Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - A Face to the Name

I'm not about to post a topless picture but I'll do a clothed one. I normally won't post pictures of myself, too many stalker out there for a handsom guy like me to worry about...:p Anyway you may be able to tell by pic but I'm 6'1" 223lbs, the other riders in the club call me the beast or the diesel. Imagine the bashing if I posted this in the roadie forum. Picture taken after a recovery spin on the trainer after work today. Feel free to post your all ages pictures:)

When we do forum rides, several of the riders will jump on my wheel and call it "The B Train"!:D..I've done rides with a group of maybe 15 riders and pulled the entire 72 miles.:Thumb:

But if I can get down 15 more pounds, Ill be at this weight. When I ride at this weight, ride partners cal me "The Punisher"!:D

6'1 220-225 lbs in the picture (immediately after a 62 mile ride in Arizona) Right now I'm at 238 and dropping!;)

Thank you. That photo means a lot to me. Leaving aside the fact that this was a second attempt to complete the trip, and I almost didn't finish this time thanks to a defective rear wheel, I can't help but reflect that I couldn't walk a city block three years before.

My hiking buddy Dan once asked me what the greatest moment of my life was. There were two; the first was when I completed a century in September 2007. You've seen the second.

Hope you can lose the trainer soon. That bike needs to be seen outside!

Hey Pam, whatcha riding there? Nice pics btw, I gotta get the kids to the coast someday!

The MTB is a Santa Cruz Superlight. I am riding through Limestone Canyon. The Road bike is a Lemond Zurich (all steel baby) and I'm riding through Red Rock Canyon, Utah. The coastal photo is between Big Sur and Santa Maria in the "Elfin Forest". Beautiful area - great place to ride!

here's to keepin' my shirt on.

Thanks Historian. There is a lot of hours in those quads, my wife says they're freakish saying should you have cleavage on your quads? To be totally honest they are almost uncomfortable when lying down as they create a gap and my knee hardly hits mattress when lying on belly. If only the rest of me was like those quads. Take note that I just finished a workout on the bike so they were kinda pumped.

This is me at the start of my first (and only) metric last year.

....and me with, what my wife calls, my mountain man look (the beard) while riding my MTB last weekend with my daughter.

First ride I did this year on Jan. 5, about 24 degrees with wind between 9 and 12 mph. and gust's over 20 mph. Got to love riding outside in New England, can't wait for winter to end. Oh by the way it's snowing right now, projected 8".

Curious what kind of ridged frame mtn bike that is? Made me think of my rockhopper.

I've been having people take pictures of me cycling of late whenever I stop and chat with somebody. Here's yesterday's:

Curious what kind of ridged frame mtn bike that is? Made me think of my rockhopper.

It is a mid-90's Giant Sodona, before they turned that model into a comfort bike. It only had a little over 100 miles on it last year when I got back into riding. I can't remember how many road mile that I put on, but I switched to the road bike seen in the picture above. The only time I ride it now is when I ride with my daughter or other slower riders so that I don't leave them behind.

here i am the last week of october 2008 6' 340lbs

It took a bit but this is the least goofy pic I could find of me. My wife and I on the first Saturday Social ride of the year at the Argyle Coffee shop stop. Unseasonably warm for sure. Matching bikes although mine is the clyde model and hers is they clyde will never be able to ride model due to weight restrictions.
