Good work Mike keep it up you will appreciate the aerobic fitness and loss of weight.

I stupidly turned to Super-rules footy (fat bastards footy) to help my brother and the local club. No issues with puff but my 50- something old Achilles went snap two games in. That was almost two years ago now.

I found road bikes about a year ago to help with the calf strengthening exercise and wished I'd discovered this sooner. Current normal morning regular ride before work is some 42km in 90 minutes.

However this has also led to that interesting state of becoming a Mamil - "middle aged male in lycra", and on a somewhat local hill that very interesting experience of riding downhill as fast as the cars in a posted 60kph speed limit zone.

However now that its getting chilly again in the mornings I look forward to the return of spring already for less invigorating rides!!

Ignoring the telly tuby this bike belonged to a young bloke that had just gone A grade.



It is a four year old second hand carbon bike I got for $900 and I've done over a 1000km in the year I've owned it now.

Cheers
