Yeah for you!! I was in your exact position at the beginning of last summer, 5'4" and about 220. I bought a jamis ventura race, it was the beginning of an addiction. I started out riding 5 miles or so. Today, I weigh 80lbs less and I completed my longest ride to date this past weekend...50miles in howling 40+mph wind. I am so stoked. Hubs and I are training for hotter'n hell this August.
Let us know how your cycling journey goes!
