2bhealthe!!! you are pretty awesome yourself.....excellent advice Well..no outside riding tonight, but i rode inside on the trainer for awhile while I was getting my seat adjusted.....so i just counted the time and put 5 miles down? Who knows..I hate it not measuring the distance when it is on the trainer... Tomorrows, I have a stinkin doctor appointment so I am taking off the whole day I am than getting my hair highlited and meeting a new girl and another club member along with my family for a local ride in a different town. So....hoping to get in at least 25 miles...I would like to get 50..but......??? We will see Than, I am riding Wed and Thursday if it does not rain....and than a busy weekend with rides both days....LOOOOOVEEEEE My bike!!!!!

D.....I am so sorry for how he acts......people think we have it so easy, when actually it is allot harder than we ever thought..You know his insecurity and jealousy is screamin out here..... You have done SOOOOOO much to be proud of... You have taken your daughter in a healthy approach to exercise and loosing weight....you are doing all the right things and are the one who should be super duper proud here!!!! We are all proud of you and we all love you!!! Hang in there....get on the bike and kick some ass!!!!!

well, life gets in the way at times....having fun reaching for the goals though!!

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh more time for me to catch up!!!! what is your goal for the week??? I was under mine last weeke

good job b!!!!! It s raining here...wth

i ride in the monrings on the weekends, but during the week it is in the evening. We live in Rural Indiana with gravel roads. We have to drive to go ride......I would love to ride in the morning though... That is awful about the bike wreck.....YIKES>>>>>Glad she is ok... BG...I want a blinky lite too..LOL

sounds good I am not sure, but we will see. Depends on how money is going it is veryyyy hot here today got in 36.5 miles....not the 50 intended....it was too hot. So, we listened to our bodies, and pedaled our way back...had some very interesting hills......to say the least......thanks god for granny gear....

OH YA CLOSING IN!!!! RIGHT!!!! U ARE TOO FAR AHEAD OF ME....LOL.. I do expect some action out out of you today though!!! Went out for a nice short ride last nite..I raised my seat trying to get rid of my knee pain, but it didnt go away??????? Not sure what is next. Did fix my feet problem....LOL

i was just curious about the rides...We were trying to get things scheduled, and that one was thrown out there for all of us. KY....when is the HOPE ride? My husband wants to do the bridge to bridge...so we will see. Last year at this time I was getting ready to ride my first organized ride..The Jasper Strassenfest. Last year I was on my Trek Hybrid, and I thought that 21 miles was going to kill me!!!! I was so excited to finish....this year I am making my second appearance....it is a mind thing for me, but honestly it is a milestone that I want to participate in. Sound dumb??? oh anyway....we are going with a group today to hit some new challengin hills....Not sure if I am looking forward to this at all..LOL....but I am still trying. About the wrist hurting......if you are on a hybrid bike, my daughter and myself last year had the same issues. We were pushing all of our weight on them, they can be rotated down some so you are not pushing so hard. Do take it to the LBS and have them check the position of it....

hey....D....he works for the goverment as a contracto....he does electronics....(NERD) No just kidding...LOL I like it that way......I like being hillbilly So....next weekend is the Strassenfest ride. That was my first organized ride last year ever.....and it KILLED ME TO DO THE 21 mile ride. So, we went today to look at the routes...and we can ride these anytime...but it is something I need to do FOR ME...kind of a yearly thing...does that sound dumb? So, depending on if my daughter rides will tell me which ride we are doing....the ones that are 35-62 mile rides have KILLER hills....there is not good part of them at all...LOL But, anyway...anyone from last year doing the Allan County ride this year in September? It s the 20th.... Just curious...we may go....they were just so nice...but we will see I am trying to plan my schedule to see some new areas of interest.... Hope everyone is having a nice day

sandiego..... YOU ROCK!!!! Good for you for sticking to your guns, getting what you wanted and not letting them kick you! I hate it soooo much when people are like that...allot of the bike shops, the younger kids are like that.....I know I am bigger, but a bigger seat doesnt make it more comfy at all. Welcome to our insanity!!!!! We all love biking and if you go back to the start of our thread you will quickly notice all of us started out riding a slow pace and not many miles at a time. J is right...DONT OVER DO IT THE FIRST FEW TIMES It will keep you wanting more that way...and will be nice to your body! Kind of funny......I am almost at the weight you are now...and I have been banded for a year....I want to get under 200 so bad...I hope to do it by the end of the year.....You keep up the good work!!!! B pan... glad to see you post again..we have missed you here......That stinks about the knee....:thumbup: Hopefully you will back and feeling better soon... You know D.....I laughed when my husband said that too...because you and your husband seem allot like me and my husband....you like to camp....you like the outdoors....you llike small dogs and big dogs.....oh wait...AND YOU LIKE ME!!!!!! Anwyay...J hope you feel better soon..... BG...so sorry about your loss....that is sad....and being with family is good but this is not the time you want that to happen....you will be in our prayers...

i cant drink through a straw at all...because of the air ....and even last year I had trouble with my bottles when it was so hot and i was drinking too fast....just be careful how fast you drink. You may not have any trouble with your pack though..just trials and error....! I am so happy you were cleared to start riding.... Are you doing the Bridge to Bridge ride or the one in Starrlight in September??? Just asking...we are thinking of doing one of those.... I did not ride either but saturday is just around the corner....yipppyyyyyyyyyy D...my husband says your husband looks like a professor!

I wore a t-shirt last year all the time and than i bought a 4x jersey from aerotech....it was nice...and roomy i will give it to you if you want?????

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM WOW DEANNA....THAT IS AMAZING...AND SOOOO LOVE YOUR SHIRT AND YOU LOOK SO DAMN GOOD!!!!!! THE BACKGROUND IS GORGEOUS.........WOW.....
