[QUOTE=seventy_eight;448182]Just want to introduce myself (not sure if this is the correct place or not). I have been reading here for the past couple of months and I love it here!
I have been having great fun following all the threads, but felt a little nervous about diving in...I have an old LLB Evolution cross-trainer that I put lots of upgrades on and a 1 year old Specialized Dolce Elite. I have been riding for a long time but only in the last 4 or 5 years gotten more serious about "training" for event rides such as the Trek Across Maine and other fun group rides.
I have a good many pounds to lose, too. I've been fighting my weight for years and riding has been the best thing for my health that I've ever done!
I originally discovered this forum when desperately seeking shorts and jerseys that would actually fit "a woman of substance."
So anyway, glad to read a post from another newbie!

Welcome to you two new TE members!!!
I loved reading your stories of beginning/rediscovering biking- three years ago I got on a bike for the first time in about 38 years.
Keep it fun and enjoy your new biking lifestyle...don't forget to relax and smell the flowers as you ride, and don't let anyone push you around or discourage you.
