John, Have the cute girls reached thier limits with you or just with the ride in general? Maybe they are not trying to push you over but maybe just hang on to your back pocket. Or maybe they've just reached thier limit with men in general and are taking it out on you. Either way- good luck!

Mary Margaret, You have a bike handling skills class this evening and I was wondering if you could give a list of the topics you are covering on these nights. I of course know everything already, and I believe I have been telling my parents this since early adolesence, but maybe others are interested as well. If you are looking for a list, I have been tossing a few ideas around for titles: 1. "Always spit to the right" or "Make new friends as they pass" 2. "How to pee while cycling" also known as "Why bib shorts suck" 3. "How to ride in a pace line" or "It is easier to keep up than to catch up" 4. "How to survive a high speed crowded turn" or "Fear is a valid killer" 5. "Road rash first aid" and maybe "how to carry a first aid pack and still look cool" 6. "How to recover from a cute girl 'reaching her limit' and trying to push you over" 7. "How to slow down fast riders by begin discussions about their particular brand of shifter" 8. "Riding over road debry" or "Why are they throwing things at me?" In case this email angers please understand that I am not responsible for half of what I say and the other half is what lawyers are for. I'm definitely catching the 'reaching her limit' class, that would have saved me more than once. Thanks, John John Buren Southerland Principal Consultant Southerland Consulting, Inc.
