May I ask, do you have a routine with regard to the ride? I'm assuming you vary the route, but are you going hard/doing intermittent intervals, a climbing here and there, what does a typical week of rides yield in terms of routes/feet climbed/total miles?
Hope that raccoon got the worst of it.
I am nothing special with my rides as I average about 120 miles per week and pretty much the same routine everyday except from Dec to April when I live in Sri Lanka and there I ride all over the place in the terrible heat and humidity. Think most elevation i ever climbed was about 1850ft in Sri Lanka but here in ohio where I live it is pretty flat but terrible winds most of the time..I am in it for the exercise and pure enjoyment of riding a bike. I did not start riding a bike until I was 55 1/2 years old and pushing 265lbs on the old scale..Yup 265 and now 150 ..Shed 115lbs in 8 months and have never put one single pound back on in all those years.. It takes dedication and will power like you can not imagine when you were a fatty and then to keep it off like i did..MOST can NEVER and I mean NEVER do it...Happy camper here
