For anyone interested I have a 2007 Fuji Newest 2.0. Though this is an entry level bike it is the best bike I have ever owned. It has been a good bike and I hope to put many more miles on it.
Yesterday afternoon I added 17 miles averaging 15.8 miles an hour. This morning I rode 20 miles before work. It was a slower pace but I was riding. For the month I am at 259.4 miles. Weather permitting I will get my 300 miles. I have an addiction and it is my bike.
For the month of July I had 88 miles and for August I am trying to get in 300. On Wednesday I rode 18 miles before work and today I totaled 20 miles in 1 hour 20 minutes. The distances are getting easier and so is the healthy eating. The payoff has been more energy, I feel stronger and in the past 8-10 weeks I have dropped from 250 pounds to 224 pounds off my 5' 11" frame.
Jeramiah brought his friend Jesse along for an afternoon ride. Rode 19 more miles for a total of 32 miles for today. I am pleased with the past month and a half. I have lost 20 lbs and have ridden 200 miles. Time to rest for a couple of days.
I just got back into biking at the start of July. I forgot how much I enjoyed riding as a kid. This past weekend I rode with CCR (Clark County Riders) out of Springfield, OH. Great group to ride with. It was my first ride with a group and I enjoyed it. Will be back for more!
