Okay. So I am not a triathlete and am not familiar with tri bikes, however, I have a special someone that I am buying a tri bike for for Christmas. Can someone tell me the basics on what to look for, what he needs in a tri bike and any other info that may be helpful in my purchase. He has been training for about 3 or so years and has been using a regular road bike. He NEEDS a better bike!

We're hosting our annual Triathlon/Duathlon on Sunday March 8, 2009. This event is the first triathlon of the 2009 season and there's an opportunity to save a bit of money if you register before the early bird date... We also have various volunteer positions that cater to all experience levels and would really appreciate any support!

Another out of towner coming in for Saturday's SF Triathlon at Treasure Island. I haven't rented a car yet and would rather not, but does anyone have info on how to get to T.I. on race morning without a car? Carpool? Public Transit? Cab? (Remember, I have to lug alon the bike so public transit racks may not be available if others are planning the same).

I just wanted to let everyone know that the 4th Annual Darien Sport Shop ITPMAN Triathlon is coming up September 27 in

I BOUGHT THIS TRIATHLON BIKE TO TRAIN FOR AN IRONMAN NEXT YEAR. I'M GIVING UP BECAUSE AFTER SEVERAL SWIM LESSONS I STILL CAN'T SEEM TO SWIM MORE THAN 1 LAP. THIS BIKE HAS ABOUT 600 MILES ON IT AND I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I'LL INCLUDE MY FIZIK TRI SADDLE WITH IT. NO PEDALS OR EXTRAS. IT'S A 61CM, I'M 6'4" AND IT FITS ME GREAT, I THINK WOULD FIT SOMEONE 6'1" TO 6"6" PROBABLY. IMFL 2009 www.ironmanadventure.blogspot.com www.TRImapper.com www.TRIjuice.com
