I am still carrying 75 lbs excess weight but I got my road bike and the difference in what I can do on it compared to the FX is rather amazing.
I've got a deal worked out w/ my wife. When I lose 50 lbs I get a new bike. Well, another bike. I'll likely go for a C&V road bike. Something from the 80's & made of steel.
Heck, I might even get a touring rig. I dunno.
OK - time for bed. 5:00 a.m. comes awfully early.
Night.
