Hi Everyone...
I stumbled into this thread and am glad I did!
I am working on losing weight... 35 lbs gone since October. And am getting back into cycling.
I rode a mountain bike for a couple years, a long time ago when I lived in CO. Last year bought my first road bike.
This year I joined Team In Training and am training with them for a century in October to raise money for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I am scared to death and am hoping I'm not in way over my head!!! I still have 50 lbs to lose and have a hard time riding up hills. Any tips from the experts on that? LOL! Probably just keep trying and pushing I would think.
I wish I had someone in the area to ride with as I find cycling with someone more enjoyable. Even if we're not talking while riding. But I don't know anyone at my level so I guess I'm on my own.
Thanks, everyone for sharing you're inspiring stories. I'm happy to join you as we become healthier!
Take care,
Gypsy
