In answer to your question, of course you are not too fat to ride! Your spunk shows that to be true that you ARE JUST RIGHT to ride and as you ride you'll get righter and righter.

I dropped 25 pounds in about six weeks when I started riding this past summer. And believe me, I didn't go many miles (I couldn't) and I didn't do hills (I couldn't). I just pedaled for the sheer joy of it at the speed that felt good and when you become happier and more content and stop worrying about things, the weight falls off. Of course it didn't hurt that the temperatures were very high and I sweat buckets and buckets from unfamiliar exertion.

So hang in there and love that belly. It's part of you so it's about loving YOU. I loved my belly but I'm glad to see that it went somewhere else and doesn't live here any longer. Hey, wait a minute.....did my belly move into your house?
