I gained about ten pounds over the winter. (Half of that was 14 days in Spain in November when I got out of control eating Catalan food including cheese and lots of bread as well as drinking too much local red wine) I tried to ride as much as possible this past winter. (This is me on Christmas day when we did 28 miles)
But I'm back at it again, have ridden about 400 miles this year. Did a 30 mile ride on Saturday with the local club. I'm riding at about 14~15mph on a typical day, 9~10mph into the prairie wind and 19~20mph in calm air.
Wind and hills are my downfalls.
