Fat Boy Challenge 2009

Me too. I've been riding since about 1990 but the last two years I have had some challenges and hardly got on my bikes at all. Job change, two moves across country and in August I broke my wrist mountain biking. Two surgeries and almost four months off my bikes. Needless to say I've packed on some weight and lost my cycling mojo. 2009 is the year I make my comeback.

Age: 50

Height/weight: 6'0"/221

Weight goal: 185

Performance goal: Get back to where I was 2 years ago and maybe even a little bit better than that. I usually ride with guys 15 years younger than me and I used to be able to hang tough and also inflict a little bit of pain on them every now and then. I want that back. Bad. Also this is the year I actually try an organized race of some sort. Probably MTB, but it might be a road or cyclocross event too.

Bikes: Santa Cruz BlurLT Classic and a Litespeed roadie

It's time to suffer and I'm ready.
