We're still here! I guess that the proliferation of web-based bike chat
sites has silenced KOM.
Thanks for the report! That was my "home" century a few years ago. What
a great place for riding that is! The quaint Gold Country towns, quiet
roads, clean air. The terrain is so varied, you can ride hard, pine
forested mountains, or rolling vineyards.
You had great weather (as usual). We still aren't getting summer in the
UK. It's 15 celcius, grey, windy and rainy. :(

I asked this question about 6 months ago and got two replies! I'm still here and my interest is as strong as it was in 1988 when I first rode the French Alps....
Hi, I'm in similar situation as Darren. Since my second child my cycling activities are very limited. The only difference is that I can not plan comeback at 40...
Well, I was 46 yesterday, and I'm under siege from an enormous mortgage on a large new (well, old and ramshackle and in need of *complete* remodelling) house. ...
Hi Jiri Remember that you're going to be losing your physical capabilities markedly over the period 43yrs to 50 yrs if you're not training hard. And...
Hi everyone, I'm back in Italy after a long NJ winter, lots of work, and little cycling--and no climbing, of course. Due to a series of negative circumstances...
I also wondered what had happened with such a passionate group of climbers. Sorry to hear how some have slipped a bit. I, on the other hand, have continued...
The riding here in Colorado just gets more fun every year as I get more familiar with the roads along the front range. There is always another climb to...
Good to hear from this group. Similar to some of the responses I too have not been riding as much due to nagging injuries. Doing some climbing in the US...

I'm doing more skiing than cycling at the moment. After 6 months of skiing (I was a complete beginner, not even having roller skated as a kid) I realise how...
Everyone is gone? Just rumbling through Yahoo memberships and checking on groups that I'd set on 'quiet'. Wouldn't you know that the last time I rode for more...
I haven't ridden 100 miles in well over two years. Riding to and from work is all I manage now. 30 miles a day means I'm not getting too fat, but I'm no longer...
Hi Nige, ONLY 30 mile a day! You really are old school in training terms, mind you whatever you did was pretty successful so I guess that it worked for you. ...
I'm also still here... Due to the constantly cold (coldest in 15 years) winter of Holland I'm off the bike for 3 months now... Trying to keep up in the fitness...
Hi all, I'm here too. Still spending the winters in NJ and the cycling season in NE Italy, leading rides for two cycling camps--though with the current...
OK - here's where I've been: http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=512173 Photos of a short, but sweet climb into the Santa Monica mountains. [Non-text...
Since I've been racing more the last 3 years, I've been less obsessed about climbing and exploring new climbs. But, the fall/winter always reminds me of...
I'm always cycling but at a 'cruising' than 'racing' effort, medium but not hard. My rides are now mainly on the flat as I can't be bothered to go to...
I am here. FaceBook seems to be the online place to hang out....maybe we could start a KOM group there. I'm still riding and loving the climbs here in...
The chatter does seem to have stopped on this list. But I, as I presume most, are still around, and riding in one form or another. In my case, from seeking...
Sometime last year I think I started this question. I wish this were a more active forum. In a few minutes I'm going to ride my bike up into the Santa Monica...
Was in SLO in Dec for my daughter's wedding. My girlfriend and I rented bikes from a great little shop in Atascadero, rode up the coast from Morro Bay to the...
Hello, I never really contributed any posts as such to this forum as it was more or less dead when I joined it.I live on the edge of the Alps and ride there, a...
