user 10231222 Phoenix, AZ Post #: 1,340	Folks, I don't know if I mentioned this before, but I'm overweight, out of shape, and working to change that. My goal is to ride RAGBRAI in 2011. I've already started riding and I'm having a blast! My hope is that maybe while I'm up in Iowa I might get to meet some of you A-Team folks! Maybe even some of you might ride with me. Just a thought! I'd love to have the opportunity to meet some folks! Dave

Riding a bike is a great low-impact way to get some exercise, and unlike other sports, age doesn't seem to be a barrier -- many of the people in my group didn't start until they retired, and quite frankly, they kick my ass when we're riding together!

user 10231222 Phoenix, AZ Post #: 1,342	I don't know how long I'll be up there. The week of RAGBRAI, certainly...beyond that...don't know. It's still a year out. Yeah, I need the "low impact" part of the exercise. I started running in the morning and it was really hard on my knees. So far I've never ridden far enough for my legs to get tired...my backside always gets sore first! Heh! But the guy at the bike shop says with some time, that'll get "in shape" too.

user 10231222 Phoenix, AZ Post #: 1,345	Sounds like a party in the making! Um...on three wheels? Tell me about riding on three wheels. I think my bike might be broken...it only has two.

user 5770841 Cedar Rapids, IA Post #: 49	If anyone is looking for some biking over the holiday, there is a awareness ride from Ellis on Monday. Weather permitting, I'm planning on being there. http://www.facebook.c... The Linn County Mayors' Bike Ride is planned for September 6th, 2010. Join the Linn County Trails Association and City of Cedar Rapids Bicycle Advisory Committee in this free, educational event to move the city of Cedar Rapids towards a bicycle friendly status and a comprehensive trail plan!
