This blog is a companion to my Motobecane Fantom 29 blog. I am using this blog to write about my experience with my 2006 Raleigh Grand Prix Road Bike. I use the bike for fitness.
Struble Lake is only about 6 miles from my house. I did even know it existed until I started biking. Struble Lake is a 386-acre impoundment owned by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and managed by the Fish and Boat Commission for public fishing and boating
Biking is great--- it gets you out and about in the world.
50+ years old. In July 2006 I started a fitness regime to lower my cholesterol. I do strength training and bike riding. This worked as my weight went from 206 lbs to 170 lbs over a 6 month period. My cholesterol went from 260 to 198.
I do not work for Motobecane, bikesdirect or any other bike company. I am an engineer at the local power company.
