Well it all got started like 6 years back when a friend of mine (also named Robert) got me biking with him. We'd just go riding for like 1-2 hours and talk about cars and shit for the other 2-3 hours we were out in the afternoon.

But then slowly i started riding more and more and so did he, when you have the time to put in 15-20hours of riding in a week (over 2months) you get into shape quickly.
Before i started riding i still had my baby fat, but in 1 month i dropped 30 lbs going from 150lbs to 120lbs. Then i started putting on muscle... about 15lbs worth, all on my legs. I was a dam machine for 2-3 years. In the winter i would grind away on my stationary bike in the basement 4-5 times a week for about an hour a session.

then there came the pressure to do well in school, this started to kill my riding time. As it is with work, school and friends i get riding (locally) about 3-4 times a week. I try to get up north 2-3imes a month to do some race training but weather and time dont always work in my favour.

basically it comes down to the fact i love riding, its the only time i feel truly free... its as though i'm one with my bike and the grownd below me. When i dont get enough riding (aka gf who takes up my time) i become someone i dont like to be, someone whos miserable that is.

I guess if you want to get into riding make it a priority and dont feel you have to start off bike just go for 30min at a time. If you fall inlove with it you'll have no trouble making time for riding but you will have trouble making time for life

EAT, SLEEP, RIDE (repeat)
