    Snickersmom, I am going to Tampa on December 9th to meet up with these ladies. I already met SpecialK and Pat01 when they drove all the way from Tampa to Daytona Beach to spend a day with other BCo ladies. If your calendar allows we can ride together. Mysunshine also lives in TV but doesn't think she will make it to Tampa. I plan to leave TV about 10 and need to be back in TV by 6. Let me know when you are able.

    I don't think I have anything going on that day and would love to go with you!

    I will let you know as soon as I check my calendar when we get home tonight.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone, and FYI our front gate has now been repaired and is working, so you will need the gate code unless you can follow someone else in. For anyone I PM'ed my address to I should have included the code - just pull into the lane with the keypad. If anyone needs it I will PM it to you!

    I am riding down with Patoo so if she doesn't already have the info, you will need to PM it to her or me. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

    SpecialK - Is the gate code the same as back in 2013? If so, I'm good. If not, could you PM me with it? Thanks so much!

    I was so looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow, however our family Christmas gathering was changed to my house and I've got too much to do with only two weekends before they get here. Husband also has to have a second surgery next week to remove a plate in his hand that's bothering him, from a broken hand repair surgery earlier this year,so he'll be quite useless next weekend. So that leaves this weekend to get the bulk of everything done:/ Anyway, I look forward to meeting everyone at a future get together!

    Merry Christmas everyone!

    twills - oh no! We will miss seeing and meeting you, but it sounds like your plate is full! Stay tuned to this thread for the next get together - maybe in Feb, so Luckynumber47 can be there too! I hope all goes well for you this weekend.

    Thanks to all of the Tampa area BCO sisters for the absolutely wonderful afternoon!! I can't tell you how much I loved meeting each and everyone of you and beginning to get to know you all. Thanks especially to Phyllis for making me go with her, to SpecialK for the wonderful lunch, and to all of you for making me feel like I'm not alone in this journey!

    I'm already looking forward to our next get-together!

    I second everything that Snickermom said. I loved meeting all of you, and I'm looking forward to seeing you all again in February.

    Thank you again, SpecialK!! Heart

    Hi, this is the link for the exercise thread if you need motivation mixing with a great group of ladies. Head on over and introduce yourselves. Exercise is the primary way to stave off recurrence so start small and work your way up.

    Good morning, I just found this thread...do you happen to know of any groups in the SW? It looks like y’all are pretty active though and I do manage to get up to the Tampa area every couple of months..

    CC2016 Sorry, I don't know of any groups relatively locally other than the Orlando ladies. There are several who travel to our Tampa group from Bradenton/Sarasota, and one from Punta Gorda. We should be having a get together within the next month or two, schedules permitting, so we would love to have you with us! Add this thread to your favorites - the meeting info will be in the header and I usually suggest a few dates so we can get consensus on when most of us are available.

    Hey ladies! I just stumbled across this thread. I'm also from Tampa and would love to meet up some time! I bumped into TWillis in another thread but I had no idea there are so many of us from this area. 🙂

    Flynn - we would love to see you! I think our next get together will hopefully take place next month.

    Ladies - what do you all think about Feb. 17? Give me your availability for around that time and we will find a good date/place for a lunch.
