This new direction all started because my wife's employer's insurance forced me to lose weight or give up 3 grand a year.
6 months later I have lost about 28 lbs and I feel great. Money though is not enough motivation, so I decided to enter a charity race called "Pedal to the point". Setting goals is something I need to do to push myself.
It is a 2 day, 150 mile trip in August of Next year. I think I have time to prepare, But I need to know how.
My cycling experience is limited at best. I have an ok bike that I've been trying to get some miles on, a exercise bike in the house and a gym membership.
About me -
5' 6.5" 170lbs Id still like to lose a few or at least burn off some belly fat, lol. Way better that a fem months ago at 200!
About my bike - Giant OCR3, Small, Shimano Sora - unsure of model year
My Questions are for training only, not equipment. Get to that later.
Where should I start?
