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...

HP, yes, I thought of something. I wish I would of had them put on the clipless pedals.

Also, I just want to say, I am wolfing down trail mix. Heart this stuff~

Frank,

That is awesome! I love my Giant! And I love the feel of the wind in my hair. Through my helmet of course.

Fantastic!

Way to go Frank, it sounds like you are off to a great start! I hope you are posting some good rides soon.

JC

great on getting your bike Frank...what kind of Giant did you get??

D...What kind of pedals do you have? I was home sick today and went to the bike shop at noon...LOL

I am bad. I think I should get a 2 job until I can buy the bike....hmmm...nice thought!!!

J...when are you going home???

Is it this weekend you get to see your g/f?

Jc....is your road bike you dont ride a PINK ONE????

Just checking!!!!!..LOL

That's cool Frank. I am jealous of all people with bikes.

D I wish I was wolfing down something. This restriction is a bitch. I ate about 1/3 of a burger for dinner. No bun.

Whatever JC you never bite your tongue.

HP I will buy you a bike when i win the lottery.

~~~BG the Bike Licker~~~

BG, I once nearly bit my tongue off during a night of Tequilla drinking!

I got the 2008 Giant Sedona. It's an aluminum frame, and I know people here said to go for a steel frame but the owner of the bike shop said that it would be durable enough for my needs.

I LIKE IT FRANK!!! NOW YOU HAVE IT NOW YOU HAVE TO RIDE IT....

It will take some time, but you will love it..

Hey BG..did you check into shirts?

Got a good 23.50 ride in tonight. It was greeeeeeeeaaaaaaaatttttttttttt!!! I did the big steep hill I posted a picture of without stopping at all. I was kickin' the hills ass!!!

HP...Noooooooooo but my plan is to do so this weekend. I have been super duper busy and it has not let up yet. The kid has dance tonight plus I have to help out at the monthly bariatric seminar (oh the joys of working for your doctor) actually I don't really mind that much lol. Tomorrow I have to help with the book fair for PTA at school. Why I give myself so much to do I will never know.

I heart tequila.

Tequila helped make me a legend in this little town!!!

All right everyone in exactly one week from today, I will be headed Northbound on I-75!!!!!!!!!

Work has thrown project after project at me, since I put in for vacation. I told them I plan on taking aother week off in October and was shot down. God I love my job and all the stress it adds to my life!!

I also decided last night that I am tired of living in the lightning strike capital of the world!

JC

Also truck is still in the shop, I fear I may never drive it again! LOL

Storming much there?

I drove north on I-75 to get to work today lol.

Work sucks.

Wicked afternoon storms every day at the same time. They call it the summertime pattern.

Look What I found!!!!
