    Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

    oh i know....i wish i was able to ride every day....we are in desperate search of some better places to ride to get miles in, and not be fighting so much with hills all the time. It is hard unless we "drive' somewhere...but it is well worth it, as I am down again today!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOO Enjoy the day everyone

We had some energy gel...GOSH that stuff is gross.....But I managed to get most of it down.....ughhhhh There has to be a better way J...it really stinks falling doesnt't it??? I am having a hard time thinking and making sure I do what I am supposed to do...LOL Defiantly not multi talented..... Anyway.....got a good ride in today, no falls...WOHOOOOOO I just hope we keep this nice weather

    LapBand found my cancer

    Well, I had a nice long email made out for you last night, and the electricity bipped and we lost power..... Anyway....you are a true inspiration. You are going to shine with the band, and going through what you have gone through will give you even more determination and strength. I had a sister die at 42 from Ovarion cancer, and it was tough....if she would have had a test or something it would of caught it....... My thoughts and prayers go out to you this week....I wish you the best of luck.....

    TX.....Your ride soudns awesome, and yes hills are defiantly a major challenge. it is learning how to breathe when you are going up, learning how to make sure you are in the correct gear.....it is so tricky...I am doing better than last year.......and this year with the pedals.....its like I either keep going or I will proably be on my butt!! I am so sore today from my fall. I tried so hard to not whine about it last night...but damn!!!!! Anyways.......................I got to my first big goal........!!! I am sooooo happy!!! It has really inspired me to keep going this month. Thanks for everyones support on here....you all are amazing

    Well.....Tx...my day was not nearly as eventful as yours, but I did get my ride in today....with of course a story to go with it....... We started at the outside of the State park and rode in.....went through the campground....things were going really nice. Until we ended up needing to go to the bathroom....So, I had unclipped from one pedal, and came to a stop, but before I could remmeber what I was doing, DOWN I WENT!!!! Loose gravel, hard concrete....and DAMN IT HURT!!!!! There was some very nice people there with a boat, that got the bike off me, pretty banged up...but ok!!! Than we realized our 14 year old was not with us......we ended up getting the security at the park to help us. She had ridden all the way back to the truck and was waiting for us at a resturant. So, after an hour or so....she is safe and learned a good lesson. Met some nice bikers from Michigan there, and they were super helpful.... It was a good ride...I am VERY SORE!!!! But.....I am learning.......

    I am so glad you got a ride in. Was planning one myself today after work, but.....husband had to pick up son (and he has the truck) so, I guess I will not get one in after all. We are supposed to get heavy rains the next few days.....I am soooo tired of driving around...all the roads leading to my home are flooded...so we have to detour just to get too work. our 40 min drive is now over 1 hour 10-15 min...depending on who drives....HA-HA Well....glad you got too ride......you will get use to the tires....unclipping sure does take some practice doesnt it?????

    caparsi Hello and welcome. If you notice my ticker weight I am not too much less than yourself, and I ride. I started as allot did on a hybrid bike, which is much more upright than the old 10 speed bikes. But, have upgraded to a road bike, with flat handelbars..so I am still in a semi upright position. They say the bigger the seat the harder on your tush...I actually tend to agree.I have a new seat with my new bike, and am very comfortable in it....(odd but true) I started riding at 335/340 last year.....I always just made sure my tires had the proper inflation in them... Best of luck...this is a great group to get information from... Well pp I am off too work...talk soon...
