Mountain/Road Biking Roll Call - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Hilltopper1972 · 10-15-2008, 04:49 PM

Ok so here is the deal. I want to make an effort to mountain bike as much as possible. I'm calling all of those that either are currently, used to, or want to get into biking everyday as a means of exercise and fun. Exercise is hard enough when motivating on your own and I think with some encouragement we might all get a bit healthier, pick up a new hobby, and maybe even lose a few lbs in the meantime. What do you say?

I love mountain biking!!
I started about 7 months ago right after I quit drinking. I have a Cannondale Rush. It's awesome. It makes me a better rider. I just got clipless pedals. Wow , what a difference it makes in powering up hills. make for nasty falls though.

Tell me about your biking.

I love it also, have a great bike, but it's hard to ride it in my area.
But I would like to start riding it more!

I am a road cyclist. I've been riding for years. I've tapered off a little during early recovery, but plan to pick it back up.

Hi there....Some of the post here are old.... any one keeps up?

I ride year round. Have a mt. bike but prefer road. I spent the entire summer training for a century ride. I was doing 120 to 130 miles a week. Riding 4 or 5 times a week, going to the gym a couple of nights a week. Eating healthy, totally abstaining from booze, and then two weeks before the century I relapsed with 7 months of sobriety and the rest is history.

I did the 100 miller in between 5 horrible weeks of drinking. I stopped the Wednesday before the Saturday ride, but I picked it up again as soon as I got home until I got a hold of myself and stopped a few weeks later. That is when I found SR.

I am done for good with the booze.
