Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - Best day of my life!!! My G/F rocks!! PICS!!

So yesterday i weighed in at 340!!! woo hoo thats 60 lbs in less than 3 months!

#2 i came home from work and found a Trek Remedy 7 in my bathroom for my 26th B-Day from my wonderful G/f.

I was in shock!!!! I couldnt believe it.

My second notion was o no it dual suspension and at my weight i could have problems. She told me that she extensively talked to the LBS and they talked with Trek and they were confident that they could put enough air in the shocks to handle my weight!!!

So i went riding last night and man WOW its awesome!!!!

Marry her now!!! Congrats, dude, nice ride.

And happy belated birthday!

MM

+1, that gal is a keeper!

Congrats on all counts and enjoy your day! Happy Birthday. :D

+ 20 to both posts. She is a keeper and marry her now. Plus seeing the picture dang she is also cute!!!!! Wait dont marry her give the rest of us a chance *LOL* I wanna new bike toooooo!!!

Seriously though congrats on the birthday and new bike man.

Congrats!

Good Lord! She is beautiful. And that is a great looking bike too :innocent:

Your a lucky man. There are guys out here grinding their teeth right now with jealousy.

She supports the things that give you pleasure and that speaks volumes.

She is a keeper!

Woo-Hoo!!! What a happy birthday indeed!! I probably would have peed myself if I walked in on that (especially when you consider that I already had to go in the first place)! Ride your new bike to the closest jewlery store and get her an engagement ring before someone else on this forum does :D

So what happened to the tassels and the bulb horn from picture one to picture two? They will help you be seen and heard ya know :lol:

HAHA thats what she said why did you take the horn off ?? I was like umm so they dont get messed up in the trails and i can save them forever!!

Well it WAS awesome until you removed the awesome! What are you going to do when someone doesn't hear you coming! :thumb:

Lucky guy!! I agree, marry her. Does she ride as well?

congrats

Smokin' Hot! Oh yea, cute GF too:D

Dude, update your sig line already! It's missing a bike.

Congratulations. Nice Chic....I mean Trek. Awesome weight loss in 3 months time too. Keep it up brother.

Congratulations!
Nice bike.
Nice girl.
Nice bathroom.
Does she clean it for you too?

Lucky guy!! I agree, marry her. Does she ride as well?

She does i bought her a trek 820 a few months ago. She goes to Hanna Park with me once in a while. And road rides with me once in a while. She is still getting to the point where she can ride for decent distances though!

Congrats on both counts! Wow...60#s in 3 months... awesome.

A wonderful gift - but just a word of caution - I can appreciate what the shop told you but the shock, no matter how good it is and how much air you put in, is not made for your weight. Just remember that - ride the bike carefully until your weight drops, no big drops, hits and/or craziness. Just enjoy nice cross country trails.

Congrats!!! On everything..

Good job on the weight loss! I also agree with what most have said, with a girl that pretty, who buys bikes as presents, you need to pop the question quick before someone else catches on to what you got and steals her!

I would like to join the campaign for "Return of Tassles and Horn!" Otherwise, very cool!

Congratulations, keep her!

Wait a minute?????? You bought her an 820, and she bought you a............REMEDY?????:wtf:

(Scene from "What happens in Vegas") "Dude, its a trick....That doesn't happen" :roflmao2:

Nice whip. Marry that girl now.

In the picture to the right it looks like the bike is already at the pawn shop!!! LOL!

Can I buy that ticket off you?


P.S. I joke because I am jealouse=/

Wait a minute - why is the bike taking a piss in the toilet? (picture on right)

on edit: I just checked the MSRP on that bike. What are you waiting for? go get a ring!

As mentioned above, congratulations on everything! 60 lbs in 3 months is fantastic! That bike is fantastic, and your girlfriend is definitely fantastic. You better pop the question before someone beats you too it.

Nice bike...

Congrats

Wait a minute?????? You bought her an 820, and she bought you a............REMEDY?????:wtf:

I was going to bring this up but like usual jboyd beat me to it :lol:


Anyways, we demand action pictures of Big Lug trailing with the streamers and horn!!!!! I don't think your lady would mind taking a few pictures of you riding the Remedy.

Touche :thumb:

You were a very lucky man before she bought you that bike. Now you're a very lucky man.

Does she have a sister????


Possibly is her Mom single???

Ok maybe it's me but We normally don't leave birthday presents in the bathroom. Am I missing something here? Congrats on everything but explain please.

on edit: I just checked the MSRP on that bike. What are you waiting for? go get a ring!

I just went to inquire after reading your post... :eek: Was my reaction.
Seriously... get two rings just in case.

Did you see the bike? Who cares where it was left/hidden. I just figured it would be the last place he was expecting to find such a thing, and that's where his... hopefully soon to be, fiancee put it.

A little late, but congratulations! You're one lucky guy, as the rest said you need to ride to the jewelry store and pick out a ring!

Yes, i know we need to make it offical. And we will she just wants to wait until we get a house a stuff. So i am trying to respect her wish of waiting until we get a house instead of this tiny townhome that all our bikes are next to the dinner table :)

Does she have a sister?:D

CONGRATS!!!! Now put a ring on her finger.... Beautiful girl, bought you a bike, and rides with you.. KEEPER!!

I did not even pic up that you where in Jacksonville as well. Congrats on the new ride and agree, she is a keeper. Where do you typically ride? Do you ride road or strictly off road? I thought about taking my sons Trek 3900 out to Hanna, but have yet to do it. I live on the Southside and that is quite the trek out there.

Forget waiting, if you wait for the perfect time, you will have died of old age before you do. The perfect time is when you decide you want to spend the rest of your lives together. If families want a huge wedding complete with circus clowns and dancing bears, just make sure they spell your name right on the cheque:D. Technically all you need for a wedding is a licence, someone who is authorized to officiate and a witness or two.

We normally ride at Hanna about 2 times a week!!! Would love for you to join us one day!!! PM me your email address and i will add you to our email list that we email around to all the people that we ride with.
We also ride at lunch time during the week for some short fast rides over behind the ST. Johns Town Center a few times a week also. Then lastly we ride once or twice a week on the road in the Bartram/210 area. Just let me know!!

Too true. Some things, like weddings and the arrival of children, are so disruptive (in a good way!) that there is never a 'good' time for them. Go for it, and you will find your families will clear their calendars.

Even better (stealing an idea from the Internets...), ride to the wedding on separate bikes and leave on a tandem.

60 pounds that fast....awesome results.

Your girlfriend sounds wonderful, too.

You are doing extremeley well on both counts. Congrats on getting the weight off prior to reaching your 30's.
