So there was this beagle...
 

Haven't been around in a long while. Glad to see the boards are still up-and-running.

I've been commuting to school 20 miles a day (10 miles one way) on my 3 1/2-year-old REI 8-speed since the first week of June, 4 days/week, and riding an hour or two on days off to get endurance up. Did a bit of riding starting mid-May, too, to get in shape for the commute.

Down 25 lbs since mid-May, can now ride the mostly-downhill to leg in about 45 minutes, and about an hour on the mostly-uphill return journey.

Thank you to all who post good information here, and especially to those who understood I'm a just a bike-commuter, not a racer or a mountain-biker. :)

Again, glad to see folks still around and posting. Will try to get on once a week or so to keep current and pick up advice, tips, and tricks to being a better cyclist on the road, and to making the commute rides more enjoyable for myself.

What about a beagle?

It had a bloke called Darwin in it.

Eshvanu, keep it up :)

Keep it up, dawg.

But what about the Beagle???

The beagle was just there to get you to open the thread.:roflmao2:

Once upon a time, there was a standard thread about a commuter who raced someone on light-bike. No biggie, I'm just a commuter, not a racer.

Following shortly thereafter was a wonderfully creative thread regarding a commuter who raced a beagle! I figured folks around back when I joined would remember. :)

Edit - Thanks for the well-wishes.

Got linkie?
Sheesh, I can't even remember what I posted this morning.:innocent:

Things that make me go awwww and feel all warm and fuzzy inside

Beagles are the finest of all dog breeds.

Mine likes to pee and leave his feces in the middle of the lawn. :|

We've all been there before.

I got beagle poop thrown at me by a car tire this morning. It landed on my left shin and I wiped it away with the back of my right hand. Then I wiped it on my left sock. Are most beagles lefties or righties?

the Brits dropped a Beagle and it landed on Mars:
