Join a bike club

I finally started riding back up the 56 bike path instead of going only one way. My rides are now routinely about 30 miles or so. I even joined a road bike club and started riding hard and some weeks I ride almost on daily.

I had the great luck of joining up with a local bike club, mostly Filipinos who are equally obsessed with riding as I am. If you ever want to ride with a group of guys that welcome anyone, even me, ride with the local Filipinos in your area. You’ll never meet a better bunch of encouraging guys to ride with. They seem to enjoy my improvements as much as I do.

I've lost about 20 pounds so far; I now weigh 250 pounds and am feeling pretty good. I'm riding about three to five times a week. I'm climbing hills. I've turned into a cycling maniac. I just can't get enough of it.
