I am just bummed that I have gained 13 lbs back. There will be some long road rides this summer which should help.Blackdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049275343213520407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313689717954647815.post-85589074865419896202009-06-04T13:47:32.809-07:002009-06-04T13:47:32.809-07:00You did awesome and I was really psyched to see yo...You did awesome and I was really psyched to see you there!! Racing a mtn bike is not easy for anyone, especially with the extra weight. You are a motivation to everyone!!

At one point in the not-so-distant past I was close to 50 pounds heavier than I am now. I convinced my wife to let me buy a road bike and the weight came off. <br /><br />I started mountain biking a few years later but wonder if the steady, more consistent effort associated with riding a road bike might help more than the on or off (climb or descend) nature of mountain biking. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's easier (for me at least) to ride a road bike at a low to medium intensity for a couple of hours than it is to do the same on a mountain bike. And isn't it those lower intensities that result in the most fat being burned? Food for thought (pun definitely intended)!<br /><br />If you want to go faster next week try the single speed. It seemed to help me last night. Though it will be interesting to see if the new course direction changes that at all.UtRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196214593560383672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5313689717954647815.post-85662858874624767902009-06-04T12:04:19.167-07:002009-06-04T12:04:19.167-07:00I meant to tell you at the race that you look like...I meant to tell you at the race that you look like you had lost a bunch of weight. Great job! Although I have the luck of genetics on my side in the weight category , I did pack on about 25 pounds in college. I couldn't believe how hard it was to get it off and back to a fitness level I was happy with.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00580190290187210117noreply@blogger.com
