I would do it only if I felt that Bethel would be canceled, otherwise I'd be driving all over the place. Next week (before Easter Sunday) I should be there, weather permitting. I should be there the last week of the race too, the week after Bethel ends. I hope people have a good race there today.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-68486610540161704332008-03-13T23:35:00.000-04:002008-03-13T23:35:00.000-04:00Another great post - with some good tips on how to...Another great post - with some good tips on how to break up the monotony of the trainer. I can totally empathize with the lack of group rides since I moved too. Hopefully that'll change soon - but in the meantime, I can sometimes get out of work early and meet you up your way...<BR/><BR/>Hope you had a good loop ride.

I could barely understand what people were saying when I was on the outside - even with the music off, the earbud was enough to distort words.<BR/><BR/>But I can hear cars and such pretty well with an earbud in, even with music piping through it at a low volume.<BR/><BR/>And you're right, looking around all the time helps.Akihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00430651087205849350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36139180.post-10308563890198856352008-03-13T15:15:00.000-04:002008-03-13T15:15:00.000-04:00Nice to see someone with a lot more experience tha...Nice to see someone with a lot more experience than me also doing the right-ear-only headphones trick on long road rides. I really don't think it adds that much danger, especially if you're as neurotic about looking over your shoulder as I am after a year of commuting in the city.Colin Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289923497258059725noreply@blogger.com
