Getting fit. As my ID and title suggest, I started riding again to lose weight and have done well, losing better than 50 lbs. I'd like to lose another 50, but until the weather warms up enough to start spending real quality time on the bike, I'm doing well to hold the line.

Whenever time, weather, and energy level permit. 100 mi. weeks are common for me, and I get in the occasional 200 mi. week.

Maybe you regularly do Century rides- perhaps you do a few mountain climbs a year or perhaps you are in training for your first 25 mile organised ride
Have done several metric centuries. Plan on my first imperial centuries this year. Hope to get under 5.5 hrs by season's end.

To lose weight- To get over an illness- You have ro ride as a commuter-
As stated above, I started to lose weight, but this year, I plan to add a good bit of commuting/utility cycling to the mix. So far, I have more miles on the old beater than the road bike.
