I rode the 204 mile STP in July so Im not too worried about getting in miles as I have stuck to my regular training since then - its hills I want to hit. Also, seeing as I was 315lbs+ for the last 15 yrs (started biking in March), I will be thrilled to leave my present weight of 280's and enter the 260's

Im very easily pleased!
