I am a big guy at 324 pounds and looking to use road riding to help lose weight, get fit, and have fun.
Yesterday I felt embarrased becasue I did a class D ride and could only do 10 miles and they had to wait up a lot for me.
I have a ride I signed up for in PA on Saturday.... 25 miles with 7 stops at farms for a 20 minute break and to see and learn about the farm. I am wondering if I should do this ride. Humid and hot are in the forcast.
I always wanted to ask if you all felt the same way when you started your journey on your bike?
Sure. Do it. Expect to feel beat afterward.
Or, since you were coming to PA anyway, if you want to ride on a nice flat trail instead, contact me and I'll ride with you. I'll do my best to make sure the ride is a fun one.
