thanks J.... I have been wondering about you and wondered how the recovery process was going....I would love to get to the point to consider it. Yes, I am hoping to get back on tracl My 20 year old did have her surgery about 7 weeks ago and is doing very good. MC..hello.......hey.....if you finished, you accomplised something....I remember finishing dead last on SEVERAL organized rides....one was with a group of bandster friends....so...it happens.... And will get better....promise You rode more than me this week.....I only got 10 miles in on Easter, and none all week Hoping for a good ride this weekend.....hoping for one without killer hills.....

Well, it has been a long time since I have posted and actually been online here Nice to see some new faces on this biking thread. I have had a rough winter, gained some weight, and been pure lazy....all the excuses can be made, but the bottom line is I am in charge of ME and my choices, and it is time to get real again and get back on the saddle and back on track with my diet. Hoping to catch some out on the road and online here as well for good old fashioned support and encouragment.... Happy riding to all

hello to all..... Been colddd, than warm for a day, now we are back at the weekend where there is free time and it is cold again....hey wait..I guess that is why they call it winter? I am defiantly ready for some spring weather so I can get outside without freezin.... Hope everyone is good....

thanks juli......too cute

chris look at you....7 lbs from goal.....arent you just rockin!!!! happy New year.

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.... Traci

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that Santa was good to all of you Have a wonderful weekend.

i think the world seems to just be lost our there right now....I own a road bike...Love it, know of a guy who owns what you are looking at and loves his.... Good luck

I downloaded the The Cyclo-CLUB Membership for the Passion of the Everyday Cyclist i joined for 10 a month and it has downloads that you can get along with nutrition and other excellent information. I was really excited as they offered a free day on Sunday and i really liked it. My thoughts are to get myself on the bike and ride...and I need to make sure I keep it fun or I wont do it....I get bored very very easy Now just to do it LOL It is also pretty funny the advice you were giving our newbie...My doctor JUST had emailed me the same exact thing...she thinks I am not eating enough calories and that is causing me not to be loosing any faster....hmmm. Never knew I would have trouble getting enough calories in, but I guess maybe I am?? I am glad to see you back on here and offering the support/....we sure have missed it....and hope you stick around ....:sneaky:we always are in need of guidance..... u

And I dowlnloaded and joined this online spinnning and training thing. I am really going to like it. I have unlimited downloads to different training links and will really help out with the training over the winter for me. Heck, before we know it it will be spring again... But...first we must get through all the nasty weather AND I am SO EXCITED YOU POPPED BACK IN TX:tongue2:

Ooooo I think I do! How r you?? We have missed you

thanks Juli....:wink: I would love to take a spinning class...although the closest one is over 45 min away. with Rebeccas basketball and work, going somewhere that is that far is not going to happen. I hope everyone is having a great week....

HELLO classes was ok....I am taking the basic classes as I have late start in life at getting a degree. I am mainly doing it as a backup for myself in case I would ever need to change directions in my career. I am only taking 2-3 classes a semester with working. Which is plenty I wish I was in the state of sunshine so I could continue riding year round..LOL Yea Julie, the weather around here is up and down, rain, snow, sleet ...yuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk hope everyone is having a nice week.....

hi there!!! Things for me has been crazy as well...I am taking 2 classes, went to florida for work for school for 4 weeks and came back to cold dreezing stupid Indiana weather..LOL Biking has come to a huge Stop for me except indoors..which stinks....but is doable. I am ready for spring We were sick over thanksgiving, but are all well now. Glad to see you made it through school and the holidays... take care and Merry Christmas to you and your family Traci

O I am so excited for you Juli.....That is so awesome...... I cant wait to see your results..... WOW.....Can you believe the insurance is covering it, that is just soooo awesome.... CONGRATS!!!!!

hey chris how did the opening go for you last week> It sure has gotten a little colder now that the nasty rain stopped. we are seeing snowflakes today too.... Got a nice 25.6 mile ride in on Sunday. Temps reached 42 and it would of been even better if we would not of had all the wind. Hope everyone is having a great week

yes, Julie, I do seem to have this itch that just wont go away when it comes to riding. I love to keep pushing new things and am excited to be doing some new things during the winter to get me ready for my 2009 goals. If it would JUST QUIT RAINING...LOL

nice to see you strangers on here.....and that is a awesome trail(street) I have been reading allot of cities are gearing towards making the towns more biker friendly. Evansville, which is a pretty large city is adding bike lanes from the West to East side. I am excited and hope to ride down there sometime when I visit my mother. Rainnnnnnn here this weekend....so I am working on Sat and hoping to ride on sunday... Have a great weekend everyone....

I agree, I have the same issues with the same area and I beleive it is where it is sewn into the muscle...You would think they would find a better place..LOL It is frustrating, but I am hoping it is nothing more than that....

wow....did I say how I so much enjoyed freezin my Butt off??? Lol...it was 37 cloudy and winds were around 10-15....a little cold, but it felt good to be back in Indiana and riding again. Hope everyone has a great week I am off till Wednsday~!!

I know life does get in the way allot, and I find myself checking online but not posting allot anymore. It is cold here and I am still riding...crazyyyyyyy....but I am sure my nose will be completly cleaned out when I am done...HA-HA.... Well, I am glad to see you counting the days until May....It isnt exactly wishing your life away, just getting ready for the next phase... Have a great Sunday...

Hi Chris...WOW...cant believe it is time for the airport to open. Seems like yesterday when you first started talking about it and now it is here. I chose to drive this time on my travels, but my husband flew out 2 weeks ago and he said it is really going to be nice...GOOD WORK. I had been posting on here, but everyone has disappeared and so I chose to not post anymore until someone else did..Did not want to monopolize the thread you know:) I am actually planning a ride tomorrow afternoon. Hope it warms up some or at least is not including wind...HA Well...Good Luck Tuesday hope it goes off without a glitch as I am sure it will.... Take care Traci

veryyy tired of it I am sick of rain too
