Magic Cure For Weight Loss Found!

This just in...

After dropping 40 lbs in the last year and a quarter, I've discovered that bicycling is a great way to lose weight. For real.

All jokes aside the weight will come off if you want it to folks, and if you work hard and make a few lifestyle changes. My latest discovery is that if you really want to shake the poundage is to get out on the road bike.

Round here, mountain biking trails have too much flow (if you can say that!). So you wind up doing a lot of coasting while you are twisting and turning and such. But head out on the road bike and it is pedal, pedal, pedal. No coasting, just working.

And it works.

Former pro racer and good guy Joe Parkin once told a complaining fellow racer how he could drop those last pounds. "You want to lose weight? I'll tell you how to lose weight. Get up in the morning and eat a bagel, go ride 100 miles real slow, come home, drink a dark beer, and go to bed."

I'm sure Joe's plan works, but I'll stick to mine for now. Riding early and often as I can. Eating right. And enjoying life.

Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Cheers.
