Guys, I passed a literal milestone today. I've peddled 1005 miles since Dec 1, 2012. According to my doctor I've lost 15 pounds, PSA, Liver, BP, Cholesterol, in fact all my readings have improved. The best part is I haven't given up a single beer or plate of pasta! The wife and I ride just about everywhere. My Tundra and her Jeep have been used so seldom that the batteries are letting us know it. :D

Put a generator on that chariot, recharge your cell phone and laptop batteries from
all that work. What a two-fer.
Congrats on finding a way to improve your health while enjoying yourself.

Are you saying I have a fat face or that all this exercise will make me look younger? :p

Ha! I've been considering buying or building a trailer to cart larger road jewels I find. ;)

*steve*'s probably just got beard envy.
Attach the cart to your wife's bike.
Get thinner, just don't have a heart attack.

That's what I was thinking but she'll squawk about that. She's already complaining that she's the one that's always carrying any extra crap. I assure her that I'm helping her loose weight that way! :D

Watch it, next she'll suggest a bicycle built for two. (WITH the cart on back).
p.s. *steve*'s beard is prettier, but CDRIVE's is more distinguished.

Yesterday was my 67th birthday so I found it rather poignant that my odometer turned 2007 miles the same day. I'm still deeply in love with her.

Wow, you could almost be to the west coast by now.
Still happy with the potential health benefits of riding?
And is your other sweet-heart, (you know, the one who married you),
Still your side-kick on the ride-alongs?
Happy (day-late) birthday.

Yes, I love my Trek Pure. The wife? ....She's always right behind me just like good, obedient Japanese wives are. :D
happy birthday Chris :)

Now that's the best image that's ever been sent to me for my birthday. It's so ME!! :D

By the way, some time back a comment was posted about popping by and having a few coldies if ever in South Florida. I never did respond to that, though I searched for where it was posted. Anyway ... Absolutely!! I would love it! ;)

You married wisely.
I expect you'll still be posting here thirty years from now.

Happy Birthday Chris,

From Roger of Philippines

Belated Happy Birthday from me as well :)

Thanks for the BD wishes mates.

You married wisely.

39 years with absolutely no regrets. It's hard to find a woman who finds joy in just pleasing you. Honestly, we can be at a restaurant where I've ordered something that I regretted. Marilynne will say "Here take mine. I know you love this".
