Tell me something....

Tell me something about YOU that is not alcohol related.

I'll start, I love photography, and bicycling. For that last three years, I have ridden a century ride (100 miles in one shot). Takes me about 7 hours..

The actual ride is relatively insane, of course, lololol... but the real bitch is training for it, finding the time and all... Those days are behind me, I just got done with a 20 mile ride, it's warm for December in these parts... I'd rather be on my skis, lol...

Skiing yes - lots of time on a bike? No. Triathletes are da bomb. Talk about being fit.

I completed my first two sprint tri's this past summer. UGH, If they had a Super-Clydesdale class, I would have been in it. However, even at 275 I did not come in last. I crushed on the bike...

You guys are speaking my language.....The 3 centuries I did in 2011 on my bike were a blast, but not as much fun as all the 70 to 80 mile training rides I did in preparation for them. 2012, I'm signed up already for a 100 miler in mid Feb and another one at the end of April.

I started listening to Country music 2 years ago and I LOVE IT! I am 42 and never thought I would have children. I have a 10 month old son. God waited until I found the right man/father/husband. I have a lot to be thankful for.

I too love to ride my bicycle, 4 centuries for me last year and my one and only double century was 2 years ago. I pretty much love anything to do with the outdoors, riding bike, camping, hiking, fishing, hunting I enjoy it all.

I'm thinking of doing the Alamonzo 100. It's a ride in Minnesota that is 100 miles, all gravel (Dirt roads) and self supported. I just bought a cyclocross bike that would be perfect.

I have some friends that have done the Alamonzo 100, it sounds like a great race/ride. I'm more about riding than racing anymore but still I like to participate in our local time trials every now and then.
