Re: Keeping Erg Outside?
As much as we loved the area closer to the beach where fog would be an issue, we are looking for houses a bit more inland due to the schools and commute times. It is much drier and very brown.
Thanks all for the advice. Will make sure I have the cover ordered and proper bolts.

Keeping Erg Outside?
Does anyone keep their erg outside? I have not actually been on my erg anytime in recent memory, mostly due to the fact that this summer we are moving...about 3000 miles away to southern California as Dennis's job was transferred. While most people go to CA with a big happy smile on their face, I am...

Re: The KIM (Keep It Moving) Training Thread
I am reviving this thread. After 5 days at Disney plus 4 more in the car to and from visiting various relatives along the way, a lifetime off the erg in the preceding months, I moved today...yes on the erg. My heart screamed obscenities at me the entire time...even though my pace would indicate I wa...

Very sorry to hear you got such bad news, but glad Beryl has approached it with a positive attitude. Wendy's advice was great and hope that you and Beryl are blessed with some good days in the upco...

Re: 2012 Weight Loss Thread
Great job Scoop!
July 23...156lbs
July 30...150.9...-5.1lbs
Funny thing is all I have done is eat normally, without the summer time treats like ice cream and beer. So the water weight is gone, but the remaining 16 lbs to get back to lightweight will be harder.

Re: Happy Birthday CWeed
Thanks for the birthday wishes! Had a nice relaxing day with the family on vacation. When we got home this weekend Dennis made a lovely birthday dinner and the kids created a very tasty cake with enough candles to create a blinding blaze.
Today my present to myself was carving out time to erg.

So unfit right now. Somebody come kick me in the butt if I do no...
