Just thought I'd say hello with being a newbie.
My name is Andy and I'm 37 years old and currently 118kg (5'11") although in 2009 I was 140+kg.
I used to cycle a lot then had an accident and when a bit strange and piled the weight on but then became un-strange and got a wii fit as a start then started cycling and then joined the gym.
Next June I am due to cycle Lands End to John O'Groats so am looking to get down to around 80kg to help withthe agony I currently suffer from on the hills.

Hi Andy
Welcome to MFP and good luck with your journey. LeJog? Cool! I'm with you on hills = agony but find it easier to cycle up hills than walk up with a laden bike (cycle camping).
I did the Devon C2C last summer and had a great time. LeJog is my ultimate ambition but thinking of doing the Hadrian's Wall route (C2C lite) next year.

Cycle camping is far move impressive than fully supported like we'll be doing.
I find if I get of and walk I feel as though my lungs are going to explode more than they do on the bike.0
