hoops good fun

Yay I have my hoops back
its so funny I just started hooping again and have little sore points from the metal hoop where it spins along my stomach
Back in Adelaide I used to hula hoop in my house in the back yard
and had quite the routine going from the basic spin to and incorporated a series of tricks and transitions that once complete I would begin again
I actually thought no one else hooped until a few months later all these hoopists started coming out of the woodwork in my last month in Adelaide I spent some great time with a lady who helped me with a couple of routines  and her partner who started teaching me how to juggle which I've all but forgotten

I know have my collapsible hoop that needs a little love and more weight
My Aluminium that I had specially made for me at a pipe benders and then welded up by some other amused people when I showed them a quick routine . which I ended up weighting with salt so its 500g heavier now
Painful at the start as its also quite narrow

And the makings of my monster hoop
This will be purely for training so basic black and over an inch and a bit wide and really heavy somewhere around the one kilo mark
 so I have to work even more. I should have it finished next week so if you see me in pain you know why

And near the end of the year I will be adding two more hoops to my collection
an amazing led hoop that looks stunning at night
and a flame hoop for special occasions and wide open areas

this is the next hoop I want

hopefully I'll get to post a video of my routine once I get it down pat

I got my Baby back

After Two years of being in storage just waiting for me to come and reclaim her
Finally she's back where she belongs
my beloved road bike

My Baby

This was my first real bike

My old beast . I still miss it 

A beautiful Avanti aggressor mountain bike a black and red beast that used to take me on huge day trips around the hillside regions of Adelaide was unfortunately stolen by of all people a long term and psychological abuser I used to call a friend  $5,000 worth of machine and 16 Years of friendship lost in one week
My local Bike shop knowing my plight offered me A new bike at a ridiculously cheap price
$1,800 for A brand new $4,000 road bike
the lady that owned it had been given the bike from her sponsors for training but she didn't need or have room for it  in amongst her Two training bikes and her $15,000 dollar track bike
it still took me a while to come up with the money but My first real ride was a lovely 2 hour trek in the hills
pretty soon I was clocking up almost 600 kilometres a week and feeling and looking great

So now at last I have my bike back . She needs to go in for a thorough service first
But I can tell were going to have so much fun together
in my last job I used to have an opportunity to take my bike out for rides around Frankston Dromana and Red hill and various other areas that would have been fun to ride around and see the sights
As I used to be finished work by 3:30 and had plenty of daylight left to go sightseeing

I'm looking forward to seeing how quickly I can regain the level of fitness I used to have And how my body looks without this extra layer of blubber I seem to have acquired
Its just a pity I cant pick where I lose it from but as long as I get my Dimples of Venus back I will be a very happy girl .

So Next week I can actually take it for a proper ride and seeing I have my hernia fixed that will hopefully make things a lot more comfortable especially with the carbon seat that has all the resistance and comfort of a brick.

Funny thing Is I might be in an opportunity to trade it for another mountain bike after a discussion with a bike shop in Sunshine so if it not the "Bumble Bee" it will be the "Ice Queen"
yum ice cream
