Sillypat (did i get that right?!)
Way to go!!!
You will get TONS of support here with this group!
Anytime you are feeling down, have questions (even the ones that you think you could never in a millioin years ask) or just need a pep talk...this is the place!
I have learned so much from reading others questions/answers/suggestions, etc.
Tell us about your new baby! Mine sits in the living room !!!!!!! and it's name is "Slick". I LOVE MY BIKE!
Did you find a good seat for it? That will make or break a long ride. I finally found an awesome one.
And, when you start hooking up with other wackos that "Love" their bikes as much as their grown children (!) it really becomes fun.
You mentioned that you are on the larger side?...just keep biking, cut back on some of the carbs, fuel with protien and watch the pounds melt off!
Congratulations on the new stage in your life!
