    I was on the trainer for an hour last night, and now my ass is killing me.

    Though I've been lazy about biking lately, I did ride the trainer for an hour yesterday with no ill effects. If you are worried about your ass killing you I recommend you get a restraining order before it actually does.

      I haven't been riding much at all this year, so I think that is part of the problem.

        I GOT IT! I just got back from picking up my sweet new ride. They took $1200 cash, no tax added! DH compared me to a badger when I really want something. Thanks for all the input! Big grin

        I don't half-ass anything

                  I finally talked DH into a new road bike, but I know next to nothing about them. I don't ride tons so I don't need anything super nice but I want to be happy with my bike too. I have a road bike, but it was a $150 Walmart special and I hate it. A friend suggested a Cannondale CAAD8, but someone at a bike shop today had bad things to say about them. I don't think I can talk DH into spending more than about $800 - preferably less. Can someone please help with suggestions?

                  Thanks!

                   Hey this is my 1st post,glad to be here.I am a runner and cyclist and thought you might check out JAMIS.Very nice bikes in various price ranges,and overall a little cheaper than trek/specialized/fuji or most of the big names in road bikes...Good luck!

                      Sweet. That's a nice ride. I see the roads are dry. Have you given it a spin?

                            I have only ridden it once so far. I went out of town and it's been sub-30 degrees since. It should get up to 40 tomorrow so I'm hoping to ride then. Now I'm working on talking DH into a trainer! Big grin

                              That is GORGEOUS and looks way fast!  I think you have the same Mavic Aksium wheels that my bike has, too.  Those are really spiffy.

                               

                              What size did you end up with?
