I am an HVAC (heating and cooling) instructor. I now commute 10 miles each way four days a week. I have ridden to work off and on for the last 2.5 years, but this fall started commuting all the time. I keep adding clothing and accessories (nokian studded tires) as needed. Dressing for single digit temps is tricky!

I am 5' 11" and started at 236 lbs this fall (I put some on last summer...). I am now at 224, and hope to be at 190-195 by next spring. That is about my ideal weight. I'm not really dieting, just being careful about what I eat. I do let go a little once in awhile (holidays).

I spend alot of time in the commuting section, but pop in here too.

I hope to get back into racing next summer. Have not raced since 1988 .
