Ahhhh...The Feel of Success!!
Some sore muscles and rejuvenation! I got out to the Edgar Felix Memorial Path in Wall, NJ today with my sister. Our plan was to ride the entire path, even if we had to stop for a break here and there. Started out slow and took a while to get into the groove, but we managed to bike the entire 10+ miles today. Our best was 4+ miles in around 23 minutes...I know beans for some, but this was a great accomplishment for me. I haven't been able to bike 15 minutes or more than 3 miles this year, so I passed that hurdle and onto the next. I can see my big goal up ahead and need to conquer the little goals to get there.
Feels good to be biking and today was a great day! I really enjoy this sport.

That's great. Keep riding and you will be amazed at the quick progress you'll make. At 315 pounds, I was routinely doing 35 mile hilly rides last year, and I started about where you are now.

I know people who can't (so they claim) bike ten miles. And I know a lot of people who would just give up after a few minutes of starting out slow. Before long you'll be starting a thread about your first century...
