new uber clyde
new uberclyde, 6'1 370, just got a new bike 2 weeks ago, only ridden 4 times because I go to night school
But hopefully next week I can ride atleast 4 times a week. My goal is to ride in the MS 150 in 2014. If there is anyone in the galveston texas area drop me a line

starting next week I should be able to ride any night, so far my longest has been only 5.5 miles, but for being 370 and not being on a bike in over 20 years. Slowly progress but steady progress

That's doing VERY well for such circumstances. In a year, 5 miles will be a warmup for you. Welcome aboard. See you in the C&A forum!

Takes sometime for your body to adapted to your bike.
Have fun and asked questions when you have problems.
