Thanks Ken, and likewise! Not much of a risk to pick Levi, though I thought he wouldn't need to make up time at this point. I guess Mancebo was too much of a threat for Levi to sit back on Stage 2. And I still think Freire should have been up there, but I'll take what I can get!

Very nice seeing you at the race today and you did a very good job with the predictions.

Bikes that are ancient affairs, frightenly noodly? More like "classics" with "old school character", my friend! Just which bike did you get? Ride forward on the saddle to distribute weight more over frame center for stability. A 48x17? That's one of the Junior specific wheels. Saturday mornings are more about experiencing fixed gear and remembering to spin. See you around!

Sounds like fun! I went to one Saturday beginner's sessions, and reading this made me want to try it out again.

Dennis,

Nice article! I am also very fond of adding fast working proteins to my sportsdrink, PeptoPro is a very good example!

Best,

Steven

Sorry to hear about your crash! Hopefully you've healed up by now and can jump back into the action soon.

Very cool Anne! Best wishes with your triathlon!

2008-06-10T16:23:00.000-07:00

hey thanks for riding for diabetes. I've had type 1 since I was 14 and discovered cycling about 4 years ago. (road cycling, that is.) I was hooked immediately. I did some of the LKHC series last year, which is how I met Steve Rosen (actually only online I think we've corresponded) and how I found your blog! I'm doing Ironman Wisconsin with a team of 12 type 1 diabetics in September. But I hope to get into more road racing next year when I have more time. Anyway, thanks for raising so much $. For some really fantastic rides, check out the JDRF Rides to Cure Diabetes. The fundraising amount is higher but they are amazing.
cheers,
Anne

Thanks! Food is fun, huh, especially without the guilt part! Actually I do report to a Marketing group here. I'm a Web Designer.

Yeah Dennis! It must have been the breakfast. It's too bad Flap Jack's Country Cafe isn't at all the races. :)

You're my hero! I aspire to ride enough that sufficient caloric intake becomes a concern. Here I cite my usual excuse about the unwieldy combination of a day job and too many kids. Nice job giving airtime to the sponsors. Have you considered a career in marketing?

That climb is a killer. We did it last Wed. I felt great for 30 min, the last five really hurt. Good Job!

glad you made it home... I tried to go running last Friday during the height of the storm but decided to play it safe instead. It was scary enough getting home in my car! Let's hope for better weather and clean streets!

Yes, I would run if I didn't have bad feet. But that's what my parents gave me! :-) I will have to find other ways to maintain bone density. Thanks for visiting and commenting!

2007-12-17T11:15:00.000-08:00

Glad to hear your bones are in good shape! I read your post and was about to say, "Ha! You should try running sometimes" but then thought I would do a little research first. One study found that endurance running may have similar effects as endurance cycling (reduced bone density, noted in the lumbar spine), that are not as severe with weight training. But another study found the reverse to be true (in men aged 40-50)--that endurance running increased bone density in the proximal femur. Another study found that calcium supplmentation (or, I would assume, reducing calcium loss as you are doing) helped maintain bone density (in the femoral mid-shaft) of young female endurance runners.. Interesting stuff!

P.S. Steve Rosen, who I met through LKHC, pointed me to your blog... Cheers.

2007-12-03T14:44:00.000-08:00

Thanks dude! Will probably just rent one of their 52cm bikes though, as they fit me well. Nothing special, well, they rent out Specialized Langsters, but they work fine. I will try to get that last Saturday Beginners session out of the way soon. Been training with Team Bicycle Trip on Saturdays though.

Cool, there are two winter track races coming up http://www.ridetheworldcups.com/
My spare bike is probably too big (56cm) but you are welcome to use it.

2007-11-30T17:15:00.000-08:00

Will do Ken! I probably won't add a specific track goal, other than just finishing up my third and final beginner's session so I can actually enter races at the velodrome. Most of my goals won't help my track speed.

Let me know if you add some track goals.Ken

Maybe find a coach who wil support your approach - will remove any self doubt and ensure that you get the most out of doing something different.
Performance is just as much mental - if you think you might be doing the wrong thing, that's how you will end up performing!

Sounds like great fun, Dennis. Thanks for the repo...
