i wanna take friendly exception to chris-the-cop. when you're young it may be calories in-calories burned. wait'll you go through That Part Of Your Life. i finally started losing those last pounds thru Schwarzbein Principle, but you have to be so blanketyblank vigilant! Every Single Day. uggh.

however, who cares??!! ride because you love to ride!!

and know that the people who make any comments whatsoever about being heavy and riding could absolutely not do what you are doing.

and you have friends here who do know and share the passion.
