hey there, good job! i bought my road bike on monday and took it for just under 21 miles and it took 1 hour 20 mins according to the gps. i was wondering if that was good time and it sounds like it especially for our first ride.

i love the advice here since this whole "eat before you're hungry" is new to me since i've fought to maintain my weight (or lose) most of my life. i need to get over that mindset or i'm going to be up a hill without a pedal
