    Been off the bike over a year and going to get started into my routine again. I have huge weight swings when I ride vs. not ride and I'm currently sitting at the top end of that swing unfortunately. (198lbs summer2015 / 267lbs today).

    Cheers to the tears to come!

    Welcome back, and enjoy the ride!
    Changes don't take long when you put in the rides, and seeing the change is excellent motivation.
    It's so much nicer to buy new clothes because you're getting in better shape.

    @GregMiester ,
    Guaranteed you will get all the support you need from this place. Make sure to get plenty of rides in with others you commit to. It's easier to be accountable to others than yourself. Welcome back GregMiester! Welcome back!
