Just curious. I recently picked up a Trek 7.5 FX to help me continue to lose weight and to prepare for a true road bike. I also wanted a healthy hobby and lifestyle change. I'm planning on adding a full out road bike late next year (hopefully '09 on clearance) when I'm more competent and know exactly what I want.

I occasionally ride a bike as a part of my running. I am training to run my first marathon.

Don't worry about your future bike purchase until you wear out the first one or if you decide to compete.

Make sure you switch up too, don't just ride. Go for long walks and the occasional jog. Each activity works slightly different muscle groups and has it's own benefits. Just keep yourself trying new things. Strict pattern draws the fun out of excercise faster tan most people realize.

Good luck with your goals (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
