Anyone out there do any boating? Dragonboating season is gearing up - should be out on the water in a couple weeks - I can't WAIT! I also enjoy kayaking (touring rather than whitewater - I'm a big chicken ) Just wondered if anyone else here was on the water at all...

the new season of The Ultimate Fighter starts on April 5th. this season is the lightweights. i think the lightweight division is one of the most talented and exciting. i'm already hyped up for the finale when the coached BJ Penn and Jens Pulver will have their rematch. i recognize a couple of the fighters in this season. one is Nate Diaz, the younger brother of Nick Diaz. he seems to be a lot like Nick in attitude. we'll see how his talent is. i alson noticed Joe Lauzon, who already has a contract i believe. he already has been on a PPV and owns a win over one of the coaches, Jens Pulver. what is he doing on this show? who's gonna be watching? The Ultimate Fighter…

I don't know if this will work here, but it code from myspace. It works on myspace, so you may have to copy the code and paste it somewhere in myspace to watch it. It's a Michael Jordan Highlight Video! Michael Jordan: The Legend .. .. You can also go to www.myspace.com/veganbodybuilding and watch it on my profile

I always used to tell people you can get a decent bike NEW for just a few hundred bucks, which you still can. The components at the low end are getting better, and improvements to the high-end stuff always filters down. But what's irritating is that all the GOOD stuff is getting so much more expensive. Why are new carbon framed bikes all over $2,000, most for thousands more? And even those have low- to mid-range components? I remember when you could get one for $1,000 back in the early '90's. I, in fact, had one. Ok, potter, tell me I'm wrong. I want a new carbon frame for $1,000.

Team Vegan Portland needs more members to field a very visible running and/or cycling team. There a whole lot of events coming up so join us, no experiance needed. Just the need to have a good time and to train with other vegan athletes.

Does anybody here counts their ''daily'' steps? I've never tried doing that, but that seems helpful for people training their legs. And If you do use a pedometer, how many steps do you do everyday??

I ride a bianchi pista with drop outs. After about 20 minutes or so my wrists start to really bother me, and they will be sore for days afterward. I am considering trying bull horn handlebars over the drop outs. Do you think this will help any? Also any other suggestions are appreciated as I am rather new to the cycling thing.

As some of you may know I am a cyclist. I am 4 weeks into a tough trianing program to get me ready for some really hard races I have coming up. I am a raw vegan and I am encountering some problems. That is, i am constantly hungry, tired and I am not recovering well from my hard workouts. I know this has to be nutrition related but I am at a loss as to what is missing. I try to eat as mch as possible but my appetite is not there. If you guys have any suggestions or recommendations it would be greatly appreciated. I need to come up with a structured eating plan just like I have a structured training plan.

I really need to get some bike shorts as my butt is really starting to hate me. Anything over 10 miles is pretty painful. So does anyone have any recommendations for bike shorts? Remember I'm a relatively large guy, 6'1 240

There are a number of Bike To Work Days/Weeks/Months around the country and most communities have their own version. I strongly encourage you to find co-workers and take at least one day to try it out if you haven't. It's a blast and you'll feel great! The League of American Bicyclists has the larger organized version, but just about every community has something, so please check the web. http://bikeleague.org/programs/bikemonth/
