I picked a name for my bike...

[JTchaser]

I'm excited about the prelude...I am terribly out of shape and working on that, have quite a bit of weight to lose after several years of weight-gain due to health problems, medications, and depression from being so ill...last year at this time I was looking at a heart and lung transplant, couldn't walk across the room without huffing...this year I'm riding and training for the Century in March!

I'm taking control of my health! Mad Dawg's my health partner!

P.S.

Our bikes are brothers and sisters! I saw your pics, same bike! Love the pink tape...I think my hubby needs to add that to Mad Dawg!

Awesome JT! Sounds like you are well on your way to recovery! I like that you are considering your bike your health partner! I feel that way with Spirit too (I am recovering my heart health as well). I wish you all the best in your training for your ride and with your new bike - go for it!!!!!

Great name!

I just got back from one of the biggest Scifi conventions in the US called Dragon Con. It was awesome!

Is that the Con in Atlanta, GA? I went there several years ago with an ex who was promoting her new book. It was awesome. When I first walked into the hotel I saw a parade of Storm Troopers and about had a fit. I actually squealed! My ex thought I was nuts. It was a blast and I only wish i could go back now that I'm more into the star trek thing. Good for you!

Was on the bike today, thinking about all of you naming your bikes. I tried to think of a name for her and nothing came to me. All I know for certain is that she's a "she", for sure.

I'm figuring I'll be on her one day and I'll have a lightbulb moment where the exact right name will come to me

Love your stories though...

Yup that is the one! I had goose bumps when I saw the storm troopers in the parade!! I am a big fan of Battlestar Galactica (new series) and mostly went for that but there is certainly something for everyone! This was my second year attending and I am already making plans for Dragon Con 09!!

ArielMoon,
Whoo Hoo! I know what you mean. My friend Kandis is ALL atwitter over the new Battlestar Galactica series. She keeps trying to get me to watch but I work nightshift and just haven't caught any of it yet. I had one of the best vacations of my life at the convention. It was so incredibly cool! Everyone around here thought I was nuts because even if they are into sci-fi they just don't get having a convention to celebrate it. Weird people. I met so many great people and the constumes and parades were just wow! I'm glad you got to experience it and maybe if I can swing it I'll see you there in 09.
