In the summer of 2007 I got a pretty serious wake-up call about my personal fitness, and decided that it was time to solve that problem for once and for all - and a major component of fixing the problem involved increasing my amount of daily exercise.
When I was younger, I was full-on into the whole 80's BMX phenomenon, and I have always loved cycling, so I bought a couple of bikes and started riding again. This site documents my personal progress and the lessons I have learned along the path of transforming myself from a fat tub of goo into something resembling a human being.
