Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

:giggle:

What with all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment,

it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person which almost

went unnoticed last week. Larry LaPrise, the man who wrote “the Hokey Pokey” died peacefully at the age of 93.

The most traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They put his left leg in…and then the trouble started.

Thank you, I needed that.

Hey Peeps!

I got word from the doctor's office today that "He is not concerned. Just eat soft food and call if you get hungry". Serious?

So I guess I'll wait it out and see if things loosen up a bit over the following week. I am drinking Protein smoothies for Breakfast, but I am gonna have to really watch my calories since I'm drinking them more often than eating them this week. It's good to be tight, but this is weird. Feels funny, and makes me nervous. I don't want to hurt anything.

J: I don't know for sure about the C-bus thing. And yes, my DD would be a consideration. One minute she's all about being a gypsy, and the next she is all about her friends. We'll see. DH may be hanging out by your place of employment until we decide what to do. He can stay there for free.

Really, he'll be staying at the school? I'm not surprised, we have many different people stay...

Our security supervisor is an ex state patrol gal. Does DH know her or is his connection to the school just through the patrol?

I'll take him cycling if he's around.

[Turler 6]

No, not at the school. He would stay at the Academy. That is right by you, right?

Btw: He'd most definitely bike with you!

[OH Juli 15]

I have no idea where the academy is...by the fair grounds? I feel like I should know that, but I don't. Funny!

J...see you changed your ticker!!!! WOOHOOOOOO

Wow...you are going to be in the 180's before you know it

I went for a short ride tonight.....did a few challenging hills (and made them) the handle- bar adjustments seem to have helped allot....I am really dumb, because I did not realize where my hands should be???

Anyway...used my daughters gloves that did not have gel in them, and that seemed to help as well.

Bad news is, the red, white and blue Trek we bought for leslee is making a loud creaking noise when she pedals.....we think it may be the bearings?? Husband is trying to fix them, but they may be going into the shop....she is mad...we all have new bikes but her....hers is used..so we may look for her a newer one.....when I get the money

[babygrl1234 6]

Everyone busy? Out riding?

[OH Juli 15]

No cycling for me, though it's a beautiful day.

Yesterday I went to the gym and to a nice picnic.

Today is homework and yard work. Yuck to both.

What's everyone else up to???

john and I got a nice yet, interesting ride in today. We went to the near by town to ride which was fine. But we wanted some more miles in and so we went into this town....

Well, being new on the road bike, plus first year in clip-less pedals, I was not real excited at all. Stop signs everywhere.....did not like that at all.

I am having a hard time clipping out of both sides when I come to a stop. I do fine usually un-clipping on my right foot, than I usually just put my foot down to stop...yea.....does not always work right...LOL

but even though we had some interesting points...still had a good ride....Love the day it was so nice out.

Hope all had a great weekend....

Hey all. I got nothing.

Today is my one year bandiversary. yay me. This time last year I was soooo drugged up. Haha. I miss the drugs. Luckily, I'm having 2 teeth 'extracted' tomorrow afternoon, so that should get me some type of pain killer.

Oh, and I'm joking about the drugs... I better say that, since I"m a nurse and work with narcotics. Lol!!! I'M NOT A DRUGGIE!!

I've been having dreams about riding my bike. It's been storming here, like tornados and such, almost every other day... so not much outside actuivity has been happening for me.

I went to REI Sports in the District (Henderson (Las Vegas), NV) today and test-drove a few models. I am looking for a hybrid - one I can use to ride to work and back but also take on the occasional trail.

I rode for about 20 minutes on various bikes and fell in love with a hybrid that has great shocks, great geometry (posturing) and handlebars that let me switch it up a bit.

One of my best friends is a triathlete and he made some suggestions and gave advice that I took to heart, thought not on a $2k road bike like he has. I am looking at spending about $600 or so and this one not only looked and felt great, it was within my price range!

Considering the gas I will save (16 miles a day = $5 or so in gas), the savings will wash in just a few months!

I am so excited, I am planning trails and checking maps to see how far I can really go in this town. My goal is to go from home (North Las Vegas) to my Mom's (southern Las Vegas, Henderson border). No timeline for that yet, but I'll work one out.

I just bought a new bike a couple of weeks ago and I love it! It's a 21 speed hybrid; a Specialized Crossroads Sport, it ran me $350 at my local shop. It is the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden, not that I've done a lot of bike riding. The seat is a dream, it has awesome shocks and you ride in more of an upright position.

I'm still pre-op so I've been doing a lot of short rides. I live 2 blocks from the large network of bike paths in my city. I've lived here for 10 years and have never used them, what a shame! I hope to build up enough endurance to ride to work soon and I plan to ride my bike to my pre-op testing day on Tuesday.

Cheers!

welcome both of the new gals on here!!! It is so exciting to get a new bike.....I kind of went through several my first year of riding. I finally setteled down into a road bike though, but truly loved my trek hybrid I had.

My daughter who is 14 just bought a Trek FX which is a hybrid/ fitness bike...

Good luck to both of you and Happy riding!!!!

SUzzie!!!!! WOW...a whole year....can you beleive it????? It is amazing how different we feel from a year ago....

Keep up the good work, and I hope it quits raining soon

Happy Monday y'all.

I am so excited to be going on my week long trip next week!!!! Only 6 days until I leave. Now unfortunately my partner in crime has been slacking on her riding so it will be interesting to see how well she fares through the whole thing. I am super excited though!!!!!!!!!
