    I tried it a few years ago and the hills about K.O.ed me

    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    I am usually working during the time that I could be able to sneak out. Training for this upcoming half marathon is even worse though - lot harder to run on trails in the rain!

    Worst Weather

    The worst in your opinion! I've had to stop riding and ride out a tornado warning in an outhouse once :D

    Superman Ride Thoughts

    Did a lot of people do the RAIL ride? It did rain on us during the ride.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    Yeah. Right now, I typically brake more than I ride. I think it's the wobbling that freaks me out.

    Padded versus Unpadded (Tights)

    When wearing tights for like cool and colder weather: Do you wear padded tights, or do you wear unpadded tights as a layer over your padded shorts/bibs? Here lately I've been taking a liking to my insulted padded bib tights or my non-insulated padded bib tights when it's colder. I feel like...

    Are we ever going to catch a break?

    Seems like the rain and wind is non-stop this year! I might have to invest in a trainer before too long. Has all the rain and wind messed with your biking or training at all this year?

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    Stuff happens though! I have a lot of digestive issues. If I get that before a ride, I will abort that ride like never signed up or I'll be miserable the whole time.

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    For some reason, I like going uphill on a bike. I like it in hiking too. Even if it beats the crap out of me in the process. Downhill freaks me out though, if I go too fast, I need to work on that one.

    Superman Ride Thoughts

    The Superman ride in Metro was small this year. I feel like less than last year. If it wasn't for CRCC riders, they might have had to cancel it, really. I have a feeling that it's not going to keep going. I hate that we're losing all the bike rides and races but it all seems to be the same...

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    That's crazy man. I wonder if it's a nutrition thing.
  17. Shawn Gossman

    What's your biggest cycling weakness?

    Mine is speed. I need to get faster. I never group ride because I can never keep up with the group. I think I need to focus on getting faster this year. How about you all? What's your biggest cycling weakness and do you plan to ever overcome it?

    How was the Glen Vegas Race?

    Do you cramp up often? What do you think was the cause?

    Cotton Crochet Cycling Gloves

    Every time I've went barehanded, the shock makes my hands hurt, especially mountain biking.
