new life, new bike

at last, the bike-yet to be named-is officially finished and will be seeing dirt very shortly!

however, i'm having a bit of a clothing crisis. i've not really been outside since the sun has been making regular appearances. pealing on my lycra shorts i can really feel the few extra pounds that have appeared after a few weeks of inactivity. my t-shirts cling to bits of me where they shouldn't.

but as jane said i "don't wont to be the women who became obese because she couldn't bear the sight of her self in cycling shorts". so, with those words of encouragement, i'm heading out the door for the inaugural ride. a little self conscious but very excited!

I'm having clothing issues too, need to vary my commuting gear a bit or I'll never get rid of the tan lines!

Ha ha, love it! Jane should think about becoming a motivational speaker or a life coach, or be on TV getting really lardy people into shape. Enjoy your ride on the bike with no name.
