kool...I was just going to tell you I just recieved a new sale add from Performance too and they were on sale there as well. I hope you like it. I am taking my bike tommorow to the specialized store to get new gel wrap on my handelbars and to have them check my reach on my bars. I have a Trek, but everything else is specialized...LOL

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm maybe I can catch up than!!!!:wink_smile:

yea, and it rubs in all the wrong spots I bought a real nice seat from specialized for $40. It is pretty nice and it is Womens specific. I also bought my gloves and shoes there as well. BIG difference.

SWEEETTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT I didnt know you got it already!!!!! Awesome bike..... Also, just a fair warning...the bongrager seats on the bikes from Trek, well they stink....I have already changed mine out to a specialized....wow, what a difference!!! Amazing......arent bikes awesome??????? have a great day all!

before and current pictures LOL MAn....help me with the hat!!!

Well, I am trying to find the folder with my before shots.....I cant find them....ughh Deanna and J......YOU GUYS LOOK SO FREAKIN AMAZING. I JUST CANT GET OVER THE CHANGE IN THE BOTH OF YOU. I SHOWED MY HUSBAND THE PICTURES TOO......HE SAID..WOW...J LOOKS GREAT!!!! D....I THOUGHT OF YOU TONIGHT AS WE TOPPED A HILL AND WE LOOKED UP AND A WONDERFUL RAINBOW APPEARED. HERE'S LOOKIN AT YOU GIRL!!!

me to we are contemplating doing a ride called pedalling for pets. 30 bucks for the family! So?? if not we plan to ride if it does not rain.....

we have gotten NOOOOOO riding in all week...ughhh................We have had something going on each and every evening.....so, guess I will have to hit it hard for the weekend.....can't let you get 300 miles up on me...LOL Hope you are all having a good day

I have the cat eye micro wireless Love it....

mine is a 2007 bike 2100. It has changed to the 2.3 for the 2008 models I got it for the same price as the 2.1 of this years model....so that is why I got it....and it is awfullyyyyyy sweeettttt

goodness....Hello to all the new and old faces here on the thread!!!! Hello to NOHVK!!! I started with a comfort bike, old type breaks...it did me just fine.....but than I got the bug...... I know that as long as you are out there pedaling you are burning calories and becoming a healthier person. Pooo on those who critize...and there are SOOOOO MANY!!!!!

molly...you are so right...if you are riding a hybrid, shocks make all the differnece. I loved my Giant bike (FCR2) but I sold it to get my roadie......miss that baby!!!!

d!!! I have the 2100. I have had some issues with my fingers and numbness, we are adjusting my handelbars and planning to get a ride in tonight to see if that helps. I also bought a new speialzed seat, new specialzed shoes, and gloves last nite.....The shoes are really nice and comfy! My first pair were too narrow. You are amazing to be able to accomplish all that you have. Do you have pictures of the top of the mountain????

HI They make allot of different seats out there that will accomadate your tush! I started out on a Trek Hybrid bike...it came with a seat that I just hated. So he put me in a SERFAS gel seat. The good thing about these is that it has a money back guarantee if you dont like it. I have been told, and am finding out to be the case, that the wider seats in the rear are not always the most comfy. How much are you wanting to spend on a bike or do you have one? I would highly recommend getting into a local bike shop and telling him what you are wanting to do, and let them fit you. FIT makes all the difference in a good ride. You may be surprised at the cost as well. For example a comfort hybrid from Target runs around $200. My Trek hybrid I bought was $380. Now you may think that is $180 more, well yes....but the advantage I got was a custom fit. They fit me to the bike that worked for my body height, etc..... Giant also offers a nice entry level hybrid as well..... Seats....even the most season riders will tell you, takes time to get use to them and most have gone through several before they find the right one. Best of luck and if you need anything else just email. Traci

it was great!!! Met up with some local people and rode yesterday and than my 14 year old and I went out for a little longer after that...wonderful weather and wonderful company!!! YOU dont know how awesome it is when you get on that bike! (The new one) Every time I ride, I love mine more

D...I am soooo proud of you!!!!!!!!!!!! Excited also for your new bike.......now you will haveto get a new jersey to match!!!

welcome tracymom.... I am so excited for you and I love the specialized bikes as well as there gloves(which I am getting ready to buy) I actually almost bought a specialized but ended up with my current bike.....LOL.....things can easily change though!!!!:ohmy: Anyway....allot of people use mirrors on either there bikes or there helmets.....I dont yet...I did on my hybrid....but have not got one yet for the roadie. I just try and make sure I am not NOT paying attention and stay close to the right side as much as I can. I am still nervous about being in traffic too, so hopefully we can get some other input.... Best of luck........and please join in as much as you can..... Traci (HP)

welcome to the Lapband site. My name is Traci and I live near French Lick. I had my surgery in 2007 (May) and it is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I had researched both procedures and with a sister having the other, I knew it was not for me. You may not loose your weight as fast, but you will be doing it a healthy rate, which will allow your body to get use to the change and hopefully will not make allot of "baggage" hanging....I would love to say that that isnt a problem, but I started at 335, and my stomach is still a huge issue for me as far as hanging. Allot of people end up having plastic surgery after they are done loosing there weight, and it is a personal choice if you do or dont. Please feel free to email me anytime you would like to talk. Traci

J I like your new ticker Is it ok if I join the site and create one? I hate to "copy"!!!!!:ohmy:

hey there stranger....nice to see your post!!!! You seem like you are doing great....It is wonderful to see everyones ups and downs as we go through the changes we all do. Going with a group of cycle friends from a nearby town today for a ride. We ran into them on Friday and we got an email from them on the invite. It should be a nice ride. Bought me a pair of Pearl bike shorts yesterday!!! They are niceeeeeee, and were on sale.

I paid around $45 for mine and it is wireless. They also have wired ones for allot cheaper. My mother has family in Eugene....not sure if they are still living or not. I have always thought that coming out that way for a trip would be awesome...... We are planning on some new roads this weekend.....I think it is funny how we are looking for roads to ride on now....who ever guessed.... When was your surgery?

it is a replacment to put in your water. Accelsport.com: Official Web Store for Endurox - Nutrition Tools for Endurance Athletes They make other things as well. I remember Jodi saying he used it when he works out. We are going to get to try out some new roads this weekend, I am super hyped...LOL Hope everyone has a good weekend.

does anyone use endourox??

welcome debi!!! I think it is great that you have bought bikes, and dont you worry about what you look like, we all have and are there. I rode with some "younger" bikers yesterday....never would of dreamed of doing such a thing a year ago..... I love camping too btw..we just sold our pop-up...for now. D...I know is those not the funniest?????
