Mine would have to be the NYC Century. This wasn't a fast ride for me, mostly because my riding partner was not up for going fast. It was however, the start of my weight loss. There was a friendly contest that was started in my office that I heard about, so I joined in on it. It was starting the week before, and when I told the others that I'm doing the century and it was probably good for 5 pounds right off the top they all rolled their eyes. It ended up being 4 pounds of mostly just water weight. But it was the start and I've lost 25 pounds total so far. I'm looking to get back to around 160 from the 204 I was at. I was always just a skinny guy riding a bike, until I became a fat guy riding a bike. I attribute 100% of my weight loss to the riding, since I still eat mostly anything, and drink beer. I gave up chocolate, cake and ice cream and other sweets, and that wasn't hard to do.
Every outdoor ride since has been my favorite ride so far.
