Any other fat people on here?

[chillyuk]

I never knew we so many fat buggers on here. Pity we can't all get together for a ride out. Motorists would think they are approaching a roundabout.

A chubby peloton would frighten any lorry driver now if we could just find a road wide enough to try it on

Used to be fat!
2 years ago you wouldn't have got me near that tank!

You wouldn't get me in it, literally I suspect

What they say about every fat person having a thin one inside trying to get out is true. It's also true that every thin person has a fat one trying to get in.

So don't worry about it. Just ride your bike and enjoy it.

perhaps a few laps of dis-used airfield or closed section of motorway? or St ives to Cambridge along the guided bus way and back or Grafaham water if anybody is around the Cambs neck of the woods nothing to mad if 'size is an issue'

Size doesn't have to stop you cycling long distances. I'm currently at 38 BMI but last year rode 2 200km Audaxes and a number of rides well over 50 miles.

Would it need a 'wide load' sign?

Tipping the scales at the wrong side of 17 stone here.

me too 17 4lbs and doctor told me to lose weight

 

[tjsc1]

I'm a fat git as well and I am only 4ft.10inch small!!
Doctor told me to lose weight, fast! Got high blood pressure!! and I am on Cholesteral tablets as well, also on Water tablets to help BP, thats why I have been riding for a while.....for exercise. I enjoy being out on the bike........but am still a fat git.....only a bit healthier!!

I was 228 pounds and after cycling 7 miles in 55 minutes would have aches and pains for two days.
Now i'm 190 pounds and can cycle 29.96 miles in 1hour 44 minutes and basically suffer more from cold toes than aching legs!!

I'm curious ... if the average 140 pound time trialler kiddie suddenly had 50 pounds of weight hung on his bike ... would he still
keep up with someone who trains with it all the time?

Fat people? .. I've not seen a posting from CJ or Lisa yet!!

Not for nothing do I go by the forum name Salad Dodger!!!!

Peaked at 17 stone but had crept down to about 16 stone 2 by the end of the summer. Probably back up to nearly 17 stone again after Christmas.....

............but don't we descend well?? Wahoo..........................

Hmmm. I've been browsing your link. Which FB are you?? :P I see that the 'entry level' rides at your group are rated at 12-14mph. That beautifully highlights the reason for my post

I'm not in that photo! I need to get some posted (the website's new).
But I'm here! I may not look terribly fat, but I'm 1 point off Obese

Thing is, it doesn't take much effort to get to be able to cover say 15 miles at a 12 to 14 mph or so. We start everyone at their own speed and very soon they're enjoying the pleasure of group riding at 'Conversational pace'.
