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...

Wow, Nair is some potent stuff.

Good luck in the competition! We'll be cheering for you!

I prefer Veet over Nair. Lol.

Gooooooooooooooooo Wings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heart hockey.

Go Wings! I bet there isn't much work going on up there today.

Personally I feel like crap. Probably because I did not get home until after midnight and I work at 4 am.

Yeah there was a lot of partying going on. Nothing quite like sports celebrations in downtown Detroit.

i see BG Saturday............I'm stoked!!!

After I was banded I dragged out my bike. I won it several years ago in a raffle and rode if maybe 3 times. Last summer and fall I rode it several times a week. Now that the weather's nice again the bike has come out once more. So much better than my winter bike (stationary at the gym)!

I'm thinking about getting a road bike eventually. This bike is great, but it's a mountain bike and not really made for street riding. Plus when I eventually do my triathalon, I think a road bike would be better (I know there are tri bikes out there but they are out of my budget!)

i see BG Saturday............I'm stoked!!!

Just under 24 hours now. w00t

Printing mapquest directions as I type.

Grayhounder,

Cool about doing a tri. That's amazing. Yeah, a road bike will do you better in that event, well nearly anywhere where you are riding on pavement, not soil.

Keep us posted on your progress!

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

65 miles. Ass on fire. Very sleepy.

We rode, it was windy, but beautiful!!!!

Good to see you BG!!!

Good job girls!! Woo Hoo! Glad you got beautiful weather! Wish I could've been there. Was planting trees. :{

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

I am now a Triathlete! Yaaaah for me.
