15 pounds and you can tell a difference? I lost about 70 in the last 18 months and can certainly tell a difference. I'm figuring half the perfromance boost is strength I've gained, and half is from being lighter. I guess another 50 and I should fly up those hills.
I agree, that I am enjoying the challenge of the hills now. I went out last night intending to do 25-30 miles. Once I got that close to what we know as "Nice Hill", I couldn't turn around without attacking it, so I went a bit further.
