[RC] need a couple of Angie articles - Karen Bratcher
I loaned my old Trail Blazer magazines ('98 to now)
to a friend, and when I got them back I went though them tearing out all
the articles I wanted to save and file. I remember two of Angie McGhee's
"Lighter Side of the Trail" articles that are missing, so I guess some issues
got lost. I'd be happy to pay someone's photocopying and postage costs if
they could send them to me?
1. had the line about squeezing into a small
pair of bicycle tights causing the side stripe to become approximately the width
of a one-lane road :-) (Hey -- I resemble that remark!!) I believe
this was the article about getting started in endurance, moving from an Appy to
an Arab, and transitioning from jeans to tights.
2. "Fit to Continue" for humans... how WE
would never pass a post-ride blood drug test because of all the
anti-inflammatories and painkillers we take to get through a ride... asking
others for them at a ride and coming up with a hatful of pills... "ya want that
straight or in a cocktail?"
Thanks to anyone who can help! Off to my
early Sunday morning conditioning ride... a friend has a paper route so I meet
her when she gets done at 5:30 AM and we head up the mountain by her
house. So inspiring to have a friend crazy enough to be willing to do
that!
So bummed that it's getting dark earlier and
earlier, 8:00 PM it's full dark now. I just got a ton of reflective stuff
from REI for the ponies and me, I'll see how well it works on my evening rides
this week. Vest, sash (around horse neck), leg bands (for the horses), arm
bands (me and maybe browband for horse), and a slow moving vehicle symbol
:-D
