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...

Must you call it THE Ohio State? Gosh that is a huge pet peeve of mine. I am finding every piece of Michigan gear I can find to wear this weekend, for no other purpose but to annoy those schmucks.

Sorry you had such a rough time on the trail. That is what I dislike in the summer, all the congestion. Luckily our trail is painted like the road and most people follow traffic properly. You will have to come try it out one of these days when you and Allison visit Detroit.

I got out for about 4 miles late last night. Not much but I actually got my biking partner out there. She did a really good job her first time out. I probably should have taken her the opposite way around the pond but I wanted to have her try some hills, teehee. All in all she did great but she is probably going to be nursing some soreness today. It is supposed to rain later but hopefully I can get a good hour in before that happens.

I don't have center brakes and my bike is made for a man (but ph balanced for a woman) so hopefully when I get my bars they will go right on there.

That sucks J. Glad the stupid people didn't make you fall though.

PS. - Ticker down again... I heart my fill!

ONLY 0.5 LEFT TO GO BEFORE I HIT 100!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome ZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome ZZ! Way to Go!

TX, you so feel my pain, which makes me happy. I have a Giant and I love my sissy brakes. I'd rather have them than aerobars. And he did unwrap and rewrap my bars for nothin' to try a few different things. They look great now though. TIP-if you have white tape on your bars and they start to get dirty, Windex and paper towels makes them white again.

Did I say, I got a loud ass bell for my bike though? I'm going to be ringing my heart out. BTW, I do say, "On your left" as I pass most folks, or I'll holler ahead at a gaggle of girls, "I'm coming at you, get over to your left."

And BG, the "The" business is so ingrained, it can't be helped. And please do wear all the Michigan blue and yellow you've got. I'll try to keep it lower case t in the future.

I am however going to The Whole Foods Market in an hour, for work. t-hee.

The Whole Food Market is most definitely acceptable.

We have one in Ann Arbor lol. Right down the street from THE University of Michigan.

Just sounds stupid.

ZZZZZZZ!!! WOOHOOOOO You are almost at 100!!!! I bet if you go potty and come back it will go down some more...LOL

I am actually home sick today???? Not sure what the heck is going on....my stomach is killing me not able to eat allot, and just feeling like DOODOOOOO! So, I slept in and am up now....going to start out with something bland and hope that will take care of things.

J that stinks about your aerobars......and I am with you about parks..there is no way i am ready to do that with my pedals..I will be on my butt.

TX...where are the cops in TX??

I'm able to ride with a group on a ride tonight out on the streets so woo hoo. I thought I was going to be in the park again, but my evening opened up. Yee Haw.

Yeah, I keep telling myself it was a victory that I didn't land in the mud.

Funny about the potty and the .5 pound ZZ wants to be done with. When I was doing Weight Watchers, I used to strain to pee, etc. before weigh in. I'm so glad to be done with WW forever!

I still pee before I weigh.

me too...hey every little bit helps...hahah

J..now that I have time to look a little closer I have noticed you had a ticker change this past weekend......WOOOHOOOO...can you imagine we were ever over 300lbs? Amazing isnt it?

Keep up the good work.

What ride are you and BG riding in this weekend? We need to make some committments for a few rides too. Need something to prepare for

We are doing something called Woodstock. They have 30-50-100 mile routes. We are doing the 50. It's somewhere east of Columbus, so mostly flat. Columbus Outdoor Pursuits-COP, puts on the big mother's day ride, and they have many training rides before. This is one of them.

This time next year C will be riding with us, training for the mother's day ride. Her DH and DD will be riding it this year. Maybe C will SAG for them and I'll get to see her. She's not riding for some reason, surgery or something...having a band put in I think...:thumbs_up:

I might be down for something in July. Look and see what's out there.

I cannot wait.

I am actually home sick today????

TX...where are the cops in TX??

Sorry to hear that you are sick today, HP! Sending some good mojo your way to get feeling tops!

What do you mean where are the cops in TX? :frown:

I still pee before I weigh.

Oh, me too! I take every ounce I can get off of me before I weigh in the morning! And pooping's even better! LOL

Man, I thought men were disgusting.:frown::drool: You gals take the cake. Pooping and peeing left and right on here.

Man, I thought men were disgusting.:drool::eek: You gals take the cake. Pooping and peeing left and right on here.

Yeah, my kids just told me I am gross! LOL Sorry! :tt2: :frown: :wub:

But if we can look at wild icky "cooch" pics, I should be able to say "poop"! HA

I know, I know, I'm a cop, EMT and seen many a nasty things. I just get uncomfortable with women and bodily functions.:frown: Oh well, what are you gonna do?
