Team We heart T.I.T.S. (Page 4)

I got started on my goal today! This will be a real challenge for me since riding in general, and especially on the trainer, is not one of my 1st choices for a good time!

Just so you all "get" it, I call my bike "grandma". That's how I'll refer to her in my blog. "She's" a 33ish y.o. Peugeot 10-speed that my MIL handed down to me so I could actually have a bike to do this thing called triathlons, which I'd wanted to do for a long time.

 I have lost enough weight to move to the next size smaller shorts...  MUCH better!  Not so baggy!

Just so you all "get" it, I call my bike "grandma".  That's how I'll refer to her in my blog.  "She's" a 33ish y.o. Peugeot 10-speed that my MIL handed down to me so I could actually have a bike to do this thing called triathlons, which I'd wanted to do for a long time.   My first couple of races were done on borrowed friends' bikes until this relic was brought down from an attic in their garage.  It's certainly served it's purposes (we've survived 2 seasons together), but she's not the easiest thing to ride - 31 lbs, she doesn't always like to use all of her gears, she likes to spit out her chain occasionally, and she's a bit small for my frame.  Anyway, with all of the downfalls, I'm glad to have her, or I wouldn't be able to have all of this fun!    As you can see, I have to have a good sense of humor about "grandma" or I'd have thrown her to the curb a long time ago!  (shhhhh... don't tell her....) 

First ride in a month!  Windy, cold, looked like rain but felt great to get out!  I have lost enough weight to move to the next size smaller shorts...  MUCH better!  Not so baggy!  Took it easy as the wind was blowing me around.  OK February Challenge, we are off to a good start! 

Nice little hour long jaunt, 14.8 Miles down and 85.2 to go...  Rain forecast for tomorrow but Tuesday is looking really good!

Go TEAM!

Hey everyone. It's great to be on the team!!

I got my first ride of the month in this morning. I was pretty slow, and there were some icy spots that slowed me down even more, but I did get in my planned mileage, so it was a good start to the month.

Just a warning to all you “lucky” people who can actually bike outside this time of the year ! Paying attention to road signs is not always the best idea !!!!

Got some AWESOME T.I.T.S. this afternoon-- 68 degrees and sunny!!! There's a lot of things I don't like about Virginia, but the weather isn't one of them :-)

The weather got me today, but tomorrow is looking better.  I will not ride in the snow.  I posted a photo in my training log.  No run, no bike... a melt down day.  Well, the snow has melted so that is good for tomorrow...

I posted a photo in my log.

Good to see all the miles, keep up the good work my friends.
