Doesn't fit in the other forums, post it here
We have a medium-sized mutt who appears to be partly herding dog of some sort; she's 6 and has tons of energy but she's not getting as much exercise these days since our son arrived.
She seems like a good candidate, but is there anything special I need to worry about? Aside from keeping her hydrated and not runnning her over. I was thinking of Sals and SME; I dunno if she'd keep up on sustained fast sections like at Trex, but not sure.
did you lose it? :O
I am looking to purchase a mountain bike for commuting/trails.
For my personal details:
19 years old
130 lbs
5' 8"
I am willing to spend around $300 and do not care if the bike is used.
This is one bike I am looking at:

Yep it's hard to believe but the VMB Treasurer (I could be wrong, but I think he's held this position for VMB's entire history) is turning 50 this weekend.
I like to tell the story of how Lori and I first met Greg in person. So please ask me sometime. It's a great story!
Before you spend more money upgrading your bikes, you should go get fit to your bike. John at Cutter's Bike Shop fit my mountain bike to me back in early Spring. I just went back for my follow-up on the MTB and he also did the fit on my 'cross bike. He uses the Specialized BG (Body Geometry) program. He does a full physical appraisal and then goes to work on fitting your bike to your body. With some cleat adjustment and using shims in the foot bed of my shoe he corrected a pedaling issue I have had since my knee surgery back in 2008.
Update: Tonight's 7:30 P.M. membership meeting at Hello Burrito is cancelled. The next meeting will be Tuesday, August 30th. Time, location and agenda to follow.
Wishing a Very Happy Birthday to Jen Stortz! 
Just returned from a week at Kingdom Trails in East Burke VT and thought I would share a few pics.
Hey all... did a nice ride at Walking Purchase today. I hit the trail head at the lower lot and climbed up to the blue trail and eventually made it back to the red trail. Sometime before the red trail crosses over Constitution Rd., my Fox Elbow/Forearm guards must've ejected from my camelback... they are pretty old and a little beat up but they have saved my arms A LOT and if anyone comes across them, it would be great if you could collect and email me. rtyska@gmail.com
Thanks!
