Low 70s, blue Skies, no clouds, with low wind and humidity. Did 20 miles on Saturday and 35 on Sunday. Today's cool and cloudy so I'm working on putting together my 1984 Team Pro frame.

I think I've only posted a pic or two of myself on the forums. And it wasn't in a kit or anything . Like I've mentioned before I let my weight get to 238 , and then I started to get off my arse and move . And I feel better for it. Really I do.I stepped on the scale before dinner tonite 190lbs. I'm 5'9 so I was to say, a little pudgy. That's 48 lbs in a year and a half. I changed my eating habits because of my sons diabetes. My wife and I were going to lead by example . You rarely find soda in our house now . Usually when we have guest over. And I cut drinking alcohol out . I have a liken to bourbon , mix that with a cola and bam instant weight gain . Mostly of all no white bread and ......potatoes. I'll always ask for veggies if we go out for dinner. And the Photoshop comment I meant to be humble and kinda was hoping someone would show their artistic skills. I told Nicolas I would be posting pics and videos of some rides. I'm trying to find the pic of me when I was 238 . It was a awful pic that I hated .
