Fat Girl on a Bike

[darling]

Wow, I'm learning so much already. i've been riding daily for a few years now...but only on snowless days and then i ride boringly inside...and of course don't put as much into it. I am so impressed with all of your diligence, ladies! You truly are an inspiration!
I'm new to this forum and very excited to gain insight into this cycle/fitness/community thing...Since my current bike is 40 years old and very well made, i'm not springing for a new one until I know exactly what i want...it'll be so fun to learn!

Good for you, schnitzle! I started riding at 46. Began with a $200 mountain bike (thought I'd spent a fortune--little did I know) then followed the normal progression to a hybrid and road bike. My first ride was 6 miles and I thought I would die. The next year I did my first century and the following year my first triathlon. You will get the bug. It's a wonderful addiction and, no, you don't belong on the couch! Welcome to TE!

Darling, welcome to TE. You will learn a lot here and make a lot of new friends. Maybe we can get a group of St Louis area gals together for a ride.

You go girl! Bike riding has completely changed my life for the better. If you ever come for a visit to the dryside, bring your bike. I would love to show you Spokane's Cenntennial Trail. It's a great place to ride. bikerHen

Thanks BikerHen (Love your screenname!) I might just take you up on that offer My partner is from the Tri-cities so we do go over the mountains every once in a while.

North Seattle, that is. If you want someone slow to ride with, give a holler. I like dogs too, but I won't be bringing crazyboy.
