first 100 mile bike ride Jim

This year I plan on developing a winter fitness plan, and my normal bike riding century plan. Maybe jump rope. I will set a goal weight and never go above that weight. Thanks for sharing.

It has been a year since we hit our goal, 65 lbs of weight loss. Great year, I was able to ride two bike centuries (100 miles in a day) in Sept and Oct. During training I gain back 15 lbs of miuscle. When your riding 150 miles a week on a bike you get to eat more calories. Our first Maintainenance Thanksgiving, Christmas…

Two full centuries completed in less than 7 hours. Over 2000 mile of road biking. So great to be healthy. Cheers Jim

Just completed my first century 100 miles in 7.5 hours. Wow. So thankful to be heathy, one more century to go next week. So I will have two centuries completed for the bucket list. Hope it is not raining. One day at a time. Cheers Jim

2001 year to date biking. Yea still have a century to go. I just finished my first century last sunday. Cheers Jim

I am 57 just finished a 100 mile century bike ride in 7.5 hours. Two years ago 5 miles was hard. One day at a time. I bike 4 to 5 days a week usually 20 to 39 miles each ride at about 14 or 15 miles an hour. So great to be fit. Cheers Jim

Thanks yes you work at it one day at a time.:smile: :smile: Jim

9 months in mainetance what ever that is. gained some lost some learned it is a lfestyle change not a diet. I am into biking so it is easy to get extra calories. Bike an hour or two. Hard lesson to learn not to go back to see food comfort diet. Hang in there. Nice to be healthy and in size 34 jeans. jim

I lost about 4O or so pounds with litttle exercising, started out slow noticed I could eat more calories by working out. I am going to try to do a century bike ride this fall, I have done 63 miles in about 5 hours. Lots of core workout, I like how I feel now. If I want to eat just go on a 2 hour bike ride. Grin :happy:…

I got to ride 16 miles at 15.5 miles an hour average. 2 years ago at 265 walking hurt, 48 inch waist. Now at 205 lots of energy and 34 inch waist. Everyday is a new day, and the new start to the rest of your life, choose to live it on your terms. Cheers Jim
