I never noticed this thread, and best I post!

Name is Mike from Chicago; bred, born and raised!

I am 6' 0" and current float between 240-245 and at 28 years old I have been this way since I was sent home from the Marines for asthma almost 10 years ago. I lost about 40 lbs since last year, not cycling but hoping to lose another 20-30 because of it.

I rode a lot as a kid (as I sure we all did) and now that I am older and have a finicky knee, I need something that I will enjoy, can be versatile and that I will continue to do and bikes fell back into my lap....errr....under it.

My long term goal going into 2013 is to complete a century ride in 5 hours while still qualifying as a Clyde.
