Riding my bike

As a volunteer clown, participating in functions to help children, I often ride one of those silly little bikes where my knees are above the handle bars. As a chubby clown I had problems riding them. As a slim downed clown the small bikes are much easier although I prefer my carbon frame, Kestrel Road Bike now. Now that I am almost to my goal I plan to spend the next ten years riding my bike in events across the USA. The plan is to ride in five events each year which will give me whole USA after ten years. There are many bike rides sponsored annually by worthy charitable organizations. Riding my bike will allow me to help others while helping myself maintain my newfound slimness. I wanted to commit to this on the state forums as a reminder to myself that the surgery is only the first step; a life-style change is imperative if I want to maintain. I intend to do that on my bike. Kim

Good for you!!!!!!!! I say go for it after all that smile on those children faces makes it all the more worth the sacrifice. If I had to do it over again I would in a heart beat after all I have a lot to give. God Bless You!! Henrietta

Kim, You have inspired me to ride a bike! I used to love bike riding and intend on doing so again. Thanks for the inspiration! Blessings, Diane
