Hi all!
New to the forum and I was looking for some help. I road some this past summer and I was doing 10 miles in 45 - 50 mins on a Giant Boulder SE mountain bike. I have aquired a Schwinn Traveler from the late 70's early 80's era and I have a CycleOps Magneto trainer. I have been biking with the trainer on the Schwinn for about three weeks now, trying to bike about 3 or 4 times a week for at least a half-an-hour.
Are there other things that I should be doing along with this. Sometime in mid-August there is a Century Kilometer Ride in my town. What are some tips that you can give for me to be ready for the ride. I am a bit over weight (6 foot tall, 230 lbs) and I want to also loose the weight while training. I live in Southern Wisconsin, so outdoors is out for about 3 to 4 months yet.
Thanks, and sorry if I rambled on about nothing.
Andy
