Some context. I’m a 35 year old dad who’s been fighting off dad bod with some almost daily evening riding on a borrowed woman’s Schwinn MTB. I’ve worked my way up to an average of 50mi/week for the last 3 months and decided I wanted a bike more suited to the longer rides I’ve come to enjoy on my local bike path. (Florida flat)
Never been on a drop bar bike, never worn lycra, nor clipped in. Am I in over my head starting on a 2500$ Specsheet Warrior’s wet dream? Or is this just entry point for the hobby in 2023?

You are 35, and the metabolism you have at age 50 is locked in for life.
This is an investment in your health and future, which is priceless.
So many benefits of cardio, and cycling is a great lifetime sport. No regrets! 🤙
As long as you ride it, I don’t think it’s too much.
