Helmet? What is a helmet? Ever seen me wear one when I am skiing? I did turn my running hat backwards at one point. Does that count?

First, no bike shop within an hours drive from here and even that place is shakey. That is why I did the entire rebuild myself. I built many a bike so it was just a matter of ordering the right parts. I laughed because I like to restore to original...meaning "vintage" so I see. Heh. Hoods for the Dia Compe breaks had pretty much turned to goo! They should be in next week. Still deciding if I want to replace my pedals or not. Ones I have now are merely functional. No toe-clips.

Perhaps we'll talk about WHERE to "lube up" in a PM sometime. LOL! I just used a bit o' Body Glide that I have from running and have managed to crank out a few 10+ milers in the past few days.

So, lycra shorts have no padding on the inside? I have been using my running shorts. Can't seem to find an old pair of riding shorts with a bit of padding on the inside of the thighs. That helped. Especially as it is so hot here.

Tape, now, I currently have it wrapped in leather. Switch to cork? Adhesive or non. Currently, I am using non. Gloves, check. I'll have to look for all this online. Any specific brand of anything you endorse, do tell!

Tell the next, thanks for the pointers! Oh yeah, BTW, I am still running so I already have my runner's tan down perfectly. Yup, feet are as white as ghosts! LOL!!

I am proud of you sir Guido! lol

Well, first I reckon take the bike into your closest cycle shop and make sure it's set up correctly for your height, that can solve a lot of pain related probs lol. The saddle shouldn't really be to blame... Unfortunately you'll havet o toughen up your butt or give in to stupid looking shorts lol.. The padding in cycling shorts really helps and you naturally should lube up if you're doing long rides. Or whilst you're getting used to being back in the saddle. You could try out some sort of trendier looking mountain bike/downhill riding shorts that have the padding inside but look more like board shorts or we call them 'baggies' here. They'll be a bit more pricy or be brave and go for the lycra ones like we all do lol... At least the next time you go to the beach with your cycling short/sock and shirt tan other cyclists will look at you with that knowing look of respect lol. Tape is a bugger but I swear by it. Pain having to try to wind it on properly and when it gets sticky or really tacky you should replace but it should't be too often. Gloves are as important as a helmet in my books (you're wearing a helmet right?) Not only will it stop yo u sliding around the handlebars if you go down, you will be very thankful to still have skin on your hands... that takes forever to heal up if you don't have gloves on. The amount of times I've looked at my ripped up gloves and breathed a sigh of relief.... can't count them!

It gets easier on your body the more you ride and when running season starts up again you'll see your core is stronger and you'll feel stronger!

From my experience, anyone over the age of 21 who has not been on a bike in a long time will suffer loads of butt bone pain! Those seats are cruel.

Oh, you've seen it before. Move to Nowhere, TN and, yes, all this can be yours too! LOL!!!!!!

I must say, we do have some wicked croquet games here. Especially funny when the poison oak is in full bloom. Adds a new aspect to the game.

Hey Joe, you'd be proud of me. I've been biking like crazy lately. Decided that running in 100 degree F heat wasnt' enough so I refurbished my old road bike. Just figured out that it was now "vintage!" LOL! Old Nishiki Olympic 12 roadbike. Tried to restore everything back with original parts. So far, so good. Handlebar tape sucks, though. Cork the way to go? Also, I have ridden enough to say that my ass hurts! HAAAA! New seat or stupid biker shorts? Comeon now, tell the truth, do they make biker shorts that don't look stupid? Gloves worth it? Do tell.

I am just figuring out what the gears do. BWAHAAAAAAA! Pity the newbie!

 Howdy Do, kiddies!! How's every little thing?? Thought I would "stop by" before the Princess and I head out the door for the annual trek to  the beach. A little "R&R" for an aging Rocker! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Tickets went on sale for Priest's October show here in Vegas and they STILL have not sold out. Sad. I have had conversations with other fans here and the consensus is that there is just little or no interest this time. That actually bothers me because I do so love the guys. I wish them well but I know in MY heart that this is just NOT them...not the Priest I have known. But, enough depressing comments...

I trust all of you are ready for your summer. Vegas has yet to hit the 100 degree mark and we are well into JUNE!! VERY odd. We are currently in the 90's and holding. Nonetheless, the Princess has a new bikini and we are packing up for our trip. Something about laying on the beach that takes me to another time....memories of my childhood, I suppose.

I miss you guys very much. I think of you often. I will try to "pop in" again soon to see how you are all doing. Until then, take care of yourselves. Enjoy your summer and keep that Priest cranked up!!! MUCH love to you!!
