First I'd like to say hello and thanks for all the good information I've been reading on this forum
Bought my first mtb last weekend; GF paragon. It was pretty cold the day I got it but managed to put 10 miles on it (mostly on pavement) before my face got too frozen. What a blast. Since then, the temps have been in the teens and haven't been able to get anymore use out of it and its driving me crazy. Can't hardly wait for some 40 degree weater.
I feel I'm in great shape as I work out allmost every day in the gym with 30 min. cartio + 1.5-2 hrs weights. I'm looking to get outdoors with the cartio (especially during the weekend). I'm wondering how a 47 yr. old is going to stack up with others I see out who are typically much younger than I. I think I'll stay away from the crowds untill I can at least get the clipless thing down pat.
I'd like to here from some others around my age with your experiences and advice.
John
