Well,
I started cycling about a year ago in April (13 month but who's counting). I weighted 230 when I started! I am now down to 195 and on the road to 180ish. When I started it took over 50 minutes to get work and I average 11 mph now this morning I took a longer route (1 miles ish) and it took 35 minutes averaging 14.9 mph. I am riding in about 3 times a week hoping to get to 5 once the weather lets me. I need to get longer bike rides in on the weekend. I am going for a nice slow and long ride Saturday with a buddy of mine. That should make it better with 2 of us. I also started going to 24 Hour Fitness and meeting with a personal trainer twice a week last year. Versell really kick me back into shape. I try and see him once a week now.
Fitness is fun,
Jon
