Rode as a kid in Illinois--very happy memories of riding my bike to swimming lessons one summer. Rode out of necessity in HS and college. Got fat and depressed. Had chronic pelvic pain. Got divorced.
Then one summer, I signed up to do a triathlon because a friend wanted someone to do it with her. Rode a rusty, falling apart Schwinn, borrowed a "real" tri bike for the race, and got hooked. I'm no longer fat, depressed, or in chronic pain. I ride for joy, and to get better at it. I ride to get around, and did I mention for the joy of it?Looking forward to warmer weather, and getting back out there! (Temp at noon in Chicago today = 1. One degree. ~1!~) My first tri of the season is May 21, only 91 days away!
