Freaky.... That was probably me.
I did the Montauk century and the Lake Tahoe Century with TNT 2 years ago representing NY. It was a great experience. I eventually want to do Tahoe again or their Grand Canyon hike if they do that again.
I definitely want to hook up with you guys for a ride as soon as work and visiting guests and unpacking will allow. I havent found the box with my shoes yet....
Also, is anyone into night riding?

Disclaimer: I work for the Society so I am biased.
Team In Training, or TNT, is the world largest sports endurance program. The money raised goes to benefit leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research and services for patients such as patient financial support and patient education. These cancers are classified as blood cancers. Events are marathons, triathalons, cycling, walking and hiking. We have hike the grand canyon and hike Hawaii this year. When you see runners or cyclist around, you always see the purple shirts for TNT.
TNT staff assign riders with coaches, practices, nutritional guidance etc while you work toward your event. You train as a team. Athletes raise money, how much depends on the event and location. The money you raise goes toward your hotel stay, travel, victory party, etc and the left over goes toward the mission. Our local Society raised nearly a million dollars last year via TNT. It a way to compete in events that otherwise riders may not be able to afford to get to. As Easily Distracted mentioned we have a ride around Lake Tahoe. This is a century ride or 100 miles and we also have other events in Westerville and many triathalons (Disney, Chicago, St. Anthony's in FL).
Like I said sorry for the cheap plug, but we get calls everyday from cyclist looking to get involved that have never heard of TNT before. I am simply creating awareness :idea:

You Know You're Addicted to Cycling When...
Your surgeon tells you need a heart valve replacement and you ask if you have a choice between presta and schrader.
A measurement of 44-36-40 doesn't refer to the latest Playboy centerfold, but that new gear ratio you were considering for your Cobra.
A Power Bar starts tasting better than a Snickers.
The bra your significant other finds in your glove compartment belongs to your Trek and not the cute waitress at Denny's.
You wear your heart monitor to bed to make sure you stay within your target zone during any extracurricular activities.
The funeral director tells you "NO!" you can't ride your Cannondale in the funeral procession, even if you keep your headlight on.
You experience an unreasonable envy over someone who has bar end extenders longer than yours.
You're too tired for hanky-panky on a Friday night but pump out a five-hour century on Saturday.
Your wife tells you the only way she'll let you ride across the country is over her dead body and you tell her, "If that's the case, you'll be my first speed bump!"
You no longer require a hankie to blow your nose.
You have stopped even trying to explain to your spouse why you need two bikes...you just go buy another one and figure it will all work out in the divorce settlement.
You buy your crutches instead of renting.
You convert your car's brake and gas pedals to clipless.
You see nothing wrong with discussing the connection between hydration and urine color.
You find your Shimano touring shoes to be more comfortable and stylish than your gunboat sneakers.
You refuse to buy a couch because that patch of wallspace is taken up by the bike.
You have more money invested in your bike clothes than in the rest of your combined wardrobe.
Biker chick means black spandex, not leather, and a Marinoni, not a Harley.
"Four cheeseburgers and four large French Fries" is for you.
You see a fit, tanned, Lycra-clad young woman ride by, and the first thing you check out is her bicycle.
You empathize with the roadkill.
Despite all that winter fat you put on, you'll skim weight by buying titanium components.
You use wax on your chain, but not on your car.
Your mud guards are made out of milk jugs.
Your first course when you eat out is a large banana split.
When driving, you yell "On Your Left!" on passing another car.
You yell "Hole!" when you see a pothole while driving your car.
Your bike has more miles on its computer then your car's odometer.
You wear your riding gloves when driving your car.
You wear your bike shorts swimming.
You wear Charles River Wheelmen T-shirts all the time, including under dress shirts.
Your bikes are worth more than your car.
You buy a mini-van and immediately remove the rear seats to allow your bike(s) to fit.
When you move to a new area the first thing you look for is a bike shop.
You have more bike jerseys than dress shirts.
You take your bike along when you shop for a car - just to make sure the bike will fit inside.
You use the Yakima or Thule 'Fit Catalog' to pick your next new car instead of Consumer Reports.
You start yelling at cars to "hold your line."
You're comfortable bumping elbows with step vans.
You view crashes as an opportunity to upgrade components.
You clean your bike(s) more often then your car.
You're on the Board of Directors for a Bike Club.
You spend weeks during the summer spraying arrows on the sides of roads.
You and your significant other have and wear identical riding clothes.
You mount a $600 cap, on a $1,000 pickup truck, so your $3,000 bike doesn't get wet.
You can't seem to get to work by 8:30 AM, even for important meetings, but you don't have any problems at all meeting your buddies at 5:30 AM for a hammerfest.
You can tell your spouse, with a straight face, that it's too hot to mow the lawn and then bike off for a century.
You regard inter-gender discussion of genital pain as normal.
You know your cadence, but you have no idea what your speed is.
When driving your car you lean over the steering wheel, just like an aerobar.
Your car sits outside your garage because your garage is full of bikes and cycling gear.
You tailgate a semi-trailer to get the drafting effect.
You know your Bike Nashbar customer number by heart.
You hear someone had a crash and your first question is "How's the bike?"
You smile at your evening date, and she politely points out that you seem to have bugs in your teeth.
You actually get these jokes and pass them on to other friends who are addicted to cycling.

^^^ That was good! Especially anything about your bikes being worth more than your car or checking on the bike first after a crash. If you can stand up to check the bike out, you're fine.
Hey, is anyone up for a MTB ride this weekend?
Hey, is anyone up for a MTB ride this weekend?
I havent read the whole article, I was just checking for my father in-law. He has been riding for the past few months he has actually traveled to mich. to ride. I was wondering if there are any bike trails in the Columbus area? Nothing to off road, just nice long trails. If so could you post the name and directions or atleast a way for me to find out where its located. Thanks

I ride the Antrim park trail. Antrim park is really easy to find, it is on Olentangy River Road between Bethel Road and 161. You can take the trail south all the way through downtown to Frank Road (although I have never gone past Santa Maria in downtown). It is a nice trail. My daily ride is from the antrim park entrance to the downtown entrance area and back, my trusty bike computer tells me it is approx. 25 miles.
I will be hitting the trail today as well as tomorrow, if anyone wants to join me tomorrow, you are welcome to.
P.S. I know Porky rides another trail in the south side of columbus, Just go back to the first page of this thread and you will see Porky's post.

Findlay has some hills, not like southern Ohio but more than most of the surrounding flat lands
