I've been reading the forums for some time now and appreciate all the knowledge and support from other members regarding newbies.
I'm on the heavier side 5'9" and 287 # when I took my first ride on 6/1/10 with a motobecane 29er SS that I picked up off CL. I was only able to do 1.5 miles. I changed my diet and decided to make a change in my lifestyle. I looked and a lot of different options and decided to purchase a Scott Speedster S50 and really enjoy it so far.
I'm currently at 261 # (My goal for the end of July is 260 or below which I'll easily acheive) and looking forward to grow my knowledge in the sport and continue to keep shedding #'s. I acheived one of my gaols last night which was to complete 10 miles, which I did at an average speed of 16mph.
I think the most exciting thing for me is freinds that now want to get into the sport and start riding with me.
Thanks!!!
