but this forum would be super helpful if you could jot down:
Number of consecutive years you have been regularily cycling.
Your age
What keeps you on the bike
If you have lost weight, what was it and kept it off?

I'm 37...... 38 in March....

I really love cycling out on a ride on my own or couple of friends........ I love challenging myself....... for years I was very competitive eventing my horse all round the north island, when I put her in foal I need something to replace that and found that with cycling the only person responsible for how far & howwell I cycle is myself and I enjoy that responsiblity (it made a refreshing change from horses where it was easy to blame the judge, the horse, other people, the gear etc ).......... I'm not confident cycling in groups but that will come.... at the moment it's summer in NZ and I'm wanting to spend every minute outside on my bike I'm planning on doing some bike rides this year like the Lake Taupo challenge.............(does that give me the reason to buy that lovely Ruby Pro I keep drooling at in the LBS ???!!!! ) I also found that people who cycle have been far more socialable (in person & on the 'net)

I've lost 5kg since last May, but my fitness level have considerable improved .... I also run, weight train & swim when i can..........and also want to do more hiking........
