I started my weight loss journey in June of 2011, as of this morning I am down 100lb from my highest weight of 370lb. Some buddies and I planned on riding the Brown Mountain loop and it just happened to coincide with hitting one of my goals.

We woke up to the first rain we have seen in months but decided to make a go of it anyways. By the time we got to the trail head things had cleared and the trail could not have been in better shape.

Trail head.

Getting ready

Great trail

Snacks provided...Huckleberries and Strawberries...yum

My parents spend their summers at Fish Lake so we dripped by their camp for a well deserved lunch!! At the 14.5mi mark I hit the wall and my legs gave out, cramped up and I was done. This was a much more challenging trail than the 20miler we took a few weeks back. I headed back to my folks camp and caught a ride back to the truck. The three amigos pushed on and finished the 19.5mi loop.

A great day with good friends...could not have imagined a better way to spend the day celebrating a mile stone.

Way to go compadre! Who would have thought you would be combining mountains and bicycles 100 lbs. ago?! Keep up the good work.

Hug your kids every day, let them know they are loved, keep them safe the best you can.
