I have been training hard on my exercise bike for some time now slowly getting stronger and faster. 40 days ago I started riding my exercise bike every single day without days off. I now do 32.3 miles/52 kilometers in 108 minutes on my high intensity days and 18 miles/29 kilometers in 60 minutes on my easy days.

I just bought a road bike and after I did my exercise bike I took the road bike out. Today was the first time in 20 YEARS I got on a bike outside. It felt like I reversed the clock, I am in significantly better shape now then I was in 2004. I rode that bike like it was a rocket! I honestly got going a little too fast but it felt amazing! I'm going to continue riding my exercise bike slowly increasing progression like I have and afterwards I'll take my road bike out for fun. Once I can afford the rest of the gear I need for it (light, speedometer, water bottle holder, etc) I'll start using it as primary and continue tracking my progress.

I'm only 47yo but I don't look or feel my age. I have lost 205lbs, I have muscle definition I didn't even have when I was in the US military!! I've never been happier!
