Just have to remember that the more I ride the quicker the weight comes off. Lost 15 pounds in the last 2 weeks. 40" waist down to 38". Now my pants are falling off at work and my 4x shirts look like tents.
Yeah don't ya just love it, okay 3rd gear, 2nd gear, first gear....
Granny ring, I'm already in the $%#@!*& granny ring, heck that was granny that just passed me with her walker!!!! I find that spring and hills are the worst.
April, what is this freaking mountain, as you walk your bike up most of it.
May, okay no walking this time, it's getting better
June, hey I didn't need low gear that time.
July, don't need the granny ring this time.
August, what hill?
