Is there anyone who'd be interested in doing a regular weekend road ride in Port Moody or PoCo/Pitt Meadows? I sometimes need a little motivation to get on the road bike, thought meeting someone might get me out there! Was thinking of moderate paced rides, more focused on miles than speed.

Oh man I wish I didn't live in Kamloops. I know how you feel. I love the road but good luck on me getting motivated to get out there. Most I do on my road bike is ride to work.

Sharon, I wish I could, but I have classes monday to friday, 9-4. I have some free time for road rides over the holidays though, if you'd like. Classes are done on the 16th, and I'm in town for all of it except for a few days right around the 25th.

Hello ladies,

I'm a guy, but do I qualify for road rides if I buy a t-mobile jersey?

Well I am pretty sure I couldn't keep up to Paul! But I'd gladly do some rides with you Wayne. That would be fun. I suck though.

Good, I'll post up towards the weekend…hopefully the snow clears up, not too sure about skinny tires on slushy roads!

My road bike is from the early/mid-90's, and has a women's saddle from the same era. Oddly enough, it's pretty comfortable. For my mtb I've been happy with the wtb speed she.

There's a women roadie site that has two forums devoted solely to bike saddles…most hated and favourite. Lots of discussion about things like best shorts and other riding related seat problems. I've found the site to be a great resource. Here's the links to the saddle forums.
