I got this Nike+ accessory for my Nano (actually, my grandma gave it to me for Christmas!) and I broke it out this week (finally!). I’m in San Fran and don’t have much access to cycling (although tonight I’ll be trying to finish work in time to make the “Butter Lap” ride), so I’m testing out the whole running vs. riding ratio this week.I am not a product tester of any kind, and really am not going to go into all my thoughts, criticisms and suggestions about this … Continue Reading

So, we hit the woods one last time before snow falls and it was so fun (and warmer) that we didn’t do any road riding. And what’s better, after punishing the body with climb after climb, than some stretching.Ahh.Seriously. I officially give Angela, our instructor for the “open house” class we took, two very-relaxed-and-fully-aware thumbs up.

That’s what I’ve been doing lately. After taking a week off for the holidays, I jumped in the deep end. Yikes. How does one train on the bike in the winter? How am I supposed to fit in my 2.5 and 3 hour rides? That’s been a big issue. I’ve been splitting time on the rollers (some in the morning and some whenever I can fit it in throughout the day). I’m not totally convinced that it’s as effective as a single, long ride. But, my, um, “seat” is … Continue Reading

I’m going to (attempt to) dispell what I suspect may be a myth: We’re an anti-male feminist riding group. Um…(dramatic pause)….no, we’re not. We actually like men and many members of the club are married to them. Men. Various members are married to various men. Whatever! You get the point!Men. We often ride with them. Hell, sometimes we even race against, er, with them. But, in establishing the club, we just thought it would be a good idea to generate an environment where women didn’t have to … Continue Reading
