Are you signed up for a certain week long bike ride or a triathlon this summer or want to lose a couple of pounds?

Well I’m looking for some cycling buddies (male or female) around the Vinton area to help each other to get in shape for up coming summer events.

Too old? Tell that to my 92 year old father in law that bought another new bike last summer.

Too fat? Tell that to a buddy of mine that was flirting with 240 lbs and now has done a number of a week long “Tour of Colorado” rides and he’s in his late 40’s.

Why am I bringing this up in mid February? Because I figure it will take a while to convince yourself that you can do it.

My thinking is to meet after work or on weekends at the Vinton-Shellsburg Junior High and decide where and how far we want to go. I believe in “No one left behind” so don’t worry about being left in the dust. You can email me if you have any question. So, if you or if you know someone that might be interested, send me an email at CycleVinton@mediacombb.net

JR February 27, 2012, 3:19 pm What a fabulous idea! I look forward to joining some of these rides! I am a big fan of the trip up to Mount Auburn on the county highway - and then flying back b/c it\'s a downhill grade all the way! Happy trails and tail winds!
