HISTORY:
Did triathalons during my high school years. Lived and trained at 300 feet above sea level. Stopped riding about 15 years ago. got waaaaaaay out of shape
CURRENT EVENTS:
Decided it was time to get back into riding. I now live at 4500 feet above sea level. Bought a good (road) bike. I can ride maybe 12-15 miles before I am wasted. The ride that I do has light hills and I average about 18 mph. Pretty sick and embarrassing. My legs feel fairly good but I have no lung capacity which makes my rides short and discouraging. All junk food and fast food has be eradicated from my diet.
I know that I need to ride ride ride and then ride some more to build my endurance up. the question is what is the best way to start? Give me some training tips people!!!
THE FUTURE:
I want to be able to ride much longer, duh. No racing in the forseable future. Maybe club rides.
