Inspiration

Comes in all forms, and this past weekend it came from lots of incredible folks cycling the hills of Montgomery County here near Houston Texas! I have been doing Weight Watchers since January and have lost just under 8lbs. I know any loss is a good loss but I had hoped to be losing more quicker, but patience is the key! I volunteered for the Continental Airlines 7th Annual Cycling Classic on Sunday. I was so inspired by these folks riding, there were young folks, middle aged folks and lots of seniors! The race was a 25, 47 or 67 mile ride and let me tell you I was impressed with how many seniors did the 67 mile ride! I saw lots of spandex while I was volunteering, some good and some not so good, LOL. I spoke to some of the riders as they came into our stop #5 and they were full of inspiration. I don’t know how many times I heard someone say YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! Well, not sure that I have it in me to ride along a highway with lots of rude car/truck drivers passing me by but I think it’s time I get on my bike! Spring is coming and so now is the time to get motivated in so many things! Wanted to share some of my favorite photos taken while I cheered on these amazing folks! I went a little crazy taking photos but the beauty of digital photos is that I can simply delete what I don’t need :) Hope you have an amazing week!

Hey Nancy! You can do this too! Ron and I ride in those bike rallies and they are SO much fun! We have worked our way up to the 100Ks now. We usually do one every other weekend all throughout the summer! It's so much fun and you meet the most wonderful people as you are riding and at the stops (folks like you for instance)!!!! You MUST ride! Ron and I come to Katy for the rides there... :D That's close to you right???
