thingstodo just about says it all, great post.
Last year my brother talked me into a MS society sponsored weeklong ride. It was about 300 miles over 5 days. I started training by riding into work a couple times a week, about 14 miles each way. We have a gym so I can take a shower before working. The limiting factor for me at first was the saddle soreness, but that is overcome by consisitent weekly riding, and gradually increasing the length of rides.
My bike is an old Peugeot road bike that I purchased in about 1983. Only spent about $200 on it back then. You can purchase something today that weighs about 50 percent less for about $350. It actually rolls real nice, but does not fit me perfectly. Cannot afford to buy a new one.
Cycling is a great low-impact way to increase your cardio fitness. I hope you decide to try it.
