She is rider #6109.<BR/><BR/>I think she might be doing some training rides with Shifting Gears. She's the tiny Venezuelan that's really fast!beto dotôhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437698347529830444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429795813830969495.post-73561377777116684652008-01-28T07:20:00.000-08:002008-01-28T07:20:00.000-08:00Oi Beto!

It was absolutely amazing with no hurt egos!<BR/><BR/>Also, I'm glad to hear that all the group rules eventually become second nature.<BR/><BR/>We should go for a ride once your fieldwork is done.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15607603453415937865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429795813830969495.post-34062366105859934522008-01-28T07:15:00.000-08:002008-01-28T07:15:00.000-08:00ps... the person I took out when I spilled, was no...ps... the person I took out when I spilled, was none other than my girlfriend, by the way.beto dotôhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437698347529830444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429795813830969495.post-25237003717652265012008-01-28T07:13:00.000-08:002008-01-28T07:13:00.000-08:00You're a LifeCyclist!!

I think that was the year... it was the first year of the LifeCycle (rather than the money grubbing AidsRide. <BR/><BR/>Anyways, I took a spill on my first training ride with clips, and took the person out that stopped beside me. It hurts our egos but it is better to get it over with early on. <BR/><BR/>I remember thinking how silly it was when they announce every single possible obstacle, as though we could not see for ourselves. But remember that riding in a huge group amplifies problems exponentially, as you found out when you took that spill. When someone doesn't yell out that they are stopping, it is not that hard to end up on your ass...<BR/><BR/>Also, you'll quickly get used to doing all the yelling out for stops, or for car doors the more you ride with big groups. Remember that "the ride" will have over a thousand people, not just 20 or 30... <BR/><BR/>Just remember that riding in a group any small safety concern is helpful. Soon you'll be chewing out those "newbies" that don't signal their turns, or announce their stops...beto dotôhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437698347529830444noreply@blogger.com
