Well most importantly we went to a winery in the town we were in yesterday and had $100 worth of wine shipped to our houses lol.

Yeah I had another semi hungover ride this morning hehe.

Anyone have any recommendations for a bike to ride I use to love to ride but after my surgery I want to start riding again.

[babygrl1234 6]

Check out your local bike store as they can help you find something best suited for you.

There are a lot of posts to filter through here but we've talked about how to buy a bike, what questions to ask of yourself and your bike shop people.

What kind of riding do you think you'll do?

How much do you have to spend on a bike?

Will you be biking with other people?

What kind of concerns do you have?

Tell us more about what you're thinking and we can give you some opinions.

The bottom line is that you are not too big to ride, regardless of your size and there are many different ways to get started.

BG, great job!!!!! That is sooooo freakin awesome!!!!

A few comments and questions....

That first picture of the tray of food, tell me you DIDN'T eat all of that.....

The first picture of the people off their bikes pushing them up the hill.....is that common there? That isnt you is it??? LOL...thought I better ask before you bonked me on the head for asking.

And finally, did you get a new bike that I didn't know about sometime? I didn't know you have a road bike....is that yours??? Awesome if so!!! My hubby has the Discovery bike also..

I GOT MY BIKE OFF LAYAWAY....

It is sooooooooooooooooooo awesome!! I love it love it love it. no more shoulder pain.....I love it....my speed has increased by at least 3 mph...its awesome....I will post picture later..

D,

That looks like a bump to me. We got us some real hills in southern Ohio.

[babygrl1234 6]

D I did not eat all of that food. I so wanted to though. I posted that pic mostly for J because I knew she would get a kick out of it.

I did not walk up that giant hill. A lot of people did though. The picture did not really do it justice. It was about a half mile long and I was doing between 5-8 mph on my granny gear. It was a rough hill day lol.

Yes that is my road bike. I heart her.

I did have a few cycling jerseys. I got them on sierra trading post for like $10 each. They are supposed to be XLs but I think they are mediums. Way too tight for my liking but I don't care what anyone else thinks. They would be fine if I had no pannus.

J, LOL..we have MOUNTAINS here...yeah, those hills are killers, and I do granny gear a lot...but this new bike, I think I can do better. I rode 35 miles last night and didn't take it out of third....now thats unusual for me..

[areellady 1]

That food picture was hilarious I thought. I knew you didn't eat it all, and if you did, you would of been going today for a fill...

Here is a picture or two of our newest member of the family....shes a chi... We love her....
