for my 10-12 mile rides. Working my way up to longer distances and higher speeds.

California Myths Exposed!
We do not all live five minutes from Disneyland. We do not all live on a sunny beach. Not all of us are airhead "Valley Girl" types. We don't hang out with celebrities and movie stars all the time. We are not all liberal politically. Not everyone in the state can surf. Well, every day. What others can you think of?

Question about control
In your relationship (married or dating), who does the driving when you go places together? (Stolen from the wall of a friend) In my case, it's me who is compelled to drive. I was in a really bad car crash when I was 18; could have died bad, and since then, I am a very nervous passenger.

Campaign or online, which do you prefer?
I am more of a single player campaign player. I can't devote the time and energy to the online fragfests to make me much more than a statistic. I also get very weary very quickly of the tweenage morons, and just blocking their voices isn't always enough. Which do you prefer?

Mass Effect 2 question
Just completed the final mission, and am more than a little sad. I lost some good teammates. I know this will carry over into ME3. I am aware that by doing some things differently, I could have saved my crew, but wasn't aware of this until far too late. Anyone know if I go back to an earlier save point and redo things,…

There are so many wonderful success stories to be read on MFP, as anyone who has poked around the success stories section will testify.

Don't judge by appearances. RANT
On my way home from picking up my kids today, I noticed a small crowd of people standing around a 70ish lady lying on the sidewalk face down, not moving. I pulled over to offer assistance as nobody there seemed to be able to do more than stand around and stare. One was on his cell phone with 911, which was a good thing. I…
