I'm so sorry, Mimi! It sucks to see someone you love feeling low and fragile. He'll come through it and regain his energy, you know it. Hugs to both of you!

Catrin, I hope your mom's surgery is successful and that she has a quick recovery.
Mimi, Don is lucky to have you. Does he have any video from his own rides? Would showing him these videos help him feel better, remind him how strong he is? I hope he clears this hurdle and gets back on his bike soon.
Blueberry...where are you again? Sheesh. Do you ride by yourself? How many times has this pervert exposed himself? Any cops on bikes around there?
I just enjoyed a ride with MillieNZ around Lake Miramar - 14 miles. We're meeting again on Thursday to try and better our time. It's nice to have a riding buddy. My goal is to up my miles, better my speed, and drop another twenty pounds. The last time I was successful at losing weight, it was on this bike, around this lake, so here I go.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks
Sending hugs to all who need them! Catrin, Roxy, Mimi & RD- and anyone else who needs a little extra support right now.

Thanks for the thoughts gals!! I love this place!!
Roxy, sorry you've had experiences with others about your weight. Sad as it might be, I think society has gotten desensitized to weight issues and the asumptions that "fat" people just can't push themselves away from the table, and ridicule is OK because they are to blame for their own condition.
From one big beautiful lady to another... keep riding and passing all those "skinny" gals.
Mimi... I have no words. Wishing you and hubby both better days ahead.
Indy... I'm taking you up on the hug next time I come over to the Indanapolis or brown co area
Catrin... Thinking of you and your mom. Hope all goes well there and your feeling better.

so you guys don't worry, he's perking up a tiny bit. truly some of the issues are related to the fact that he is an athlete. super efficient at getting rid of excess water!

Bici & Bici DH, glad he's perking up.
I was worried about tomorrows general strike in Oakland (I work there).
Would I get stuck on the way to or from? Would I remember all the lyrics to Union Maid, Which Side Are You On? and what's the last chorus to Solidarity Forever?
What if I get stuck there and if so what happens to my mutt?
I'm taking the day off, watching the news from home.![]()
