Hi All
I posted a bit over a year ago. I practically stopped riding last summer. New love, second job, blah blah blah!!! Now I am back on my bikes. I have a mtn bike I use for cruising and errands and a road bike for distance.

You ladies gave me a lot of inspiration last time. I will be looking for a lot more as I try to loose the pounds I have packed on.

Ride on!

I need some nudging! I am great riding the river greenway and urban assault riding. But, dang, I am feeling a little intimidated by Mojito, my roadbike.

Welcome back, Slowpoke! It was all here waiting for you and I guess that's the beauty of the bike... you can always get back on and ride!

Are you intimidated by the bike or by riding on the road/traffic? What's scary about it?

Welcome back!!! The best thing about riding is it never goes out of style and you never forget how to do it. Glad you're back in the saddle.

Let me see, what's to tell.....I have two main bikes. My roadie is a Bianchi Eros Donna in Kandy Mango (her name is Carman, as in Carman Miranda with the dancing fruit headress!!) and my mtn bike is a Gary Fisher Marlin. It's green with purple extensions and I call her skittles!
I'm a middle aged overweight single mom. Yep another fat chick on a skinny bike LOLOL. My first goal of the summer is a 25 mile ride for Tour De Cure. It's not much, I've ridden further, but not in over a year!

It is nice to meet you Slowpoke. I am new to the forum so I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself also. I am a married mom to 3 (Oldest at FSU, second about to graduate and head to FSU, and one finishing middle school). I live in central Florida in an area with wonderful deserted roads for biking. My husband began cycling four years ago and I got started last September. I started with a Trek Pilot 5.1 and my dh surprised me with a Madone 5.2 on Valentine's Day. I ride mostly with a fantastic bike group who are super supportive. I rode my first century yesterday. I have already learned so much by reading past posts. There are only 2 other women who ride consistently with the bike group and it is definitely helpful to get information from the ladies here. I look forward to getting to know you all better.
