I think I'll stick to the dry area of WA. Most people don't know it exists. LOL

Now for On-Topic - I'm not middle aged but was very active in HS and college. Then I got married, had kids, and quit taking care of myself. In the past 10 years I put on nearly 50lbs and my hormonal mood swings have taken a turn towards PMDD. This spring I started biking on my garage sale mountain bike and joined a local bike club. I've now graduated to a road bike so I don't get left behind by the club any more and I am hooked! I've lost 20lbs and gained some nice muscle tone and endurance. I'm starting to feel fit and it's done wonders for my mood!

Keep us updated on your progress!!
