That's what I'm talking about.......I've not walked into a video store in a million years.

Netflix rocks.

you do get the US postal service there, don't you D?

So, you ARE older than you are letting on then? By, like, a million years??

I really enjoyed those first posts that you shared today. It gives me hope. I am where BG was where my butt hurts and it's all I can do to do the 1.5!!

Now many of you mentioned getting new Schwinn's at Walmart. Are you still riding those? I'm assuming you've upgraded by now. That's what I got to start myself.

I got me a mountain bike to switch the the workouts up some. The mountain biking is harder. It is amazing how much a little rock can slow you down. I rode a 10.1 mile loop on my road bike the other evening in 50 minutes. I still have a long weigh to go. Good to see where some of you guys started at.

I live in a small town in East Tennessee that is about half way between Knoxville and Chattanooga. Around here it seems like you are constantly climbing a hill. I know that you have to go down hill at sometime, but the climbs last a lot longer than the descents. The heat and humidity have been rough but I have managed to get a couple times this week. I am on midnight shift the rest of the week so I'll have to ride when I get off in the mornings. Hopefully one day I will inspire someone the same as you guys have inspired me.

LT (hope you don't mind I call you that but we like to shorten things up around here). I believe all of us regulars have road bikes from the LBS (local bike store). I started out on a mountain bike and once I got my road bike it was a dream come true. What you will have now will certainly suffice. My recomendation is to just keep riding it and if you find that you truely lonve to ride, then go drop some more serious cash on a road bike. Low end bikes start at around $600.

Oh and the butt does get better.

Don't you know that we on the eastern part of the midwest or the western part of the east coast think there is NOTHING between Illinois and the Pacific Ocean? It's like you have Chicago then Seattle. Nothing in between.

That's not true. There is corn.
