Hello Everyone24.11.2014

Hello everyone!

I’m starting up this blog to share my love for cycling. For those of you who read the weightweenies boards, I’m sure you’ve seen me, istigatrice around on the forums.

I grew up in Adelaide, down in Australia. We’re blessed (and sometimes cursed) with great(ish) riding weather year round. I’ve been into cycling since I was 14, and despite riding around on an 8kg road bike I was a serious weightweenie. Currently, I’m at university, which means I’ve got plenty of time for tuning, but not a lot of money to replace broken parts. I love cycling because it offers an escape from the busy weeks and allows my mind to relax. I’m going to write this blog to share both my knowledge and passion for cycling.

I have a strong background in the major sciences and mathematics. Not many cyclists have this background, but it helps in understanding why certain chain degreasers work better than others, or why traditional beliefs about hydration may be flawed. Now, I don’t want to touch some of these controversial topics in my first post, but stay tuned for my humble opinion.

Thanks for coming to check out this blog. I just thought I’d introduce myself, and the purpose of this blog and give you some insight into my background. Hopefully I've piqued your curiosity on what’s to come.

    I constantly spent my half an hour to read this blog’s content every day along with a cup of coffee.

    First of all I want to say terrific blog!
    I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself
    and clear your thoughts before writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out.

    I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are generally wasted simply just trying to figure
    out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
    Thank you!

      I wouldn’t say you’ve wasted the first 10-15 minutes wondering where to begin. It’s important to plan these posts, so they are coherent and make sense as a whole. Spend the time planning your ideas through fully before you tap away at the keyboard. Once you have an idea get it down, and review what you think of the idea the next day. You should spend as much time planning as you do writing.

      Hope this helps 🙂

    I’m not sure why but this weblog is loading
    incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or
    is it a problem on my end? I’ll check back later and see if
    the problem still exists.

      Might be a problem with the high amount of traffic on the starbike server. Definitely check back later.
