Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

Deanna-

I bet if you do the math you'll see that you'll have 1000 miles on your bike by the time you put it up for the winter. You're doing about 100+ a week, 10 weeks, bada bing bada boom, you've done 1000 miles in a season.

Thanks all for the kind words about Zoe. She's really pathetic and MILKING it. Of course, I bend easily...She really was very sad last night. "I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." like if she apologized about bad behavior earlier in the night it would make it stop. If only I could.

She's going to the EX this afternoon. I'm trying to get homework done now so I can ride with the group this evening. I really like the group rides, but they add an extra hour to the time because of traveling to and from. My ass is going to be on the bike 2 hours, if I have 3 hours to spare I'll go, otherwise I'll be on the bike path near my house.

Yeah, this is a study break. At least I don't have work people bothering me today.

Who wants to come to Michigan for some of this next year?

West Shoreline Tour, League of Michigan Bicyclists

I'd be down for the three day ride. I don't want to spend an entire vactaion riding in a state I visit often...

Hey Deanna, Hoosier, JC and Banannie....what do you think? Michigan is beautiful this time of year. I could get the GF to play hostess too, though she's in the SW part of the state...

It's a ways away, 13 months, but might as well start talking about it now...

Also, I'm part of a group organizing LBTers in Vegas in February next year. I don't think we'll be biking there, but it would be great to meet some of yous guys.

I'd certainly be interested, but not sure on the logistics of how to get my bike there, etc. Somehow when I can't trust an airline with a small piece of luggage I'm not sure how I'd trust them with my carbon Fiber "baby"

Would I have to ship it each direction? Hmmmm....

Crap I have not been over at the Vegas thread. SO it is really going to happen?

I so want to do that ride next year.

Juli hope Zoe is better today!

Deanna, gave or take a few things that is pretty much my daily diet. I am very stable on the BikeE, but now I ride the catrike 700 more than the others.

BG, I am ready to go now! That looks like a blast. I'm in.

I am due for a vacation or long weekend. If you guys want to get a ride together, I will do my best to be there. Just let me know.

[babygrl1234 6]

I really seriously think we should do it next year. It rides right through where I am going camping!!!

[babygrl1234 6]

JC you are such s friggin rockstar.

[babygrl1234 6]

I found this which would be pretty sweet for anyone who wants to do this with me next year. Or those who might be lurking on this thread and are just beginning to bike ;)The week long ride training program is a few pages in.

ThAt WOULD BE AN AWESOME TRIP....I THINK 13 MONTHS AWAY IS DOABLE,

I WENT ONLINE AND LOOKED AT THE JOURNEY..WOW...THAT IS ALLOT OF MILES.....EVEN THOUGH I CANT SEE MYSELF DOING IT, I WOULD LOVE TO TRAIN FOR IT.

[OH Juli 15]

Baby girl I am so there. Really.

Had a malfunction at the trail no luck on the three mile jog.

At about 1.5 miles I noticed alot of blood on the side of my shirt that was coming out of my left nipple. I have never had any thing like this before. I did manage to finish 4 miles, just without jogging. I'll have to check this out with my doc tomorrow.

Go on line and look it up...I think it's pretty common.

I saw a dude training for a marathon and his nipples looked all calloused. It might be a matter of putting bandages over them while you run...if you've got a hairy chest that might be a pain to remove...

I'm guess it from the friction of your shirt on your nipple.

Ewwwwwwwww....I'm sure you're FREAKED out.

[OH Juli 15]

And to report in, I did 22 miles of riding tonight. I could have gone faster, but no matter. I got it done.

[jcgrove29 0]

Glad to hear that I was kinda freakin! Way to go on the 22 you are kickin it!
