So I bought my first bike sense childhood back in January, a 2014 Raleigh Talus 29 (It is bright green for those that care). I bought the bike with the goal to ride to work and back, and ride some light trails on the weekends (I have not reached the trails part of my goals yet). I figure that riding to work will allow me to lose some weight (of which I have gained plenty of) and save some money on gas.
My ride to work is five to six miles, depending on the route I take. Back in January I found that even just a one mile ride was extremely difficult but pushed through it and continued to add more distance each week until in February I tried a dry run on a Sunday and made the trip to work (I felt as if I was going to die but I made it). For the past few weeks I have been riding my bike to and from work at least three time a week and it is getting easier.
I just wanted to let you know I am new, but making progress. This is a fun sport that also has practical applications. I have some more detailed information about my struggle with starting out on my site http://beefcakefitness.com where I have been blogging about each week.
