Hello all,

Have been reading and learning from the forum for a little while now. Just wondering how some photos are bigger than 100 kb. Most of my photos are 125 k +/- ... how to change them to smaller resolution or to make them viewable here? Any suggestions?
I am a road cyclist with about 2,300 miles this year but Michigan weather and road conditions will slow that down immensely soon. Any one interested in riding please feel free to contact me. Take care and ride safe.

If you want to do some oakland county riding, I highly reccomend you ride with these guys: http://www.lmb.org/wsc/ I do.

About resizing images, just put them in a photobucket account, then hyperlink them. But if you want to post them as attachments for some reason and need to shrink them, the way I do it is to open the picture in paint, hit edit and select all, then copy and paste it into word, shrink it down, copy and paste it back into paint, then save it. Of course, photoshop would make things much easier, but as of yet I still don't have photoshop.

If you have photo editing software, there will be a feature that lets you adjust the size of the picture. Click on the help menu and enter 'size'. Save your new image under a modified filename to preserve your original.

I do ride most often with Clinton River Riders and frequently find Wolverines in the mix. Would never turn down a chance to ride with them either. Riding the Blue Water Ramble this weekend, hope to see you there.
