MinggI looked up plane tickets and its $500 ):
dkirseyou know what that means? ROADTRIP
lol i'm driving by myself so far...hope i don't die driving alone for like 8 hours through the most boring part of the fuckin US
MinggIt's like 30 hours though/: haha. I don't think I can justify that):
dkirseokay so yeah, i agree. 30 hours is a bit much for a couple movie premieres and discounted gear....but it would be dope as fuck if you could make it! you definitely have to make it out to Tahoe girl!
MinggOne of these days! I'm gonna be in SLC for a while in January if you wanna shred!! Unfortunately I dont make much money at windells and won't be able to travel much this winter. I do want to get out to Tahoe soon though!
taylornickyI was told to drink a shit ton of water before this ultra sound and I have to pee soooooo bad
B.Aussieomg is it a pelvic ultrasound? I needed to pee so bad I had to get a friend to drive me there and every bump in the road was agony. I ended up asking the nurse if there was anyway to get me in sooner as I was almost crying haha
dkirse(assuming there's other girls on here who are 5ft-5'3)
if any of you ride a road bike, do you guys get a 48cm frame or a 49-51cm frame? I want to be comfortable but i also don't want to ride a kid's bike lol help meee
taylor_gangNot sure if it helps but I'm 5'7 and I ride a 52.
taylornickyYes!!!!!! It was basically painful I had to pee so bad! And then she squirted the gel stuff of my stomach and it was warm.. I was like you've got to be kidding me! Hahahahaha
B.Aussiehahaha worst! I had the creepiest guy too. And I had to get him to stop half way through after he'd done the bladder stuff to pee then came back and did the internal stuff. (Which btw my doctor did not warn me it was internal so that was a rude shock to top it off) haha Hope everything is all good!

CyanicenineI don't have a road bike so feel free to ignore everything I'm about say, but if road bikes are anything like mountain bikes the sizing and size chart can be very misleading. The bike size measurement is usually referring to your seat tube length. You'd think it would be distance from the saddle to the bars or maybe pedals to the bars, but nope, it's the seat tube (yeah the thing that holds the most adjustable part on any bike), wtf. This video talks about some of the weirdness of bike geometry and measurements and why they are all not really that useful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MnZVVuuByY
What you really care about is "reach" but not every manufacturers lists it, and it's not always standardized in how it's measured when it is. On the upside you can change the reach of any bike dramatically by swapping out stems. Stems on road bikes are several inches long so you can potentially gain tons of reach even if the bike is initially too large.
Lastly I'm 5'2 and I've found medium and small bikes fit me best with some small bikes feeling waay too cramped, and x small being out of the question. You really just have to try before you buy, since there is very little standardization. I would error on the side of larger rather than smaller due to being able to throw a smaller stem on there if necessary.

Jane6Having feelings for someone you shouldnt have feelings for is the worst. I feel like dying.

dkirseThere's something weird going on with my body right now. Lowkey think i have to get an ultrasound.
I hate being a girl.
taylornickyWhat's goin on girly? I just had one done.
DaphI haven't really bought new clothes in like 2 years and today I spent way too much money but I have so many new adorable things in my wardrobe now!
nsfairybreak em' out at first chair fest and we'll raise some hell
taylor_ganghow do womens armada snow pants run sizes- wise? i'm like a size 8 in jeans. Probably would lean toward a large.. does that sound right? My pants now are medium sagas (mens obviously) and they're too big and not waterproof anymore haha
MinggI also am a size 8 and my armadas are a Large(perfect to a little big depending on what I wear underneath) and I have medium saga pants which fit perfect on my thighs if I wear something underneath but a little big on my waist.
taylor_gangok sweet. do you have one of the slimmer versions by any chance? i'm looking at the shadow pant.
taylornickyoh my god i just biked 15 miles after running and why did I do that when I'm so tired and i really hope i can sleep tonight and i have a stupid essay to write and i want to quit my job and i want a giant glass of wine and i cant because of that essay and i also need to figure out this class i'm on the waitlist for and this is my brain currently
