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...

B, I got kicked out of scouts because of that whole Brownie thing!

Got caught cruising the 8 year-olds, huh...

Dade City ya know! Family trees with no limbs but lots of leaves and such.

Just Finished a 3 mle warm-up jog? What were the rest of you athletes doing? HMMmmmmmm!

Good Morning, JC

JC

if you go pix thread, not just the link, I put some swim suit picutures of me too. Mostly because the shot from behind you can see my cycling enhanced legs....

Thanks for the compliments, JC and GR8.

OMG J......great job!!!!

Man Juli you lookk so wonderful...Can you even imagine that was you...

???

I rode 21.5 miles today and even pulled all the hills. It was a day that we were fighting the wind, and hoping for the rain to hold off...and it did....YIPPPYYYYY

Well, I am driving to another town to look at some road bikes....see ya

OMG J you look fucking amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

JC I was riding 25 miles this morning on ODB. I think the back rim is slightly bent. That is my best guess as to his problem. Or he is just tired of my fat ass and wants me to lose a little more weight lol.

Damn BG! Great Ride!

Well I had a great start and that was about it, I reinjured that darn tender spot on my back. I should have just slowed down enough to put on the jump shoes. I busted my ass yesterday, when one of the rabbits I chase around the track talked me into trying her friggin rollerblades. I knew better because I am a class 3 Klutz.

That's ok because, like my granddaddy used to say "if you're gonna be stupid you're gonna have to be tough, and boy you're as tough as they come!" What a great man!

HP, BG

Good rides! I wish I were able to get out on the trails. It looks like a week from today is going to be my first opportunity!!!!

Unless I find a minute and a bike shop that rents bikes in Madison. I think I'm going to be limited to whatever work out room the hotel has or walking the city. Did I mention that we are sharing the hotel with the "IRON MAN" compitition? How cool is that? Buff people used to make mee feel horrible about myself and I avoided them. Now, they get me stoked, because I want to be buff...I hope to make some small talk with those athletes!

You know, it just occured to me that I don't have my preflight stomach ache about having to ask for an extender... I've not needed on the last 2 times I've flown.

Thanks for all the kind words about my pics. I know I posted many, but I always want to see more of the other bandsters...It's not that I think I'm hot or anything...well not too much.

way to go guys on your rides. I only got in 17.20 miles today...but watch out tomorrow!!! My shoulder is better today, and I hope it stays that way. If not, I am going to be pissed. Got Dr. appt. changed to Monday if not.
