I started riding again in early 2020 after losing 20 lbs. I ended up the year by riding just over 3000 miles and losing about 75 lbs. I went from 270 to 195. I recently turned 65 this past August and am now down to 180 lbs. I'm 5'-11" tall. I've ridden over 4,700 miles this year and plan to get to 5,200 if the weather cooperates. I celebrated my weight loss by buying myself a new road bike about a month ago. I don't have enough posts to post photos yet, but the new bike is a carbon frame 2022 Trek Emonda SL 5 Disc. I'm planning to add carbon wheels in the spring when I return from Florida. They won't be in stock until February.

I'm taking my old road bike, a 2002 Klein Quantum, with me to Florida this winter, where I hope to sell the Trek FX 7.5 hybrid I have down there.
