Hi, my name is Chris and I am a born-again cyclist who got lost from the sport for bout 16 years. I grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana just a stones throw away from the Major Taylor Velodrome. I started riding bikes pretty seriously at age 14 and with my brother we traveled the globe attending races and riding our bikes. However during college and afterward I got involved in baseball and football and neglected my bike for almost two decades. Now I find myself married to an awesome wife, I have two beautiful kids, a morgage, bad knees, high blood pressure, a scare with the big "C word" and it seems like in the blink of an eye I went from @200lbs to 300lbs.
So this blog is a journal of how I am going to use cycling to become healthier and happier. It will also serve to chronical my rediscovery of the beauty and enjoyment of all aspects of cycling.
