coming out of lurkdom

[Clare]

I just want to let all you beautiful, insightful, kind, and generous ladies know how much I appreciate being a member of this group. I have been going through some rather difficult times...my Mom died earlier this year, we sold our family home, and university classes were very stressful. Honestly, I felt like I was going to loose it. This forum,...reading all your posts...all the caring and support, and riding my bike have been my mainstay and saving grace. Thank you doesn't really cut it....but its all I have and so just know that its BIG!
I am going to try to be a little more involved ...posting more often, but a new quarter starts early next year and that might keep me busy....I know that it will keep me busy!
Also, I joined Team Estrogen, but my name on that site is Silverbullet. One of these days I'll figure out how to change my name on this site to be the same as that one.
May your New Year be full of love, peace, and joy....Clare

Hi Clare - I hope you have a wonderful and happy 2006. I noticed Silverbullet over on bikejournal, nice to put the two names together.
Happy riding and keep posting when you get the chance - I love to hear what everyone is up to.

Hi Clare- Yes, this is a wonderful group as well as the BJ. Sounds like you had quite a year. May 2006 bring you many pleasures on your bike and with us here.

It would be nice to know where you are from- can't tell from your posts. That way we can encourage you to bike with others from this site should you wish some fun company. I found a whole group of women from this site living in areas from Sacramento to the SF Bay Area. It's been an enriching experience!
