That's good advice and esp applies to climbing...Carrera said:Make sure you have your seat at the right height too. If your seat is too low down it will kill you.

Yes it definitely has a familiar ring. It's amazing what can be accomplished in a few short years.coolworx said:This so reminds me of a few years back when I got back on a bicycle...
3 miles on Florida flatland, would just about kill me.

I just bought my first road bike and have started riding a few weeks ago. I started off with a 15 minute ride (figured that the HR training might not be the best way to go until i figure out if i am still coordinated to ride a bike). Two days later I upped it to 30 minutes and I have been holding steady at 45minutes because its really pushing it.
Keeping up with riding is perhaps the most difficult aspect. When I find myself making excuses and coming up with other things to do, I know I just have to get on the bike right then and there and go.
Its been so ridiculous hot and humid in Philly (where I live) so I have opted to take an evening ride so I don't feel as out of shape.
I'm so glad I found this forum...I found comfort in your post
