Hmmm.......how to begin. I am in the Clyde/Athenas not because I am heavy but because of the heart and kindness here. I am slender and moderately fit at 59 yoa. What is so captivating about this group is the sense of understanding and support. You see, I think it is more than just the difficulties of weight that many deal with. I just want to say that I am very proud of all of you out there that refuse to be victims and got and live life on your own terms. It is very motivating for me to hear all the success stories. Thank you all for being part of this great culture of cycling. To all of you, a great New Year and hope to any of you on the road enjoying the gift of life. God Bless you all and thank you.
