Meet Linzee

That's Linzee. Ain't she great? She joined la familia a couple days ago, much to the seeming dismay of my husband. She and I are going to become goooood friends.

I'm Jodey...mom to 2 boys, wife to 1, at least for the moment.

About 6 weeks ago, I took a trip by myself to make some decisions about life and came home really inspired to try to get healthy. I was already a member of a gym, so I started doing the elliptical machine again. That was fine and dandy, but boring as hell. So I hopped on one of the stationary bikes there, only it turns out the bike isn't so stationary. You actually choose your route/tour and you have to steer while you pedal through your chosen ride. Pretty cool and quite UN-boring. Indoor cycling, as well as friends who ride outdoors, have led to a desire to ride outdoors (cuz I wanna be like Mike :P)...*enter Linzee, stage right.*

So there ya go. The story of how Linzee and I met at Wal Mart (yes...I know...no, really, I KNOW...embarrassing to buy a bike from Wally Hell, but you gotta do what you gotta do) and fell in love. And hey - they gave me 10% off because she has some character scratches. ;)

My idea for this blog is to regale you with tales of me not busting my ass on the beginner trails here in central NC...but who knows? You might luck out and get some ass busted Jodey stories too. Ya never know. That alone should keep you checking back. But if not, there's always the photos I'll be sharing of my journeys around the trails. Not only am I learning to ride, I'm learning to shoot too. (Though I've been at the photo thing for almost a year now).

Enjoy...and laugh. Laughing is good for the soul.
