An OFFICIAL (well, I'm not quite AN official here) WELCOME BACK.
You did it before and you CAN DO it again. And you've caught yourself earlier and with a lot more knowledge. And you now have BIKING as both an exercise and an objective that you like.

My exact question. Hey Fred, don't hold back now that you've let out
that teaser. On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 03:25:01 GMT, "Willow" wrote: After today ? is there a tale to be told ? |

I'm more motivated than ever (not that you'd notice from my behavior
today) to shed these regained pounds. Of all things on my to do list today, I managed to cross one thing off. I went to my bike shop and purchased a new bike. It's a Felt SR 81. Last year's model so I got it for a fraction of MSRP. I'll pick it up next weekend after they add a rack, replace the front stem so it'll fit my short body, and generally spiff it up after a long winter in storage. I tested it out by riding around the block a couple of times. It was 35F today, clear blue sky, and patches of snow/ice on the streets. Still, in those 5 minutes, the thrill of riding flooded over me and I left the shop feeling exhilarated. Thanks for the butt kick, Mr. Official.

As I wrote a biking (motorcycle) friend. Not only did I break the
butt but the thighs did not break, they just stopped!!!! (g) It was chilly and hilly but only 36 miles. And it was 1/3 of the ride planned for June! HA! On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 03:25:01 GMT, "Willow" wrote: After today ? is there a tale to be told ? |

But a road bike is sleek and fast and you will notice the ease of pedaling. When I ride my mt bike and then a day or two later, the road bike, it is like floating. 35F and clear and icy - ah, Minn in the Winter Thanks for the butt kick, Mr. Official.
