Is it possible no one has posted here since November? Or am I just not receiving e-mail from KOM anymore? Weather in Los Angeles, even in winter, is often...
We do need to get/keep this site going if at all possible. Dave, I will be in S Cal in two weeks and want to see if I can ride Fargo Street with my road bike...

Dave, I think you would be correct in saying that there has not been any posts on this list serve for a while. I was wondering if somehow I got "dropped" off...
Frank, ... Which day was that? Fred S. tells me you're the one who puts together a list of the event rides in the NC area. Is that correct? Is the Cashiers...
Hi Nate. I created a list of local/regional event rides and posted them with a few online groups here in western NC. The Cashiers ride is probably one of the...
We're all still here! I must have got in about... Hmmmm, 2.5 hours on an average workday, 5 days a week = 12.5 + at least 4 hours at the weekend = 16.5 * 4 =...
Well, Nigel, looks like you are ready for a quick start in 2005. As for myself,I have done 2 good training rides (2-3 hours) this year, plus maybe 5-6 1-hour...
Hi all, I was kinda wondering how we could go so long with no postings too. Good to hear you're all still out there. I'm one of the rare ones evidently who...
... Out the house 6:30 to 6:50 (mostly!), and in the office door at 8:50. After work, I'm just limited by weather, battery life (both real, electric battery...
Karol, Actually, I envy you and Francois the snow. I've managed to get out three times on x-c skis this year and am chomping at the bit for more. Yes, I know...
Here in Colorado we have had some good weather and it has been possible to get out quite a bit, though the descents can be sketchy with all of the sand and ...
Glad to know everyone's still here. I rode a fair amount last month and was spinning with my club once a week (I'm in the US now). I was feeling good,...
Karol, This part of the southeastern US (in the mountains) never gets too hot. I do not turn on my air conditioner all summer. In addition to that, one can...
Thanks Frank, Not too hot in summer and not too cold in winter. Sounds nice! Your attachements must've been removed by the yahoogroups mail server. You can...
Yeah, I saw the attachments did not go through. I created a directory in the \General Climbing Inoforation\ called \Climb Profiles\. You can find two profiles...
... Were any of the roads washed out from the recent storms? One of my favorite rides is in the nearby San Gabriel Mountains, taking the Angeles Crest Highway...
... I am pretty sure at least one major road - along the east fork - in the San Gabes is still in serious trouble; Topanga Canyon was shut down for several...
Nigel, you're obviously dedicated! I too will be doing the early season hilly's and the odd 2-day but I'm struggling to get the training required due to work...
... None of my business really, but it looks like you need to invest in quality training and forget about quantity. Congratulations to the parents ... and to...
Hi Darren. Was going to point out an training event going up your favorite hill in the Lakes in May but have just learnt they've closed entries. Nige, you...

... I might do a 100, I won't bother with a 12, they're freakshows. I'm really targetting Matlock this year. I have a training weekend coming up this weekend....
I know it is flat - but my daughter is in school in Brussels and I am going to see her from March 8 - 15. Are there any early cycling races that take place in...
I've been trying to prepare myself to take back the record for most number of ascents in one day on the Fargo Street Hill Climb (which will take place Sunday,...
I like your Feb 17 picture. That is STEEP. Lovely pictures of spring in California. (sigh...) I'll post up a picture of myself climbing our local horror,...
I rode Fargo 2 weeks ago (along with Baxter which is parallel). If I remember correctly Dave rode this hill 11-12 times which is quite amazing. Mt bike...

... Way to go, John! Some people think the east facing side of Baxter (on the Echo Park side) is steeper than Fargo. I don't think I've ever riden any...
