Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

[BuffettPhan 0]

I am a huge brat.

So yesterday I get this check from the US dept of Treasury. Now I remember filing some extra paperwork for 2006 last Nov because they had sent me something in the mail saying I had missed something. So I am expecting some like $50 check or something. I open it up, $703!!!!!! I almost pooped myself. So Stacy will be getting a bit of new biking gear today.

BG this came to mind when I read about your windfall...

A little spending money.

Money to burn.

Money that you did not necessarily earn.

Rainy days seem to wind up sunny,

Long as you got a little spending money.

Great recap of one riders Houston MS150

Masiguy

My home town of Hammond will be hosting a MS150 in October. I plan on making the ride. Stef how was your ride? Are you ready to do it again?

BP, hey! I've done two rides the last two weeks...Tour Dallas and The Lancaster Country Ride. All I can say is that I loved them both and I will be doing both again next year! Especially since Lancaster and all the hills kicked my ass. That will NOT happen again. (I know, I'm repeating myself...but I'm still pissed about it!)

I can't wait for the MS150! It is in less than three weeks! WOO-HOO! I'm going to my LBS today to pick up my Bicycles Inc. Team jersey...can't wait to see what they look like.

I'm trying to find another ride to do between now and then...maybe two. There are so many to choose from! I'm hooked.

P.S. What a great blog on the Austin MS150...now I REALLY can't wait!

BG and J - Cock Blocks really DO taste good? What all flavors have you tried and are there any to stay away from? As I said, I'm going to my LBS today and I think I will pick some up and try them during training to see if they will be good for the HHH. Us bandsters need COMPACT endurance nutrition. Fueling is a real pain in the ass for me on endurance rides.

They are very yummy. I have tried the orange, strawberry, and black cherry. All of them were very yummy. I also like regular Clif bars too. A little harder to eat but delicious all the same.

orange is my fav. I've had punch too, not so good.

[babygrl1234 6]

Work is driving me insane!

Okay, so you two concur on the orange, strawberry and black cherry. Cherry is my favorite flavor, so I will get more of that. Thanks, chicas! (I gave y'all "reputation" for this info! I still can't believe I'm a TWO! LOL) I've never tried the bars, either...so maybe I'll pick up a couple to try if the labels check out.

I'm outta here...I can't spend all day on the comp with so much to do today! Love y'all!

JC, my man! Thanks for the comments earlier about my profile! I'm becoming such a photo whore...it's shameful! LOL

I've just helped make 100 fortune Cookies. Hand made fortune cookies are a pain in the ass. Of course we had to make a few naughty ones too.

heee heee

J: LOL I'll bet you did! I'm feeling better as of yesterday. I amped up my meals a little, and was given permission to have "pudding" consistancy instead of "applesauce". It helped, so I spared my keyboard, the wallpaper, my shoes...

There's a ride tonight. I can't go and it's beautiful out. Guess I'll go walking.

[babygrl1234 6]

Sooooooooooo tired.

I can sleep when I am dead, right?

Hi, I was banded 4-14-08, new bandster, but as soon as I heal up I will be hitting the spinning/cycling classes at my gym. I lost about 20lbs before surgery from the class alone. I cannot wait to see how much I lose with my new tool. I can't wait to hit the cycling class and then buy me a bike this summer. Thanks, I like this thread.

[OH Juli 15]

Hi Trell,

Welcome. Don't let the insanity scare you off, we really are a nice bunch of people. We REALLY like cycling.

Some of the humor gets naughty or gross at times, but please hang out and jump in.

Where I work out doesn't have spinning. I know next fall when the biking season ends in Ohio I'll join a gym that does have spinning. Everyone says it can really transform your body.

Congrats on the band. Turler, also known as C, is on here and was just banded on the 10th.

Welcome!
