OK ladies, Silver and I rode together each of the last two days. On Thursday, she took me for a 60 mile ride ( not really, it was only 10 miles, but it felt like 60 ). I was riding my son's new Trek Pilot (what a kid to share his Christmas present ).

I hadn't exercised in about two months and the holidays added 10+ lbs ...so I guess it's time for a New Year's resolution...

So, bowing to my wife's superior athletic abilities(and those she associates with ), I willingly submit myself to the accountability and encouragement of this group.

12/30/06: Weight: 190, Waist 35/36, BMI ~29
6 Mo Goal: Weight: 160, Waist 31/32, BMI ~25
'07 Goal: Ride the "Hilly Hundred" in Bloomington and hold my own with the athletically superior love of my life a/k/a "Silver"

I've done this before. I can do this again!

This group (and only this group) has unbridled permission to hold me accountable to this goal. If I am slacking in my progress, you have permission to call me whatever "girly names" you need to get my attention.

I don't want to crash your estrogen laden forum, but can I get my own user name now? A man's forum is way too macho for me...
