Default Re: New to cycling

A GT in front of a GT, nice pic.

The Giant sounds like a good steed to eat up those road km's, sounds like a choice of two very nice bikes to me.

I just did a 40 km rolling road ride just to keep the rides going every day that I can manage them.

So far just doing frequent rides and eating a bit better (as well as cutting down on the Ice Break iced coffee) I have dropped 4kgs in a bit over a week. That makes a noticeable difference in body fat when you consider that although I have dropped some weight in body fat I have also gained some in lean muscle mass, lean muscle is 3 x more dense than fat.

It is great, I am so motivated right now (easy to be when you have a Merckx to ride), just have to keep it going.
