http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?p...wHt1E&refer=us
According to this study, aspirin appears to be more beneficial for men than women. -- Bob in CT |

: According to this study, aspirin appears to be more beneficial for men : than women. : : -- : Bob in CT I am still wondering why they used a dosage that is not available....100 mg. We can buy 81 mg aspirins and 325 mg aspirins, but to my knowledge, you can't find a 100 mg dosage OTC. Why would someone design a study with a problem like that? They would have to know that people would be likely to go out and try to start on the regimen. Pat in TX (rode 22 miles yesterday in a pretty stiff wind. The wind is your friend. Hah!) |

I haven't ridden in a while, due to snow, sickness, and vacation. I was going to ride tomorrow morning, but it's supposed to rain, then ice, then snow, then blow. I can't wait for spring! -- Bob in CT |

I must have missed the link to the detailed study, as I find no mention of the dosage other than "low dosage." I don't suppose there is a huge difference between 81 mg and 100 mg, especially compared to 325 mg aspirin. |

The daffodils are blooming, the trees are leafing out, the grass is green. I saw some wild Mexican Plum trees blooming yesterday. And, the wind is blowing and it's around 48-58 degrees during the daytime and we're getting rainstorms all of the time. That last part is unusual. I grudgingly got out the leg warmers and put them on. I am too cheap to buy long pants and I don't like the leg warmers because they kind of bunch up on the backs of my knees (knee pits?). But when you're all covered up, you can forget the weather for awhile and just enjoy the ride.... Pat |

Pat I went to Arizona, and I couldn't believe how many bicyclists I saw -- I saw more in two days there than I see all year here. Here, it was bad yesterday, then the wind was incredible. I'm going to the gym today, as it's 8 degrees plus wind today. They have snow forcase all weekend! Ugh! For me, if it's near/above freezing, it's not bad; but when it's 8 or 10, that's darn cold. I can ride, but it take me hours to warm up after that. -- Bob M remove ".x" to reply |

I don't know about y'all, but when I go out to ride in the cold, I get an
earache from the cold wind. I get tired of taking a lot of time to just get dressed! So, I learned last year not to complain about the summer heat. At least, I can just wear the minimum and don't have to worry about my fingers not working right because they're too cold, or icy blasts getting inside my jacket (Monday, I forgot to cinch down the wristbands tight enough), or my legs turning to ice. And, adding to all of that, I get sweaty! Bah! The hell with it! Pat in TX |

If I go to Arizona next year, I'm taking my bike with me, so that I can get some riding in. South Mountain would be fun to ride up. -- Bob in CT |
