I rode just under 500 miles last year on my good days and sat in the recliner on bad days. Even at my present weight I will always be a Clyde and on good days I can still make that bike go. I am looking forward to my first ride of the year which is 3/1/20 snow or not. Good news is I have found a good Doctor and he is treating me and says we can beat this. Everyone hold your head up high and ride.
Congrats on the weight loss .
I’ve been a Clyde most of my life and probably will always be 200+ . I’m down to 277 from close to the 300 mark . At my age it’s taken me longer to lose than it has ever before .
A good friend of mine caught Lyme disease and his doctor was successful with meds in getting him back to normal .
Good luck beating the Lyme disease .
