introduction!
hello all,
I'm new to this forum and thought i'd say hello. I've been riding off and on for a couple of years, but recently (as of this spring) started riding more regularly. I'm 6'1'' and 260 lbs, but in reasonably good health (resting hr of 50, no bone/joint issues, etc). I've gone from struggling with my 12 mile commute to work to being able to nail 30 mile rides without any problems. I haven't lost any weight though, which is frustrating. I'm riding on a bike that i bought when i didn't know much about fitting or sizing a bike properly, it's a compact roadie, all cromo but obviously not built for someone like me. one thing that blows me away is that i'm running the stock 24/20 spoke wheels and i haven't broken any spokes and the rear is only now started to show a little need of a truing. anywhos, just wanted to say hey!
