All time high number of women in WA?
I think today we may have had an all time high in the number of cat 4 women out racing! There were over 60 and they had to actually split the field into 2 groups (4's are limited to 50 at a time) The promoter was gracious and allowed all comers to race (they had to do the same with the cat 5 men)....

Completion of 1 generation
This latest nephew marks probably the end of the next generation after my siblings and I. Just born earlier this week. He is no. 7 of a bunch of nieces and nephews from 3 siblings (out of 6 in total). So who knows what will happen in the subsequent generations. I chose not to have children...

What Bike(s) do you own?
Just a Poll - What bike or bikes do you own? What do you ride the most? What are your 2010 riding goals? How many days a week do you ride and total weekly mileage? I own a Trek 7100, Giant OCR 3W and a Giant Rincon. I ride the Trek 7100 the most. I plan to ride more and do longer rides. ...

Prednisone/Prednisolone.......ugh!
I hate the stuff! I was taking this at a relatively low dose of 10 mg per day for 10 months, then tapered off for 2 months, all seemed fine. Then started the awful aches and pains, especially upper body. Arms so painful even to comb hair, laying in bed my arm was so tender. 6 weeks along...

Need some Inland Empire route advice
So it's time for our annual visit to the inlaws in Hemet. My husband is forcing me on to a plane this time so no bike. :( Sent an email to my cousin in Orange County, an avid rider, and he suggested a ride out of Hemet before he knew I wasn't bringing my bike. It sounds fun and I would love to...
