Its Time to Lose the Beer Belly...

Well, technically its not a beer belly, I don't drink beer - actually, I hate the stuff - but it looks like one. And its long past time I got rid of it. Not to mention my health and stamina are somewhat lacking atm...

Meet my chosen fitness machine:

Its a GT Verb Elite, as far as bikes go its only a cheapy (no, Kmart bikes don't count) but I like it, its a good solid frame, in a cool colour, and its really nice to ride!

I bought a mountain bike for two reasons, first dual suspension was a must, since I had back problems a few years back riding my old hardtail was torture. Second, I want to be able to take it bush, once I get my stamina back up a bit (atm 5km is hard work, embarrassing I know..) I plan to take it on some local bike tracks, I am told there are some good ones around!

This also counts as my Christmas present this year, so I won't be opening much on the day, but I'm cool with that.
