Hello,
My name is Doug and I live in the mid-west (Crawfordsville) parts of Indiana. 42 yrs. old 6'3" and 225lbs. Just recently stopping smoking (in Sept. of '05) and had a spinal surgery, I packed on a few pounds and am ready to rid myself of them and to start living a more healthy life style.
I hate running and too self conscience to go swimming, I always enjoyed riding bikes way back when. So biking is where I want to go.

Doug

Hi Doug! You just described me pretty well LOL 'cept I quit smoking 6 or 7 years ago, have bad joints and live in Laf., 1/2 hr N. of you. I lost 10 lbs with dieting, but seemed to plateau. I was walking, but now hope to burn more calories biking.
