1st ride of the year

Hello everyone, this is my first post although I've been a member since last fall after I bought my Felt F75. I turned 50 this year and decided I needed to try to get back into decent shape before it's too late. I'm 6 foot tall and weigh around 218 pounds. I'd like to get down to about 180 before the end of the summer.
I live up in Quebec City and we've had some beautiful weather the last few days. I was able to get out last evening for a short 8 mile ride but it sure felt good after being stuck indoors on the trainer all winter.

Thanks Craig. I see you're from Indy. I'm originally from Beech Grove on the south side. Still love the town and come back to visit every summer for a few weeks.

Thanks for the welcome guys. 10 wheels - fun to see your video of Beech Grove. I lived there until I was 24 years old. Still go back in the summers when I'm in Indy. Nice town to grow up in but it sure has changed over the years.
