The wife decided to get a bike recently. Got a Giant Sedona DX.
I had not done much with my 10 or 15 year old fully rigid in years, but this lead me to get a Giant Rincon. We will do mostly flat trails together, but I will do some hills when I ride alone.
I have been reading what my news server has of this group and am up to about a year ago, but just had to ask this one question since I know that I need to get a bit more exorcise to balance out my high calorie (and high beer) diet.
At 5'10" and 190lb, would I qualify as a Clydesdale?

Maybe if you shrink a few inches. You've got potential, but I'd throw you back. /s 6'2, 215lbs and rising...

Nah, just a tad thick. Ride a bunch, and you'll lose 10+ pounds pretty fast.

It always depends on your BF %age. I'm 5'10" and 195, but I don't think I qualify as a Clydesdale. Just a bike rider who has a harder time hauling that extra muscle mass up a mountain.

Dude, you're in trouble. That's a dangerous place to be, health wise. I know, I was very close to that. You need to curb your addiction to food and get on the bike before serious complications set in like Diabetes or heart trouble. You are nearing the obese range for your height.

Yup, about as I expected. Thanks to all for the replies. Will head back to the top of my list of un-read posts. If the biking bug does get me then I am sure I will have a few more questions, but I am mostly the lurker type.

Chairlift-only territory?
I thought Slack sold the beast and got himself a pedaling machine. The question is then, why isn't he riding it?

Oh I dunno. When I was road racing I was 5'8" 140-145 lbs and *knew* I should be 10 lbs or so lighter to climb with the big boys. :-)
I went from 6'2" and 160 lbs when I could climb with the big boys to 6'2" and 235 lbs when I was a beer drinking night owl to my current 6'1" and 220 lbs struggling to get down to 195 and gain that inch of height back.

Yeah, I know. I'm monitoring both and just tested. And my blood pressure is good... I have a home tester because my lame doctor thought I had HBP.
