not long like yours. would love to try it maybe something on a smaller scale the first time out. Like I said the east cost. Halifax P.E.I, Newfoundland. I have heard Newfoundland is very hilly. I have seen many pictures and it just looks so beautiful.
There is a weekend bike ride that my friend and I would love to do but you have to raise 5 thousand dollars and if you don't raise it you have to make up the difference. There is no way I could raise that kind of money and put that kind of money out for a weekend of biking. I would say my longest bike ride is 100k not very much. my trainer would have me ready if i was going to do it. she is great that way.
Cuba sounds like a nice one. Please share the stories and share pictures.

Congrats on your decision to get healthier. There is never a reason to feel self conscious about that. One lesson I've learned is you don't have to train like an Olympian. Just simple walking is very effective and you can do it anywhere.
I've lost 150lbs and I can run, but I'm a little tired and not feeling as well today so I'm about to go to a local park to walk a bit. I just want to get some steps in and I'm always glad I did, even if it seems like no big deal.
Good luck I know you gonna kill it!

Thank you. Glad you liked the piece. BILL
Thanks for the kind words and for the support. Yes, I am already planning two rides, 1) Portland Oregon to Seattle Washington, and 2) across Cuba. Just last week I was looking at the east coast options that now exist. There have been hundreds of miles of bike path and road routes created along the east coast. Happy to brainstorm that option also. Have you made some long distance rides? BILL
I had the same type of soreness doing things I had done before, heavier. For me, it was because I was walking different. I didn't have to carry so much weight and my gait changed, therefore the muscles I was using changed. Basically instead of the fat guy waddle, I was walking with a proper gait. It went away after a month or so of exercising.
