well im about 3/4 stone overweight, i used to ride everywhere on bikes before i passed my test, then things happened(long story) and i stopped riding as much then none existant.
i bought a new bike earlier this year to get fit and ride again (loved xc mountain biking) and never really did much, apart from hit a tree and end up in casualty.
my motivation to do this has not been a priority (jobs, house, money etc) but now i wanna get fit again, so........
i kind of volounteered to do a 200 mile bike ride in may next year, giving me something to work towards.
have i got time to get right for it? what shoud i do? i cant use treadmills because i need to keep impact on my knee to a minimum ( i buggered it 11 years ago riding). i was thinking plenty of riding (obviously) and swimming.
any ideas/thoughts?
