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...

That is one sexy bike!!!!!

i think bike riding is good...helps to keep you entertained, and you get a little rush..i like it better than jogging

Happy New year to all my LBT friends.....Wow...it has been a year hasnt it.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 2009....

Welcome to our 2 new members to the group.....Biking is a thrill indeed....it is also a big challenge depending on what you do on your bike.

Both my husband and I are sick today or we would be attending the NEW YEars Day ride....I was bummed about missing it, but cant afford to be sick anymore....LOL

I am resetting my exercise ticker as well....So heres to 2009 let it bring allot of new roads traveled and new friends along the way....

Sounds like everyone is having a great holiday. Next week will all be back to trying to meet the goals. Looks like everyone meet 1-2 goals last year. To ride bikes and loose weight. I will be going back and forth between New Haven (Yale) and St. Louis after the first of the year. Going to be working on a new power plant. Will be taking the bike and ride along the water in the spring. Not sure I will have time to work on my MBA but might try. I hope to join the Skulls/Crossbone club.

Happy New Year to all

Chris

WYD you know that J and I are in for the Muddy Buddy. In Chicago again. They have not announced the exact dates and registration info yet but I am sure that is soon to come.

Oh, for shame. There will be some serious butt kicking happening in August, in Chicagoland.

Traci, this is for you!

I gota find a partner for it this year

thanks juli......too cute

I managed to get on my bike for about 30 minutes yesterday (on the trainer not outside). It was certainly not as fun as being outside but I think I got a much better workout judging by all the sweat pouring off of me when I was finished. Felt good.
