Day of Milestones
After a little over two months of riding I hit two milestones on the same day. I do not post much (guess I am more of a lurker with a username 
). As of today I have lost 20 pounds and I was able to keep an 18 mph pace for an hour long ride. I am down to 235 with the end goal being somewhere around 200, maybe below. I just wanted to post to say thanks for all of the information and motivation I gain from this section of the forums. It truly helps get my rear on the bike every day. Thanks again and keep pedaling.

Was your whole hour-long ride all downhill?? B/c that's the only way I could manage that kind of pace! Good going, I'm impressed.

I felt that way last year. I felt that way as early as June this year, too. But last week I hit 16.8mph average for 1 hour and 4 minutes on a loop. I was so close to 17mph I could taste it... and I could smell 18mph a short ways off. I'm not sure I can hit it this year. But definitely next year.

It was mostly flat. I think that I got lucky with conditions and everything just"clicked" that day.
