Looks like I got another riding buddy. A friend of mine whom I've known for a long time used to be heavily into biking and kind of got out of it. Fast forward a few years and he's gained quite a bit of weight. With a wedding 11 months away he's more motivated than ever to get back into regular shape, so he asked me if I'd be up for spending some time lifting weights with him, riding bike, etc., just for the sake of company and pushing one another. He took the plunge and went out and bought a 2011 Trek 4300 and is also eyeing up a magnetic resistance trainer for stationary training, much like the one I have. While his goal is to lose weight, it's also to get into better overall shape and begin biking more and more. I foresee some awesome trail riding when spring rolls around. 
I gotta admit though, it's crazy how much more motivated you can be when you're around somebody else who shares the same enthusiasm. I am pretty **** motivated. I ride about 15 miles (or more) a day and I lift weights every other day. I drink a ton of water and eat my apples/bananas/grapes in the mix too. But geez... now that we're getting into this mode I feel even more motivated to push myself. It's a good feeling though, so we'll have to keep on it and see how things go through the winter months and before we know it we'll be dustin off the KHS and his 4300 to hit the trails. Woo!
