Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I'm back - Hello all those who remember me!

After many years of threatening to start cycling again, I've finally done it.

I was a poster on here in the early days of this forum but lost the love for cycling and gained about 140lbs (Not a lie).

I recently sold my old bike and purchased a new one for motivational purposes and have actually dropped 20lbs in the last 2 months through a combination of cycling and running.

I rather drunkenly agreed to do an 8 man 24hr relay run back 6 months ago. I took part in that run last weekend and managed to run 15 miles in my 3 stints.

Feel free to follow me on Strava.

Good luck, old timer! Hope it sticks this time. If you would like additional motivation, see the sticky for 2013 Weight & Miles at the top of this forum.
