Sounds like a beautiful morning, Cycling@42. May you have many more! :)
Way to go! A beautiful day! Keep it up!
:D lol I choked on my m&m reading that!! I live in Yoder country, too, in Indiana. That's a classic! Tell your SO Thanks for the laugh!
Lots of good experiences shared here, thanks! I got to do labs through my work (at a deep discount) this week, and I'm eager to see the results and know what my iron level is right now. I'll be...
Wow, mom2twins, a serious adventure! The stress of feeling lost really drains the energy (and confidence) right out of me (a directionally challenged person) -- you pulled off a successful ride in...
Would you talk a bit about what iron supplement you use? I was discovered to have anemia last summer, after I'd been on a daily walking program for a good year. It was so low that I was given iron...
So glad to hear you're doing so well! You have an amazing and inspiring story!
Yea, Nanci! I loved reading your report, right in there with you! I sometimes chuckle and imagine myself doing a tri, and am glad for women like you who do it FOR me.... :D ;)
Keep it up, and...
Hi BigDLou,
Welcome to the exciting and exhilarating world of cycling! And I mean it's ALL exciting and exhilarating! Buying the bike included. I bought mine in June, at age 48, after being a...
Hooray, shadon! It's an adventure picturing where you live and ride! We are all so different, yet all have that huge fluttering heartbeat when we bring out the bike (off the bus bike rack - wow!)...
I read about turkey vultures in a bird book. Apparently, when they are frightened, they regurgitate. I once did that long ago at the county fair, but it was mostly cotton candy. :o
If you are...
Shelly, way to go!
I'm hoping to do my first metric century in a couple weeks in a supported ride. You help me know it's very doable. Thanks for inspiring me!
Buzzards! Road-kill-eating, big-as-a-car-wing-span buzzards feeding on a dead something or other as I breeze up on them after making a turn with my DH and DS (dear son) on a rural road.
They...
oh my gosh, Irulan, thanks for that! I needed that so bad this evening! Absolutely rude and hysterical.
Melody, congrats on the new bike and the wonder of riding fast and far! I've had my road bike since June, and it's another piece of the "life is fabulous as you near 50" epoch I am embracing. ...
Unfortunately, I'm still in the "wussy lungs, wussy legs, too" category. BUT I just keep at it anyway. It's SO fun to feel myself getting stronger.
On the other "hills/affirmations" thread on...
Sandy, airing up my tires was the quickest way for me to increase my average mph, too (you'll be amazed!) :rolleyes: :D "I never air up my car tires, what do you mean my bike tires need air before...
Congrats, latelatebloomer,
I'm smiling with you!
I just found this thread. Am so happy to have found TE and this kind of experiential advice. You all cut down tremendously on my trial and error.
And perhaps the best advice of all:
:D I...
My son got me started riding again. He had a "surprise" kidney transplant last summer, and his nephrologist is a serious cyclist and triathlete, who has pretty much inspired all our family to do...
Trek 420! What a helmet! :eek: I can see it now, with little American Flags stuck in the vents! :eek: :p
It's called "the Cannibal?" Sounds pretty much like American economics to me!! ...
My new bike, which I love so much, is red/white/blue. Only comes in red/white/blue. Almost didn't buy the bike because it's red/white/blue.
I love the country (sing it, Woody! This Land is Your...
