I keep it small and keep the active ones. Inactive ones get politely purged. I would rather have 5 great friends than 100 strangers on my friends list. As a guideline - I don't normally accept FRs from someone with over 100 friends unless there is a compelling reason, or a personal message as to why the FR.

When not working, I have a farm to take care of, I cycle (alone and with my wife), golf, hunt and fish with my sons. I am also a Clash of Clans player (TH11, lvl 148) especially on foul weather days. I do read and I volunteer often. I find these activities to be so much more fulfilling than binge-watching The…

Cycling - get fitted for a bike with handlebars that put the least amount of pressure on your wrists. No sure about this - but swimming - could also work because you can control the hand speed through the water to limit wrist pressure.

I ride, I golf, hunt and fish with my sons, and I work my farm with all the hard work that comes with it like clearing brush, chainsawing, digging, etc. It might kill me one day, but at least I lived my life not cooped up in a house, inactive and overweight, looking at the idiot-tube and watching 1/2 hour of commercials…

Futuristic and gun toting for me... <3 <3 <3

I own my own business and routinely work 10-12 hour days. I get it - it can drain you - make you feel like you did your taxes for 12 hours. I do, however, get weekends off...because I will work 14 hour days to not have to work on Saturday or Sunday. To give me exercise time...I gave up TV. If I wanted to watch the tube it…

My impression of Shaun T ALRIGHT PEOPLE - LEVEL 1 DRILLS!!! Seriously though. A few important things to know about Insanity: >>>When Shaun T says to recover - hit the pause button (if needed) and recover all the way >>>Consider working out every other day as opposed to daily to give you a chance to recover. It might take…

Last night on the KATY trail...Students are gone from Mizzou, Stephens, and Columbia College and I had the trail all to myself. The isolation is awesome...maybe saw another rider every 30 or 40 minutes.

I am and engineer and came up with the following diagram (made it on PowerPoint - of course). This should explain this thread and the people that use it:

Awesome. If they ever come this way again, be sure to message me. I know a lot of great places to eat, visit, check out, etc. that are all bike accessible.

I use RunKeeper and when going through densely forested areas - it has problems.

My favorite is Diet Squirt Then Coke Zero

Hahaha - I just watched it again...I can't believe this has climbed to almost 1.9MM views. I saw this about 18 months ago when it was maybe 200k views. BTW - this conclusively proves that Unicorns, if they exist, have never been found.

01 - 13.15 04 - 18.37 05 - 14.80 07 - 20.09 09 - 17.63 All miles on the KATY Trail in Central Missouri.

Headed here now...see you in 2 hours :-)

I ride the KATY and MKT trails - so my distance is not impressive like those above, but the burn is every bit as good :-) I just ride 3 or 4 times per week to stay in shape...so no distance goals but I like to keep my average speed in the 13 to 15 mph range which is tough on the trails 01 - 13.15 04 - 18.37 05 - 14.80 07 -…

On your left...

I stopped my bourbon cleanse to get in on this thread...

This one is 18 months old but still one of the coolest trail-cam pics of a turkey that we have ever seen.

Do you like salads? I too hate many cooked veggies - like broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, cabbage...but I have them all raw in a salad I am also extremely prejudiced against peas and lima-beans. I illegally profile them, target them for arrest and jail, and hate them on site - on principal. If I do have to eat them (to be…

Dammit!!! I am "new and improved" - I don't qualify

The fixed bikes look awesome. I would love to try one out. However, I just can't bring myself to plunk down the cash for one though. So... ...I just burn a gazzilion calories on my $600 Jamis Allegro hybrid mountain bike on the very flat, very straight KATY trail. If I want leg day - I sprint until I drop.

I have been wrong for nearly 30 years...but I never knew it until last year B)

Great job on the weight loss. You look great. And nice bike too. I have heard the hills of Florida are incredible for weight loss B) I know this to be a fact as I ride the KATY trail which has maybe 6 feet of elevation change per mile. No coasting either due to fine gravel surface.

haha This is better than FB

I just unfriend them or block their content...and move them into the same company that posts "quotes of the day," "checking in," and other trivial nonsense that clogs up my feed.

Sometimes, to recover, I just hit the pause button and collapse into a fetal position. B)

I totally get it. I ride trails. They are much harder effort than roads. Hands down! However...I am too lazy to wear a HRM and my calorie burns are high enough even using the slower average speed that I am credited with. I am glad I saw your comment on the tire sizes too. I just tried a more technical ride and almost ate…

I ride the trails myself - but as a flat-lander. I know when I get off the KATY trail and jump on the road, my speed shoots up 3 or 4 mph with the same effort. The MFP calorie estimates have to be based on brand-new asphalt-surfaced glass-smooth road-rides with a tail wind. Beautiful pics BTW.

When I was a kid - like 8 or 9 years old, I would go to my neighbors to play with Mark and Jim. In those days parents kicked you out of the house and said don't come back until supper - no matter the time. One time, we got kicked out so their mom (Rosie - of course) could work out with one of those fat melting jiggle…
