OMG!!! So glad to see everyone on here!!!! hellooooooo to all! I dont think i can do the DFW thing. I may be going to school in FL for a bit and that may be the time I will be there....but, never say never..we will see

THANK YOU! I have been riding for about a year and started with a hyrbrid. This is a new bike so I am getting use to it and making adjustments as I go. I know that it takes time to get use to that, and want to make the right adjustments. I will be taking it in to my LBS where I purchased it this week for an adjustment..... Thanks for the advice....:thumbup:

chris61..also noticed you are a ham radio operator.... my call sign is kc9asd

chris61... defiantly a good observation.....but we have had downpours of rain in my area over the past week and allot of the people in my surrounding towns are dealing with some major flooding. We ride when we can, as we did this weekend, but with the work week we ride as much as we can as well. I was just making an observation becuase this time last year we were the top thread, and we are not now. Also allot of people offer good advice on here and hadnt seen allot of them on the thread for a long time....just wish they could check in sometimes....thats all hope you are all having a wonderful day.

Well, you know we have really dropped off the boards here on talking. We are not even close to being at the top anymore. Where is everyone hanging out? We are hardly on here talking of bikes anymore......??? Just an observation

I am wearing a new pair of gel gloves this season. I have been wearing them all year and this is the first time I had a problem. The only thing different is my bike? I am proably going to need to take it to the bike shop and get some advice....I thought maybe moving the seat further away may help...not sure... How was the ride saturday?

My husband and I went out today on a new route...he ended up with about 4 more miles than me, because we ended up with 94 degree temps, wind blowing at a good 10-20 miles with high gust at times. But all and all good riding and a good route. Questions for all I am having trouble with my hand getting numb. Mainly my pinkie and next finger. Still hurting this evening? Any suggestions? Thanks

boy it has been pretty quiet on here this week? What the heck is up? I know I have been sick all week, and going to bed early.....planning on riding this weekend. Supposed to be in the 90's...yikes.... Hope everyone is doing well Everyone who is traveling, be safe

jc, I defiantly will I think I still have your cell number actually We are coming down the week of August 16-23 We are excited Raining here today have a doctor appointment and hoping to get a fill. eating too much again?

welcome back JC just checking in but glad to see you too BG... Great riding weather this past weekend...but hot. Looks like it is going to be a hot summer

hello to all welcome danj! Well, I was able to get my new bike out this weekend and ride. It was amazing....Never dreamed I would like being in the drops, but I do? Oh well. Love it love it love it!!!!! Cant believe I waited a whole year to get a road bike..... John hurt his back last weekend so he had not been on the bike all week. The 4 of us went out and went to a nearby town to ride.... It was a great change in pace with allot of rolling hills and smelly turkey barns.....yuck!!!! Huge turtles.....nice wild turkeys... And my average was good..... Anyway...just wanted to say hello and check in hope all had a good weekend

Where Is This Located At?

well. I wanted to share with everyone that I have gotten to my 1 year mark. (as of yesterday) As a reward to myself, I got my bike out of lay-way, and went for a ride last night. Love the drops btw!!! Need to make some minor adjustments and plan to go out again today. It is truly amazing how my life has changed in just 1 year. I have depended on this thread to get me through some day's, and it has. Your support of each other on here is amazing, and I truly appreciate it... So, as far as my 1 year mark. I am over the 100lb loss and am happy with that. I know what I should be doing and what I am not doing.....so I still have more to go, but have allot more determination than I did a year ago. I made a power point presentation to show my pictures as I have progressed....Amazed at how I looked this time last year. Thanks to all my online friends who have made this year easier and have been there to kick my ass a few times......I wont mention names....LOL To us all....raise our glasses and lets keep on moving!!!!

and they HAVE TO HAVE OUR BIKING NAME SPELLED WRONG.... I MENTIONED IT TO MY DH.....BUT I WANT AN WOULD NEED TO GO ALONE, AS IT WOULD COST TOO MUCH OTHERWISE. D....WHAT ABOUT YOU????

You know I did not realize it was a weekend ....hmmm if I didnt take my husband and split the room with someone it may be easier to swing...hmmmm thinking

I doubt it J I am going to Florida again in August for work, but taking John this time. Kids fall breaks are also then...so it is for the most part not going to work out for us. I would love to though....?....we will see.... I went and put had Rebecca my 14 year old fitted and her bike put in layway. It is a 2007 model, 7.2 FX (trek) She is pretty excited. Now we are selling her bike...remember the one you rode last year BG in the bike ride in Indiana??? Also am loving Craigs List.....LOL I am getting closer to getting my bike out too....I have a new picture of it...I am sooooo excited....

welcome stormy....we are all a bunch of nuts on here and are all doing it for the love of the sport. It is great to see and hear new faces getting involved...WoHOOOO J...way to go girl......that is awesome on the ride. I heard it was to be a pretty neat one..... We ended up spending the day getting Leslee her shoes and helmet, etc...... So, we took the bike out this evening, and once she got the hang of it she was kickin butt....LOL She wants to go again in the morning....LOL Oh, and we sold our camper today.....looks like I may be getting my new bike sooner than anticipated....LOL f

riding tonight proably a 20 miler and hopefully getting to ride allot this weekend. I walked last night, which was nice.... Are you still going to Kentucky J?? Some friends of ours are going from Jasper, In to it as well. If we didnt already have plans we would go. I may plan it next year.

wedding? D...??? You are loosing it! Rain stop so this girl can get on her bike!!!!

you are awesome D!!!!!

it is the Giant FCR 2 It is a medium here is me and the bike from when I first got it we can help with deleivery..like meeting half way it has less than 200 miles on it it is a 2008

I am happy. I am going to try and sell my bike....maybe be able to get the other faster?? If not, then that is ok too. I would keep it if it does not sell, wont matter, but it is too big for my younger daughter to ride....she is only 5'1 so she needs a small frame size and this is a medium. Oh well. WHich trek do you and your husband have? I love riding, it is better than going to a pet store....and they use to not be able to pry me out of there, now it is bike stores...LOL
