8-15 31.5 miles
8-16 an #epic 84.5 miles. 5500 feet climbing, awesome company and awesome peach pie ala mode. A number of PR's. Completed the Strava Grand Fondo for a fourth month in a row.

3 months ago my Dr. took me off Metformin and my statin. This week had blood work done and my A1c is down .1 to 5.7, not sure about my lipids but my guess is going to be good news there as well. Weight is down, not just this year but 80 pounds plus since I started beign serious about improving my health three years ago. I am on top of the world. Thanks in part to the so many on this forum that have inspired me. If my story inspires one person to ride more and gain fitness it has been worth telling.

I am so happy for others in this thread who also are having amazing success! Keep it up y'all!
