I am a newbie here, and love the posts! I am 5'7''. creeping up on 50, and trying to stay under 250. I started riding again recently and am up to 23 miles this week. I figure if someone doesn't like the view, go around me! Keep up the great work!

Well I am sure trying!
It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

Sounds like you're doing the right thing to keep it down, and take it further down! Way to go!

I'm new to the forum and kind of new to cycling. I'm 27 and desperately trying to stay in shape and shed some pounds. I just got a Giant OCR3 and am loving it. My husband and I are riding in the Paws and Puddles ride in Galveston, TX tomorrow. Any newbie tips?

Hi, Meaux--Re: Newbie tips--just read these forums--they're loaded with tips. Also, check out the articles on the TE site--lots of info there. Hope you're having fun on your ride!

I LOVE my Giant. It's a really great bike. Our first "big ride" today went well. I'm feeling inspired. Thanks for the help. It's great to find a forum with people like me.

Meaux, I have an OCR3, too. We should figure out something really cool for OCR to stand for! Have fun with your new friend, and ride safe.
