Hi Nancy.... well, I was 10 pounds heavier last week when I started and have already loss 10.2 pounds I know most is just water weight but still it's a loss and makes you smile.

I've been taking each bike out, alternating days to see which one I like the best. The Trek is great on the road and does rather well on the rail trails but I haven't taken it deep into the woods. I rode the rockhopper today and it's much nicer in the woods than the road. I actually ended up taking a little trail off the rail trail with the rockhopper and it handle so well. Made me giggle.

I love to ride in the woods too. I have so many great trails near me but I know I'm not ready to hit those just yet. I'll stick with the road and the rail trails and fire roads in the woods. I've always been a big nature person so being in the woods is wonderful.

I have so much to learn though and so happy to have found this site. I love how there are many newbies like myself plus many experienced knowledgeable people on this forum.
