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...

awww im gona cry here...you both ROCK!

Who's, I knew you were a big bawl baby down deep. You just try to look mean is all!!!!!!

Traci, thanks for the pictures!! I am going to get me a new saddle today. I am tired of being.........well,............ rubbed raw.

Traci,

It's all good.

D,

That's not a pretty picture...being rubbed raw. Yeah, get a new seat. Yikes.

you found me out. I want a new saddle too...i have a Duathlon tomorrow. i want the Blackwell Research Adamo its a beauty...and no rubbing...just need to find 150 bucks! waaaaaah

O there i go again

Being rubbed raw or how about being put through a meat grinder. That more or less sums it up.

Heres a tissue, who's.

Raw hamburger was theee term I used when I got home from doing the PALM on my stock seat.

I heart my new saddle.

like an overstuffed Taco?

I got a new saddle before I rode today, and it is a womens Terry Butterfly. Don't think it is the one though.Was better, but not good.

OUCH bg, raw hamburger is not good anywhere. Especially between your legs.

Did I mention it costs 65.00 and I am taking it back.

Although the store gives me a 20% discount on everything I buy, (I have bought 9 bikes from them) I think I will go somewhere else and look.

Heres a cool thing I found. I know most of you have one you use already, but here it is www.endurancefestival.com go to bicycling calculator on the left hand side of page...and there is a running calculator too!!

Oh and by the way, I am doing the endurance festival. It will be my first organized bicycling thing, hope I don't kill myself. In front of others. Who are on bicycles.

Hey, don't use the word taco in this raw hamburber talk... I LOVE tacos....now you ruined it for me....could you think of something about chocolate to say so that I will get sick thinking about that???????

I tried and tried and i could come up with nothing without getting too gross.

A dairy crunch?

A choclatte biscuit?
