Hello from Burlington VT!
i'm new to the forum as well as cycling.
i go to the university of vermont.
i've been trying to get into shape recently. at 6'5" and 215lbs with flat feet, there aren't a lot of options for exercising.
i've been swimming for a while and enjoy it but it seems to get tedious.. you stare at the blue line of tiles on the floor that dives deeper the further you get to the end of the pool... then watching it ascend back up as you proceed back to the shallow end. it gets very boring.
so i went to the gym and hopped on a stationary. i started pounding out 20 miles in an hour, six days a week. i fell in love. but then the options of watching dr OZ, some basketball team i've never heard of, or jersey shore started to bore me more than gazing at the bottom of a pool. it was time to bring it outside.
i splurged and bought a 900 dollar trek 1.1 and couldn't be happier. its my first road bike and i'm a college student so give me a break on spending less than i should. but so far, i love it. i crank 15 miles a day.. the hilly roads of vermont are a lot different than the stationary in the gym. but i'm getting used to it. i love the scenery and the rush.
i love my new hobby.
