    Moved!

    Hey y'all!

    Recently moved from NoCal to Texas (south of Dallas). The economy ate my job in CA but my parents invited me to come home so (thankfully) I have a roof over my head AND I'm back in my old home state.

    Anybody in the Waxahachie-Midlothian-Ellis area? If yes, let me know. Once the heat abates I may be ready to try peddling again after a long absence.

    Later!

    no regrets!

    My ride: 2003 Specialized Allez Comp - zebra (men's 52cm), Speedplay X5 pedals, Koobi Au Enduro saddle

    Hi everyone. I just found this group today! I've only been biking 2 weeks so I'm really a newbie. Biking mostly for exercise and as a way to cope with losing my son. I really let myself go after he was killed and this year finally decided it's not what he would want. So far Ive lost 40 lbs and hoping biking will help take the rest off. Really enjoying it and so thankful my friend talked me into trying it again!

    Real name: Pam

    Where do you live? Minnesota

    Explanation of your handle: Ryan is my son who was killed when his car was hit by a semi 3 years ago. He was an amazing young man.

    Explanation of your avatar: I don't have one

    Age (general or specific) 48

    Occupation: Non practicing artist, full-time mom

    Favorite bike: I'm just getting into riding so it would have to be my Trek

    What's in your stable? Trek Neko S 2012

    Fastest speed on a road bike? where? when? No clue, just got my bike computer but I'm sure it isn't fast.

    Another picture of yourself or your ride? I prefer to be behind the camera! No pics of my bike.

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: "I'm ok" Standard response when someone asks me how I'm doing in regards to my son.

    Most memorable moment on my bike: I've only been riding a couple of weeks but would have to say it was when I crashed into a sign first time out while turning. I swear it reached out and grabbed me. Thankfully only my son witnessed that ever so embarrassing moment, but refuses to let me forget it.

    Most fun ever had on a bike? Honestly I have to say is was back in the days I had one of my kids on the back.

    What is the biggest lie you've ever told: I think I'll plead the 5th. The biggest lie I ever told was around a deeply personal experience.

    Most memorable moment on my bike: The first time I tried to ride up this big hill near my house. I wasn't in any shape to be trying a hill like that to begin with, and it was the first time riding with my then BF (now DH). I had an exercise-induced asthma attack and was absolutely mortified. It was a horrible experience.

    Most fun ever had on a bike? Getting up that hill that was my "Most memorable moment" a couple of weekends ago without issue. DH was with me then, too.
