Because I enjoyed this.

Can someone please do that in the US Congress? Or Texas House?

Hey guys,

Thought I'd say hello. Been lurking these forums a while but never checked in here (I'm more a stay at home, jillian michaels circuit training sort of boy )

Met a few dudes into personal fitness but they were either bro-tards or muscle mary's so have sort of stuck to it on my own. Dropped 35kg's, tried being an anorexic lady gaga twink for a while, then became a hermit :P

Still working towards my goal but it's mostly a balance of enjoying food, booze and liking what I see in the mirror.

Studying I.T at the moment. I ****ing love david attenborough, strategy games, goth rock/metal and war history. That's probably enough of an intro.

Just thought it was cool to see this thread here honestly... It's intimidating enough trying to get in shape, let alone when you're a gay weirdo from the moon. I'm still too awkward to actually go to a gym, but it is probably inevitable after I've hit my next fitness hurdle.

Welcome, Robbie. Feel free to post anytime and whatever you want to talk about. Doesn't have to be gay-related or fitness-related. Hope you enjoy your time here on our boards.

I finished the AIDS Life Cycle this past Saturday and absolutely loved it. It's a 545 mile bicycle ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles over 7 days. There were 2203 riders this year and 550 roadies. I signed up for next year's ride after Day 2! I highly recommend it if you're interested in seeing California like you've never seen it before, getting the warm and fuzzies from going through communities that love these riders, helping a great cause by raising money and awareness, and you also get to see some great eye candy.

Here's a sample of some pictures from the ride:



There was food everywhere. Rest stops had pop tarts, cliff bars, nuts and bananas (*giggle*), and fruits. They provided lunch along the way, and there were camps every night with ample food for dinner and breakfast. Even though I burned about 3800 calories per day, I only lost 1 lb and sadly it wasn't all fat. Oh well. But at least my legs look great! Now I need to fix my farmer's tan and get back to the routine.

Welcome to the newbies! Always good to welcome another Chicago boy....born and raised there myself....

And congrats chochua on finishing the race...I had two friends who did it this year as well...

[bhujerban]

Great pictures! Thanks for sharing. (Did that guy actually ride a bike in that dress???)

Thanks for the welcome. How are things in FL? I lived in Ft. Lauderdale for six years for work and am thrilled to be back, especially since the Blackhawks are doing so well.

Hullo newbies - Loving the pics of the bike race btw.

Thanks! It was a lot of fun! Had they done it before or was it their first year?

[chochua]

Yes he did! It was impressive to see what some people rode their bikes in!

These guys were dressed up as the Kardashians. And I just found out yesterday that I know them from my San Diego training rides. I had no idea it was them when I took the picture



They say the boobs got in the way. lol

The themed rest stops were very cool. There was a military one



There are some hot roadies.

Everyone be happy for me!

I got accepted to Vanderbilt. Time to move to Nashville. I am excited and terrified. The south always like the land of hate crimes but maybe it will not be as bad as I think it is.

[LoL Rick]

When are you going? Hubby and I will be there for 4th of July weekend. Softball tournament, of course.

I would LOVE to be in Chicago right now pulling for DA HAWKS!! If the series is still going on, I ill be packing a hockey sweater to take on our Caribbean cruise next week...!

lol. of course.

Since I got the new yesterday, I am still trying to organize so many details. I will probably not be moving until the Fall for sure. As for a couple of visits, I know I will be there in August but most likely at least one more time to evaluate potential apartments/neighborhoods for living. The 4th might be too soon to make it for me.

No...but I got a brother who lives in Hamilton...
Welcome

Love Toronto..just haven't been for awhile...

[GlitzPianoman]

Thanks for the welcome!

Yeah, I love Toronto too, though I've moved out to the 'burbs very recently. What do you like doing when you come to town?

[Misti]

2 weeks out from the Great Gay Off. Seriously trying to cut up this last chunk of stubborn body fat. Everything is looking nice and in shape so far - nice lumps and bumps and proportion in my muscles - then theres this packet sitting on my belly and though its tighter and flatter - oddly that makes it stand out all the more! Grr. Still Cardio upped and now on the carb free.

Chicago Pride is next week! This year the committee has the Festivlol on the 22-23, but the parade on the 30th. I missed last year's parade, but I am not crazy about parades. Ought I to go next week? I have church next week but maybe I can switch with Dixie so I can be on that bus early and not miss the fun this year. And I can't go to both!

Ah, decisions! Please Halp?

[MiamiSpartan]
