Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004a slight Food & Exercise addendum
Just decided to do a set of pushups to see if I could exceed my previous PR of 18 reps -- did 20 :-). This is guy-style, from the toes -- not too bad for a 56-year-old lady, I think.

Beverly, I think you are a natural-born translator. I never would have come to that conclusion, but now it makes perfect sense! I must admit I got a fit of the giggles reading the post and Chris' response (which mirrored mine). I thought "hangry" was a typo for "hungry" and couldn't figure it out for the life of me. BTW, did you do your stint as bike leader yet? I can't remember when that was scheduled for!

I was the ride leader a week ago and I received positive feedback from the senior patrolmen. It was fun and I'm looking forward to doing it again.

That is great! How long of a ride (distance and/or time?) We had a hairy experience last Sunday (not yesterday) when my bike fell off the car on the freeway and we didn't notice it for at least 2 miles -- good ending, though -- three people stopped to tell us where it was and other than needing a tune-up and being pretty scratched up, the bike is OK. Thank God it didn't fly through someone's windshield. I still think someone (perhaps one of the rowdy young boys at the Dairy Mart when we stopped) deliberately undid the latches on the bike rack, because it's physically impossible for them to get undone themselves -- we tried all sorts of methods to recreate what might have happened and we couldn't get the latches undone despite any amount of deliberate shaking, etc. Anyway, the worst part of the day was when BF fell in the middle of a four-lane highway we had to cross -- it was just bad luck and bad timing but he ended up OK despite a bruised wrist, sore shoulder and badly skinned knee. This past weekend was disaster-free, thank God! (Though Thursday I came back to the car after a 20-mile ride and found that the car tire was flat. Someone nice put the "doughnut" tire on, though, and so it was another happy ending.) Mary > > Yes. I was the ride leader a week ago and I received positive feedback from > > the senior patrolmen.

We have a variety of riders with different levels of experience. It sounds like someone tampered with the bike rack. I've never had a bike come loose on mine. My bikes have probably seen as many miles on the rack as they have on the road<g> I've hauled them to NY, Missouri, Virginia, etc. I hope you don't have another weekend like that one! I'll be out biking tomorrow. My company gives us two days off each year to do volunteer work in the community. My bike patrol qualifies as volunteer work! I'm joining some of the senior members for a PB (Panera Bread) ride then we'll head to a neighboring county to do some riding there. I've been checking out their website today so I can make a wise (or at least not so damaging) choice for breakfast<g> Beverly > It was a 16 mile ride. Most of the rides are 12-20 miles in distance.

Me too! Just FYI, later that week (Thursday), my friend and I got back from a 20-mile ride to find that my car tire was flat. But a nice man put on my "doughnut" tire for me till I got new tires later that day -- so I don't expect to have that problem again anytime soon! And I talked to one of the cops about how dangerous the four-lane highway is to cross, and he said that they are going to build a bridge for the bikers over that road.

I eat at Panera occasionally and find that their Ciabatta bread doesn't cause me undue cravings. Not like those Asiago bagels which I used to *love* and eat two at a time ... or four ... oops. :-) Mary > Beverly > We had a hairy experience last Sunday (not yesterday) when my bike fell > off the car [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > latches undone > despite any amount of deliberate shaking, etc. What kind of rack are you using? I have a Thule that goes in the trailer hitch of my SUV. In addition to the straps on the rack, mine came with a long nylon strap that I can use to tie the bike(s) to the rack. One time I actually left the bike trail with the bike hanging on the rack and the tie strap in place but I forgot to do the straps on the rack itself. Luckily the swaying bike caught my attention in the rear view! Anyway, you might consider an additional bungee or nylon strap just for situations like this where someone screws with your rack. Glad things worked out ok for you. Jenn > What kind of rack are you using? I have a Thule that goes in the trailer > hitch of my SUV. John bought a Thule also, but he doesn't have a trailer hitch -- so it's the one that connects in a million places on the car trunk. He says next time he buys a car, the trailer hitch will be a prerequisite! In addition to the straps on the rack, mine came with a > long nylon strap that I can use to tie the bike(s) to the rack.

Yes, we really should have had the bikes strapped together -- but the bike rack has been fine before and since -- though I noticed he was driving really slowly to our ride last weekend! :-) > Glad things worked out ok for you.

Yes, I sure hope so -- but I had left out the story about coming back to a flat tire on my car the following Thursday after a 20-mile ride -- it just sounded too whiny, LOL. So I hope now I am *really* disaster proof, knock knock!
