I signed up for a charity century ride. I am opting to do a half century because that will be a big challenge for me. I am 250 pounds at 6'1" and live a fairly lazy life style. I ride a 7.3FX that i just bought a week ago. I need some specific training advise as I cannot find any good ones on line.
today I rode and easy/moderate ride of 5.5 miles at average of 10.6 mph. there was a big hill at the end and the mph average includes stops at stoplights so that should be a bit higher. what do you think i should do? i know that is a short distance but i am starting out slow as not to hurt my self like i did while trying to run last year.
