Has anyone taken up Bycyling?

[Turler 6]

Way to go BG! It is definitely a different ride, but you'll get used to it in no time! Dont' let the skinny tires fool ya...they're quite capable of making sharp turns! (Think Tour de France!)

My bike might look like Lances but I ma willing to bet his skinny tires cost more per tire than my entire bike.....

Glad you got to ride BG! It's about damn time!!

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?????

BG!!! Awesome!

I got out today too! I only fell one time. Yeah, I was trying not to unclip at a light, like I know we'll start moving before I fall over...not so.

For those who are counting that is fall number 3. The last one was on Sunday in the parking lot after a 25 mile ride. WTF? I was looking at people while slowing down. guess I was stopped before I knew it I was on the ground.

Today's fall is by far the least painful. UGH.

Yuck on the rain. LOL on the driver comment!

J that is too funny. I was so close to falling on the wet grass earlier. Big Sexy just got stuck in the mud lol. I freaked out but managed to unclip in time.

I am not going to lie, I am slightly nervous about the 50/60 miler. Yeah I know, stop being a whiney candy ass.

[OH Juli 15]

You know, if the morning of you feel like you really can't do it we can opt for the 30 miler.

[babygrl1234 6]

Dammit I will not admit defeat until I am in the back of the SAG wagon after keeling over dying on the 50/60.

[OH Juli 15]

Hehehehe

Back of SAG wagon...I hear you sister. I really feel like we'll be able to do it. We might be wiped out for the rest of the day, but we'll get it done.

Right?!

[babygrl1234 6]

Heck yes we will. We are some tough determined broads. I'm game to die trying.

[TexasFire 84]

J and BG...Y'all crack me up! You sound just like me! The only way I admit defeat in such matters is 1)when I completely lose consciousness while trying or 2)in the event of my own death!

I am excited as hell, but I am also so freaked out about doing the MS150! It's not the 150 miles that freaks me out...it's thinking of riding DAY TWO's 75 miles after my ass has all night to get good and sore after DAY ONE's 75 miles! I think it would be much easier to do 150 in one whack! But I invested heavily in a pair of the best Pearl Izumi cycling shorts that I hope will keep that from happening! The guy at the shop said that Pearl backs them up and to bring them back if they don't perform to my satisfaction. Here's hoping!

Eh...you're right...you two are a couple of tough broads and you will do just great! Make sure you take pics along the way for us! I'll be taking pics this Saturday during Tour Dallas so I can post them here.

[babygrl1234 6]

TX I have been thinking the same thing about my week long trip. Not only do I get 50 miles per day but then I get to sleep on an air matress in a tent lol.

You are going to do great you sexy mama.

[babygrl1234 6]

Oh and of course we will take pics. These are 2 scrapbookers you are talking about.

[babygrl1234 6]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Party cloudy and 60 both days this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
