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...

D you can do it!!!!! You are almost done, it might suck now but remember you will have your whole life to ride!

removing politics from fun bycyling thread!!!! =)

So I am fairly certain that Jared has food poisoning. Poor baby was puking up everything I gave him yesterday. The only difference in what he ate and what his sister ate was a carrot that he got from one of his classmates. It might be a coincidence, but a perfect opportunity to teach him why you don't share food at lunchtime. I am running on about 2 hours sleep. BLah.

Do we want to agree not to talk politics and candidates on this board?

And it's coming at me from all areas, I'd like to have a safe non-political place.

Thoughts?

Yes, we can agree to that m'dear.

I will retract my comment =)

Yes, we can agree to that m'dear.

I will retract my comment =)

I heart you.

BG : I knew Carrots were evil. Hope the lil fella fells better.

I second the no politics motion. I too feel that I am bombarded with opinions, snide remarksand downright nasty stuff. A safe zone is a great idea, plenty of other places we can have an intelligent political conversation. Good idea OH. KY

Bump bump bump bump

I agree with everyone here in regards to politics. We do need a safe zone since it is going to get worse and not better. At least with biking we can go out and block everything out and just enjoy the nice weather this fall and how it makes us feel while and after riding.

Things have been busy here as well. We are coming down to the wire with getting the Indy airport ready to be open for flights in Nov. Weight loss is doing good. I go for another sleep study this month to see if I can get rid of the CPAP Machine and just use the herbest retainer. I will be one year out on the 19th of this month. Glad to see that everyone is doing real well.

Studying global buisness makes me feel insignificant.....

just sayin'

Is this thread still about bicycling? Or is there another one I should post my new ride in?

Thanks

It's still about cycling. You've got a core group of people who started riding last year and we go off in many directions.

Please post about your new ride. We particularly like pictures!!!

Sorry if it's so far off topic, but if you start talking bikes we get all excited.

Juli

Yes we're still about bicycling. Do tell about your new ride!

BG - How's Jared?

Traded one clothes hanger for another

So, I had a garage sale a few weeks ago, and sold the Bowflex and the ElliptiKILL.

That gave me enough money (almost!) to buy this

It's a brand new 2007 Fuji Professional 3.0, all carbon and other goodness. My buddy J has been trying to get me into this for a while. This poor thing was sitting dusty at the bike shop, and since the 2009s are almost out and the 2008s on discount, I got a pretty good deal on it. All together it weighs 20 lbs.

Took an easy 11.25 mile ride on it right after I bought it, will have to work up to real distances. I also got the padded shorts and a jersey. No, I will NOT be posting pics

OMG, she's a beauty!!!!

I have a matching orange jersey, but I don't know that it would work for you and I'm guessing your bike would be too big for me.

But wow, it's great you move out the old not gonna use stuff for the new gonna get you fit bike.

Rock on.
