Woke up middle-aged, 45 pounds overweight, and looking for my bicycles!

(I admit to good naturedly perpetuating the thinking that it rains all the time here)

I know you do that on purpose to keep us from all moving North.

Naw, it doesn't rain here all winter... the air is just really "soft."

I think I'll stick to the dry area of WA. Most people don't know it exists. LOL

Now for On-Topic - I'm not middle aged but was very active in HS and college. Then I got married, had kids, and quit taking care of myself. In the past 10 years I put on nearly 50lbs and my hormonal mood swings have taken a turn towards PMDD. This spring I started biking on my garage sale mountain bike and joined a local bike club. I've now graduated to a road bike so I don't get left behind by the club any more and I am hooked! I've lost 20lbs and gained some nice muscle tone and endurance. I'm starting to feel fit and it's done wonders for my mood!

Keep us updated on your progress!!

Your secret is safe here. My sources say there is even .... drum roll ... wine country in WA.

But back to topic, it's winter and I bike to work less often, well, not at all. But I've started jogging/walking with the doggie every morning. I don't know if I've lost any weight but deffinately feel better and think I look a tad better.

The mutt likes this habit too, that's most important.

he-he-he-he...busted... am sure that you'd be the exception to that though, Trek!
