Hey norcal gal,

When we started riding, my hiney and mid section were quite big as well. I'm conscious of my body shape, never obsessed with it however I wanted to be fit (not skinny, fit as in good nutrition and a healthy cardio system) in some way...and not have to wear baggy shirts all the time ( i still like baggy shirts..) When we bought bikes i thought one day it;ll pay off....

It has...(the kangaroos, the mud, clay & tree roots)...I had the best compliment from my other half the other night after my tri training...He said "you look v sexy in that, almost like a new woman"...He made my night/year/etc...

I'm happy with how i look, it's taken a few years however if this is the beginning of a funky bodaayyy....i'll keep at it...and show my chest off with low cut tops...with an interesting biker tan..tee hee..
