Who knew when I started this cycling adventure six years ago, that I would stumble into an amazingly broad experience that combines nearly all of life's pathos and ethos, is incredibly complicating and sophisticated, yet also very simple and fulfilling.
Just recently, I began to think of all of the fascinating people I have had the privilege of riding bikes with in these last six years. Some of them, I have met briefly while pedaling alongside of them on a Sunday ride never to see again, some I have become very closely linked with and still others, I run into off and on on the roads of Arizona yet seldom create plans to ride with formally. Thinking of these people one day after a particularly enjoyable ride, I realized how many stories have been shared on these wheeled adventures. It's remarkable how I have learned some of the most interesting things about people I barely know and in many cases, rarely see in any other capacity except while riding bikes. It's true, many of these rides last three, four or more hours, and as social beings, we have the compulsion to share who we are. And the various shapes that takes, is even more compelling!
Today, I rode along with a woman I have known a short time. She shares her time among Arizona and another place that's colder as many Arizonans do. She's an uplifting sort and very kind. Today, in the few moments we rode together, we talked about how so many of us have things to overcome in our lives. Like many of the people I have met while riding, she is a former runner and is now gaining her strength as a cyclist, although clearly, running still courses through her veins as her very first love. She shared with me two very distinct and very personal things. First, that years ago when her son was diagnosed with a chronic illness, she found it difficult to open her eyes in the morning, get out of bed, move through her day, live her life. Second, that a year ago, a hate crime was perpetrated on her son after they believed him and a friend to be gay and decided to beat the hell of him.
I expressed my sincere sorrow at these tragedies. I said I have come to believe that life is hard. So hard, that during the times that it isn't hard, we must drink the full elixir of every moment. She then asked me the question, Why do we think we should be immune to these difficulties of life?
I said I believed we spend those moments that life is good, expecting it to remain that way and that these painful things that come our way will happen to someone else, or not at all. All are but fairy tales that we conjure up and they keep us sane for most of the time.
This lovely woman's son is healthy today and has survived that excruciating experience. She said that while his beautiful face was repaired well, the one scar that mars his forehead doesn't trouble him. She said he told her that maybe it makes him look a little tougher. I thought about that statement today as I moved through my day. Life's trials can make us appear tougher to the people we meet after...It's when those scars we carry make us so tough that nothing can penetrate who we are, that we become damaged by our trials rather than made richer and stronger by them.

FIVE Bicycle Resolutions for 2012 - Number Five
Resolve to clean your chain a minimum of every other ride.
One of the most costly components of your bike is your cassette. If your Dad is anything like my step dad, you have been cajoled, lectured to, pestered and demo'd the value of having your car's oil changed every 3500 miles. Your bike's cassette is another system--just like your car's engine-- where dirt, grit and grime can wreak havoc on moving parts.
Get yourself an inexpensive, lint-free towel that you can get dirty without fretting whether the spray stain remover can tackle it or not in the washer. Keep it handy, like wherever you store your bike or your riding shoes etc. When you bring your bike in, give your chain a quick wipe down. This quick and simple act will help reduce the dirt on your chain and therefore, your cassette, preserving its condition for longer.
Additionally, about once a month, don't forget to wipe your chain down really well, and then clean it with a mild detergent, such as Simple Green. Allow it to dry, and then be sure to lubricate each link on your chain with a good dry bike oil. After you have treated each link, take a clean, lint-free towel and wipe off excess oil; the oil has soaked into the links where you want it. Removing excess oil from the outside of the links will help prevent the oil from becoming a magnet for grit and dirt on the clean chain you just prepared.

You gotta have a dream...
There was a time about 20 years ago that I got into a crazy multi-level marketing scheme with my then husband. In retrospect, besides being very clean (there were terrific soap products involved) the leadership outfit or 'upline' of the group encouraged us to read positive books and listen to tapes of speakers from the organization who had ACHIEVED and were purportedly rolling in cash.
Anyway, the soap-selling business was just one of his crazy ideas, but the one thing I never regretted was the reading. And, most of those books were written about positive thinking, learning how to avoid pitfalls or negativity and nearly every single one of them discussed setting goals. When learning to road ride, goals can be your friend and can be the impetus to improve your speed, your endurance and increase how serious you are about becoming a better cyclist.
Setting a goal as a cyclist is really no different than setting any other kind of goals. To steal one of the tools I read in those books, goals should be SMART - Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic and Timely. These elements will help you get where you want to go with your riding. If you are a new cyclist, talk to someone who is patient and experienced to help you arrive at your first cycling goals. To help illustrate this, I will walk through setting an initial goal. As I write this, I think it's time for ME to set some new cycling goals...Hmmm.
OK..moving forward.
So you now ride twice a week and your longest ride has been 30 miles. If increasing your distance is your first goal. Choose a distance that you want to reach. A metric century or 100 kilometers or 62 miles is a good goal for starters. This meets the Specific criteria as well as the Measurable one. You'll know whether or not you reach it or not because it's easy to determine that distance.
Since many organized rides offer metric centuries, you can choose one of them or visit www.mapmyride.com to locate a route near you that is save and meets the distance criteria you are seeking. Find one you like and keep that route saved somewhere.
Establishing the metric century goal is definitely Achievable but it's also important to view WHEN it's achievable. Some fit cyclists can ride a couple of times and achieve a 62-mile ride. They may have a sore tush and experience cramping and aches. However, others cannot achieve that in just a few training rides and even if they could complete it, they certainly wouldn't enjoy it.
Keep in mind REALISTIC and TIMELY as you set the date. If you are brand new to exercise and riding, completing a metric century in three weeks when you can only train one day a week, isn't realistic. Putting a date on your goal is essential though. So if you are brand new, consider that you will need to ride no less than two-three times a week for about three to four months to prepare your bottom, your lungs, your legs, and the rest of your body for that 62-mile ride. If you can ride only on weekends, you will probably need to add another month or two to your training.
To recap:
Specific - Metric century - 62 miles
Measurable - 62 miles, plotted on a map
Achievable - With the training, yes!
Reasonable - Coupled with the appropriate training schedule, check!
Timely - Set the date and ride, baby, ride!

It's like falling off a horse, you have to get back on...
Despite the fact, that I have logged under 200 miles in the last two months, I finished 65 miles at the Ride For the Children this past weekend. I was shocked that riders finished after me cause I was pretty sure Peggy and I were the last riders. What's worse, we snuck out early. Not by much, but we wanted to avoid that mass start of tangled wobbly, hurried, bicycles. (It's like being in a crowded movie theater and someone yells FIRE!) It was a wise choice.
The hills were not as imposing as I remember and luckily the hazy April Arizona sun hid from sight for much of our meandering trip through beautiful Paradise Valley. We window shopped the behemoth homes and dallied with the camel at the six-mile rest stop since its portajohn beckoned without a single person there. (The portajohns at the start were like turnstalls with rows of coffee-laden riders waiting to get in. At one point, I couldn't believe we were actually back together on a charity ride once again. I am so completely and fully charmed to be able to be doing that again.
So it's time to get out and get my speed back up to par, chalk up more miles on each of my tires and look for the beginners who are seeking answers to riding as the road calls to them.
It's rebirth on a bike. I have more of a zeal and passion than ever before to share the love of bikes.

Having just attended Charlayne's peddling clinic last week, I practiced some of the drills she showed us. I imagined I was unable to pedal downward, only upward. I could feel my cadence rising higher each time I remembered to do this. It's a great lesson to practice in your quest to round out your pedal stroke and increase your might while riding.
Each hour as we pedalled and moved closer to completing our ride, I thought little of our experience last August. Instead, I enjoyed the scenery, hoped the uphill would end soon and the wind would wait a while to fully engulf us--all of the things I would have done before. Occasionally, I felt that pinching pain in my ankle as a little reminder that I am not past the physical remnants of the accident and once, had to remove my compression stocking and release my swelling foot from the confines of my cycling shoe. And, the firey pain in my shoulder flared up as if to try to distract me from the goal. But the worst reminder was the moment the Bud Light truck zoomed a little too close as we were crossing the 101 at Pima Road. It's fierce, rolling pairs of rolling tires cause me to flinch as I felt its draft as it stormed by. I recovered quickly but it was unnerving all the same.

Redemption looks like a red tricycle...
I lie in bed and all I can think about is cycling again.
I know I should be thinking about work. I know I should be sleeping. I know I should be contemplating many things that are more significant than my butt on a bike saddle. But I can't.
I imagine the Arizona sun playing hide and seek among the jagged mountains at South Mountain Park at the end of the day and zooming down San Juan Road toward the ramada.
I think of the group riding up to telegraph pass in Ahwatukee, many of us mashing as the sinewy men careen past us yelling GOOD JOB!
I remember the morning chill and the site of my friend's blinking light slowly heading toward me at our regular meeting spot for our morning 17 miles and I can think of nothing else.
It was these seductive thoughts that lured me to the garage a few days ago to pump the tires on my Trek hybrid and open the garage, strap on my old helmet and think to myself, it's time.
The air was cool and the neighborhood was quiet. I swung my battered left leg over the saddle and stood for a moment. What I imagined would be perfectly natural, felt foreign to me. My "Fresh and Easy" bike as I had named it with it's black canvas pannier on the back for shopping at the neighborhood grocery felt awkward, heavy and, well, frightening.
I took a deep breath and slid onto the seat. Instead of feeling like I had slipped on a comfortable familiar glove, I felt shaky, wobbly and scared. At the end of the driveway, I nearly fell and slammed down the wrong foot and felt lucky to be upright. Feeling so foolish, I swung my leg over again and dejectedly walked the bike back to its spot in the garage. I could swear the bike was sulking in shame over having caused the whole disaster.
At first, I didn't want to tell anyone what I had done. With so many well-wishers offering encouragement, I didn't want to broadcast what a dismal failure this first endeavor on a bike had been. But, I did share it with a friend who had, herself, been in two accidents, each time breaking her pelvis and also her wrist the second time. She assured me that this was a natural feeling and that it wouldn't last. Her encouragement went one step further, she offered me a loaner red trike that her significant other had in his shop.
The very next day, I was at the shop plopped atop the vintage 70s adult tricycle. Although it presents its own set of challenges of turning and managing it, the red tricycle is just what I needed. Riding the wind trainer is amazing because it feels real and spinning on the stationary bike helps me work up a sweat, but this is real outdoor movement. I felt alive as I wound around the parking area.
Belief is back and my failure, redeemed. I can hardly wait to ride it tomorrow...
I know it's only a matter of time before I can feel the feeling of clipped in feet and wind whooshing by me at 18 mph. But until then, my borrowed red trike will give me the exercise and the confidence I need to move in that direction.

Women Cyclist Shifting Tips - Basics, Nevers and Always for Girls Gone Riding
July 7th Wine Women and Wheels Shifting Clinic at Global Bikes in Gilbert, AZ
Learning to shift is among the most intimidating of skills when first learning to road bike. When heading out on a flat beginner ride, there are not too many opportunities for dangerous mistakes. It's typically when riding steeper grades that being in the correct gear could cause some headaches or even a fall
Here are some basic shifting tips to get you started:
Most of your shifting will occur using your right shifter, or rear gears.
The left or front shifter is used for bigger or more intense shifting when heading up a signficant grade. Most riding will be done in the middle ring of a triple or the larger sprocket of a double or compact double.
The biggest sprocket in the back is the one that produces the easiest pedaling.
While the largest ring in the front produces faster or harder pedalling, the large ring in the back is your easiest gear.
Gears CLOSEST TO the bike are easier. As they move further away from the bike fram, harder.
It's easier to remember this way, but you will see that the smaller ring in the front is closer to the bike and the larger ring in the back is closer to the frame.
The smallest sprocket in the back allows you to move the fastest.
When you are in your smallest, or highest number gear in the rear (usually #7, #8 or #9), it takes more pressure to move the pedals, but you can move along more quickly.
Shifting of the right (rear) will occur when pedaling is becoming too easy to too difficult. The shift will permit you to adjust to this change in terrain.
Adjust as you are moving along smaller terrain changes.
Shifting the left shifter makes a big impact, and shifting the right shifter is to fine tune your gear selection.
When you anticipate a hill ahead, don't wait until you have engaged the hill to shift, anticipate it and shift while pedalling softly before you reach the hill.
Triple vs. compact doubles – If you care what racers think of your bike, go with a compact double, if you don’t care, get a triple.
Even with a triple, a cyclist will not utilize ALL of these gear configurations, but if you don't care about weight, it's good to know the gears are there.
Rule of Thumb – Use Cogs 1-4 with small ring; Cogs 5-8 with the Large Ring.
Keep the chain as straight as possible; it can put too much strain or stretch on the chain if it becomes too angled. Never ride Large ring front/large ring back or small ring front/small ring back.
Use your fingers, save your legs!
Many new riders, particularly former runners tend to stay in harder gears and 'mash' as they ride. Using shifting and doing more spinning is easier on your legs and provides a more aerobic workout rather than building muscles!

Trying to diet but still riding your bike? If you cycle, you gotta eat...
If you want to perform well while cycling, a few celery sticks and a half cup of cottage cheese won't cute it.
Watch this video to learn more about what to eat when you are riding.

Ready yourself AND your bike for the summer heat
If you're like me and ride year-round, you have probably noticed that you and your bike perform differently in different weather. That's why it makes sense to take a few extra steps to prepare you and your trusty steed for the summer weather.
Let's start with the easier of the two, your bike.
If you haven't had your bike in for a tune-up after the months of winter riding, it's a good time to do that.
Here are points to either check out yourself if you are well-schooled in bike maintenance or to have your favorite diagnostic bike shop review it for you:
Check out your brakes. Look for the grooves in your brake pads. If the grooves are completely gone and the surface is smooth. Time to replace them.
Assess your tires. The life of road tires vary from tire to tire. If you do not feel comfortable with this assessment, get the help of a professional you trust. Obviously, the road surfaces are dramatically hotter during the summer months and having sound tires is an important element anytime but even more importantly through the heat of summer.
Check out your chain. There are different types of these gauges out there and none are very expensive. However, if you don't have one, check with your bike mechanic and have him measure your chain to be sure it is not stretched. The measurement takes about 30 seconds. If your chain is stretched, it should be replaced. Cost is minimal and you can even learn to do this yourself, but that's another blog entry.
Clean bike? If you are recreational rider who likes doing long, charity rides or you simply spend longer rides with bottles of sport drinks and other nonwater liquids in your bottles, chances are you have dribbled some of that sugary substance when putting your bottles back into their cages. Check your frame, particularly on the very bottom, underneath and below where your bottles are stored. Build-up from this can gum up your shifting cables and create slugglish shifting or worse, can cause a cable to snap. Use a mild solution of Simple Green and gently sponge this area until that build-up is dissolved and can be rinsed away.
A good diagnostic bike shop is worth its weight in gold. After a recent trek up to the towers at South Mountain, a problem arose with my middle ring gear. I discovered with the help of a couple of Gilbert's Focus Cyclery riders who were also headed up to the top, that a gear tooth had bent and was causing my chain to slip. After that ride, I took my bike to the nearby shop and commuter support facility, The Bicycle Cellar in Tempe, to have it looked at. John Romero, shop owner and bicycle mechanic, reviewed the problem for me. Within a day, he was able to repair the gear tooth and cleaned and lubed my drive train. It was also he who noticed the build-up of drink run off and promptly cleaned it up. The next ride proved to be terrific with amazingly smooth and noiseless shifting.
