So wonderful to hear your story, Mary!
Very touching that someone bought that bike for you and very inspirational that you have truly embraced a new lifestyle and are getting healthier every day! It sounds like you are fully in charge of those impending winter months too!
Best to you!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

I'm heading home for three-and-a-bit weeks on the 4th.
Drink coffee and do stupid things faster with more energy.

Your story is so inspiring!
Thanks for sharing it with us Mary! I want to share your story with my two sisters who give me every excuse under the sun why they cannot bike or do any form of exercise. I tell them if the mind is willing . . . they just have to believe in themselves. And JUST DO IT!
I can see that you truly believe!
And here's to summer . . . just around the corner!

You are one amazing woman, Mary. If your story doesn't inspire, I don't know what will. I wish you every success in your journey!!

Mary, as a woman of 62 and a new biker, with lots of health problems and 300 lbs packing me down, I found your story to be the best inspiration I've ever encountered in my life!!! I am riding as a tribute to you!!!

Bump for newcomers by request...
I will post an updated version of the story soon... Grandson #2 is waking and NOT happy right now so Grandma has to run.
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches
