You were wise to plan a way to ride longer distances using a 5 mile loop. I was told time in the saddle is the most important thing--and cadence. And you're keeping them both up. I'm proud of you!
Thanks!
I look upon it as "almost a Double Decade". Right now I'm shooting for a shorter ride than a century.
As I mentioned, I'm trying to build endurance now. If some weight loss happens, it'll be good and certainly not unwelcome, but that's not my first priority. Right now, I'm more seriously out of condition in general than simply overweight in absolute terms (I'm 6'1", ~235 lbs, mostly the wrong places/forms).
