Hi, I'm Kiwi (no I'm not from New Zealand)

Just took up riding a bike a couple weeks ago, been lurking in the forums since then, figured I'd join.
I am attempting to commute to and from work, currently being dropped off in the morning and riding home until I am used to it. This is a way for me to save money on gas but most of all to be healthy. I was 270 a couple weeks ago, and I've already lost over 5 lbs. My goal is to be under 230 at some point, maybe less.

Hope to get to know ya all!

Well done Kiwi! Many people in our area (i'm from sac too) don't realize that Sac / norcal has some of the best cycling in the world. If you work downtown it's very safe too, with plenty of bike lanes.

Once you get fit, join the hammering wheelmen. You will go on some great tours around the foothills and get into climbing.

Welcome to our club bro.

Thanks!
I think I saw a few wheelmen jerseys at Bike Fest on Thurs.
Something for me to shoot for!
