Don’t Be Such a Girl :: Joining the Group Ride

I’m a girl. And I’m proud of my femininity. I love being around strong women who have managed to blend brains with a pink shade of soft. One of my riding buddies, we’ll call her Holly Bail Bond, is a real life Stephanie Plum. She has hauled some scary dudes to court and she owns a 9mm handgun. Way cool. But you’ll never see her without lipstick. I love that. So I’m not about to go hatin’ on girls but [...]

Virtual Coach Pushes Rider to Higher Elevations

I’m not competitive. I take that back. I’ve never been competitive in anything but schoolwork. If I could earn As—or even better, set grade curves—I would. Partially because I knew I could.

Finding myself without a mountain bike was one of the saddest moments of my life. I distracted myself by exploring all of the amazing roads Boulder has to offer, but there was still a hole where a flashy carbon frame and 4″ of travel once lived. [...]

Things Your Bike Shop Probably Didn’t Tell You: Sex in the Saddle and Other Unmentionables

It just feels wrong to talk about certain things with bike shop guys. Like, for example, anything to do with my woo-hoo. Which is unfortunate considering how much time I spend in the saddle. Nether regions take considerable abuse on long rides and, actually, should be considered. I don’t want to start an argument here, but tending our tissues might even be more important than finding jerseys that match our bikes. Trust me. A cute jersey doesn’t seem nearly [...]
