Hi all,
My name is Jeremy, and I am a clydesdale, I think.
6'3" 217.
I have been into cycling my entire life, but did not get into it in any serious way until about a year and a half ago. I started training for a tour across Spain (which didn't happen) and found a group of serious riders out of my LBS to ride with. I kept up with them easily on my rusty 70's Suntour, and they eventually convinced my to buy a newer bike. With the new bike, I was always in the front 3, which really got me addicted to cycling. Funny what positive re-enforcement does!
Right now I am training for my 1st century, in about a week and a half. I have never done more than 50 miles, but, quite a few times I have ridden 50 after three or four weeks out of the saddle, so I am not too scared, plus it is going to be in the hills that got me into cycling in the first place!
