I've got my helmet, padded shorts, head & tail light...working on getting my fit just right...maybe another seat is on the horizon. I've been riding on the trainer for the past few weeks. BTW I ride a Trek Navigator.

Now that the weather is cooperating, I'm ready to hit...er...ride the road. Now what? Any ideas on how I need to start..or some sort of training regiment to follow?

I want to ride for fun, to get fit and maybe lose some weight in the process.
I have access to pasture, hilly, winding country roads and a straight, wide shouldered highway with some long inclines.

Oh yeah, I have a heart monitor too.
