I love these ladies! Seriously! They rock.

Eat a cookie– you look like a stick figure.

As a true Fat Cyclist I call it the,” I kicked your a$$ up the climb and didn’t have to walk” gear. This came affectionately to me as I was climbing Mecalf at livestrong San Jose passing all these awesome folks that didn’t have the right gearing and had to walk.

It sure felt good to know embracing physics has disctinct advantages. That said, the little ring really helps eliminate gravity. I say we call it the Newton Gear. :-)

Here in the 206 area code I’ve heard it called the “bailout gear” because it will bail you out if (when) you suddenly find yourself face to face with a quarter mile or more of glacially carved 15% grade. Or if you like to ride up the Queen Anne counterbalance from time to time.

I shall henceforth call it the bailout gear. Which is appropriate, because that’s what grannies do!

Congrats to the Hammer!

What is wrong with being thin and in shape? Most bike riders are fit and eat healthy. I don’t see anything wrong with this?

Is it just me, or didn’t we see a picture of The Hammer and her two sons in the past. And in that picture a while back the son, who was not the IT Guy, had a little toddler with him (my old brain thinks). So, the Hammer/Runner, has been a Grammer/Gunner for a while…I think.(???)

So it’s kinda cool…Lisa can be celebrated on Mother’s Day in May, and again on September 9th, 2012….(National Grandparent’s Day).

Fatty, I hope you have all these dates ‘bookmarked’ somewhere. You know what happens when you miss a special day.

Oops, her grandmother status . . . I don’t think you’ll ever qualify for that status.

Tell Lisa, congratulations on your grandmother status. Fatty as always, a great blog. You always crack me up. I have to admit I like the Fatty Gear; it saves my knees and helps this chunky butt get up hills. A long time ago, I thought about naming my blog Fat Chick after Fat Cyclist and Fit Chick, but didn’t want to confuse anyone. ;-)

Lisa, congratulations; but please remind Fatty, since he is your husband he is also a step-grandpa or to make it even easier a real grandpa, too! It doesn’t stop when there are blended families. Just thought I’d point that one out, Fatty. From a grandmother who loves it. It really is the best part of parenthood!

The Hammer is too hawt and bad-ass to be a granny. Although Gramma Hamma’ has a nice ring to it.
