Default Mountain Biking? Anyone into it?

Well I'm trying to relive my youth! And bought me a bike!! Hell, who am I kidding I'm trying to drop 40 pounds off my fat but and get back to who I once was. Over the last 8 years I've went from 160 to 218.2lbs as of this morning. the wife and I attended a wedding this weekend and after seeing the pics of me beside my fit and trim wife. I was embarrassed and ashamed of myself. So I set out yesterday afternoon on hunt for a bike at the Local bike shop. Picked up a left over Trek Remedy 7. Santa Claus was good to me this year, and thank God for my Christmas bonus. This bike is way over my ability range, but I hope I can grow and get back in shape to were I can really enjoy it. Got up this morning at 6AM , through on some spandex (under neath my shorts and jacket of course) and hit the road. 5.1 miles and boy am I beat!! I almost fell up the stairs trying to climb back into the house after the ride. But boy do I feel good.

This is part of a total life and health change for me. I had hopefully my last cigarette yesterday at lunch. I'm kicking the patch and fighting my way through it. I'm also attending a Weight Watchers as they have the best diet plan I have found. I'll try to keep everyone updated as I progress
