Over the spring and summer, I lost 20 pounds, felt better, slept better, etc. as I was riding almost everyday, much of it on my Trek road bike. Like a dumbbell, I sold it in the early fall to raise some funds for something else and my riding has curtailed significantly. I'm not sleeping as well, eating more, and have gained most of the weight back. The key for me to stay healthiest is to have a road bike. I ride more often, earlier, and further. I love going fast as much now as I did when I was 12 years old (and that was a very long time ago), so Merry Christmas to me. I'm picking this up Saturday:


I've also laid in some cold weather riding gear and I"ll be riding most of the time that the streets are not slick. Gotta get the tonnage off and that's the best way for me. I love to eat the wrong stuff, but if I'm exercising, I consciously eat better, too. So, here we go again. Having backslid and seen the results, I believe I'm motivated to keep it going. I'm 64 years old by the way, so a "Senior Clyde."
