I hope you don't mind this late posting. I'm 5'5" and 187 (I've lost 30 lbs in the last 6 months that I've been riding) so I'm right in there too. I too have joined a club with many seniors and all sizes. There are some younger folks as well and they have all types of rides. My husband and I joined together and we have a wonderful time. I love my bike and I love doing something healthy. I'm not dieting, but eating healthy and riding as often as I can. My body will decide what my final weight will be.

I'm so glad that you found a good club. Good luck and good riding.
