Count me in, at 42. I'm a 'returning' rider after lazing out for a few years and rapidly gaining more weight like there's no tomorrow (my gawd... is this what turning 40 is about???) --to total 40 pounds now that I have to shed. I'm riding to lose it, without dieting, and I'm determined to make a comeback, and with a vengience! I have a dream to bike commute from my mountain home, and it's tough to get use to it, but I'm getting psyched up. It's a 10 mile ride and 2100 foot climb from town--yikes, but I did it once before, so I know the ropes... it's just so dang hard to commit. That's the reason I showed up here.
