Well I'm only getting into it properly now. I'm still trying to get my fitness up. I grew up on BMXs, and rode my brother's mountain bike for a while after that. But he'd been knocked over on it, so the back wheel was a little buckled, resulting in brakes being applied for like 3/4 of each revolution. Also, it was stuck in a pretty steep gear. Result being that I hardly ever change gears. Heart rate monitor told me I hit 193 bpm more than once last time out, and averaged 171. Supposed to be going for a longer, more relaxed ride tomorrow.
