Hello there Band fans....I got banded March 28th-2007.

I told myself....Bycyling would be a very good choice. Fresh air, muscles working for the sake of "Cardio". After one week passed--in April. I purchased three new bikes for me and my two sons. I have defeated many things doing that. No more not riding with my children--we ride as a crew (family). We could not conquer the hill on my street. We used to stop 3 to 4 times before getting to the top ( I did). So now the wheels have turned. My kids ask me---"Daddy can we stop--our legs are burning". Thank God I am doing well now. Now with 21 pounds gone---but just riding bikes. I am ready for the next Journey...The 1st fill--I am looking forward to the next 4 to 6 weeks--maybe 12 or 20 pounds gone...who knows...:faint: this is how I feel on many days after my ride. Today--(8.5 miles) It was walking, riding around the fair in my town--but that is what my speedometer said when it was all over...

Hi GR8!

Is that what you ride? How cool!

I saw it when we went Bike Shopping -- test rode it -- but didn't get it.

My husband loved it -- so he said.

I have just started my bicycle journey (8/30) -- riding 5 miles a day.

How much does everyone else ride per day?

it all depends. I was riding every other night but work got in the way as did the weather. We were doing about 10-15 miles. And on weekends we go longer.

I have been off bike since a week ago...kinda dreading the getting back on....know I will be hurting.

What kind of bike do you ride???

Well. I am sorry to say I am off to bed.

Talk at everyone later

HP - I just bought my bike - and this is my first exercise in a long time due to back injury, so I am starting slow I am sure. I can't wait till I can do 10+ miles per day.

I bought a http://www.catrike.com/road.htm it is a recumbent style trike. Very cool to ride - I love it!

Good night!

Good night!

That is so awesome!!!!

Good for you for getting out there. A slow start is the best kind of start. If you do too much too quickly you get hurt and stop.

Gr8, sweet bike! I ride a 700 and I love it!

JC

JC I am so happy for ya!

So yesterday for the hell of it I tried to beat my mile time from the day before of 13:39. I did it in 12:01! Not too shabby for 200+.

Cool bike Gina!

I think ODB is having some severe back tire issues. DH thinks it is the shocks but I think he is a moron. I know when my bike does not feel right. UGH. I WANT A ROAD BIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay sorry just had to get that whine out.

Thanks BG, Damn girl you are rocking out on the jogging aren't you!

I am sure you know your ODB better than anyone!

JC

Okay kids, we are literally two weeks out from the bike ride in Fort Wayne.

BG, again, could you post the link. I've yet to pay for my ride. Also, with ODB giving you a hard time will you be able to put the 40 miles on it?

HP, you're game still, right?!

JC, Do you have any pending projects at work that will get in the way? And launches happeing the day before?

I'll tell you guys, I'm looking forward to the bike ride....my life has been crazy and I'll be lucky to get in a few 20 miles before that weekend....it might be rough, but I'm so stoked to be meeting you and riding! Could it be any better?

Oh yea, if D and B were with us!

XO

Oh JC, I am so very happy for you!!!! That is just awesome!!! I can only imagine how happy you are right now....looking at porn all day and all. You rock mister!!

So, I have come down to writing small posts so I don't murder someone when I type a lot and then lose it. Sorry if it drives you crazy.

Juli I think it is on page 73ish. If I get a chance I will look back and find it for ya! I am actually getting busy here. And even if ODB dies he will die on the ride. Y'all might have to come pick me up.

JC I am trying. It might jump start some weight loss.

I have hurt my shoulder. I am in freakin' serious pain here and can't get into ortho until next Thursday. It is the strangest thing ever. I can be just fine one minute and the next I am in excruciating pain, like rotator cuff muscle. But, it doesn't hurt all the time and it starts hurting at the weirdest times. I may head to ER and then they will get me in to ortho much faster. It started 28th and just will not go away. Freakin shit. It brings tears to my eyes at times. I have not done any weight strengthing since the 27th on my arms. I am getting pissed and depressed. DH told me he thinks I should stop doing all exercise for a few days and see what happens. I started crying at the thought. Of course I was bent over in severe pain at the time, so it could of been the thought of no exercise or the pain.

D

Do you take rest days? Where you do NO training at all? If not you should.

I'd head to the ER if you are in that kind of pain.

The little posts are fine. I figured as much.
