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...

My gosh people, somebody talk to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my gosh D...I went to that ride and that calculator....pretty good!! I wish I lived closer...hmmmm wonder just how far we are talking??????

SO, what other brands does he sell at your LBS???

I paid $40 for mine, and I like it allot......

WHat about your shorts??? Could it be them>>>

Oh ya...i am exactly 24 hours and 10 min from you!!!!

Yea....................1600 miles......lol

and btw..noticed your ticker!!!!!

LOL...thats quite a ways away, I believe that is why I didn't hook up with you all when you did that ride last year. It was wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too far away. But that would be really fun sometime. In the future.....faraway future...lol...maybe you can come take care of me when I am in a nursing home??? Or vice versa???? I am going to a different LBS that sells Specialized bikes. My regular store sells Trek, Raleigh, Diamondback, Lemond....did you know Trek makes Lemond??? I didn't until today. The seat I got was a Terry saddle....it says Butterfly on the side of it....that is the "kind" of seat in the Terry line I guess.

ZZ, bought some more flippys....Got the whole family some, well, the nieces anyways, and bought a pair for DD gf whos bday is coming up.....way cute...cant wait to get them.

I am a flip flop kinda person now. I didn't use to be, but they are nice now that I am thinner.

I used to be a Birkenstock kinda person, the ones I had last year, are now on the very last hole to do them up and are too big....YEAH ME!!!

If your wondering, I am going through this thing where my computer logs me out of the site automatically, so short posts for me for awhile..

You probably weren't wondering....

I had a salad with avacado for dinner, that was it. It was good. I need to start eating more salad and less carbs. Carbs are so good.

I need an Avon lady...anyone know one?

Probably not here in Idaho you wouldn't. K, I am getting off now.

JUST KIDDING!!! I am super excited about this ride I am doing. The coordinator called me today and talked to me. The mountain pass climb goes up 1500' in about nine miles he said. Piece of cake..

I will be wanting cake when I am done. It is 70K, so about 43 miles.....there is a huge pasta dinner the night before...but I can't eat pasta anymore...boo hoo....It is paid for now, and there are no refunds, so I am committed to going. I WILL CONQUER THE MOUNTAIN!!

ZZ, bought some more flippys....Got the whole family some, well, the nieces anyways, and bought a pair for DD gf whos bday is coming up.....way cute...cant wait to get them.
