@Cridders88 I would love to be able to cycle to work but the roads just aren't cyclist friendly. Some are more so than other but there's no bike lanes or anything. The highways people are driving 75-105 km/h (that's 45-65 MPH) and rumble strips on the shoulders of the roads....So it would be a delicate plan and damn we have hills. Either going to have to have "thunder quads" or lose a good bit of weight to be able to do 18.5 miles (one way). I had thought about doing it but there is a very small window where this is enough light in the morning to make it to work on time....probably a bad idea lol
Anyway, there are fortunately a cycling group I used to ride with but I'm usually holding up everyone so I tend to cycle alone. Everyone has high end racing bikes and I have a hybrid and so on. Just not as seasoned as these guys. But, I think if I get back into some jogging that will help. I'll probably be back to where I was last year by the time it gets cold again.
I was doing pretty good until January got here, not just because it got cold but started raining everyday and then this pandemic and I got all kinds of yummy stuff at the store thinking we might be stuck at home for a long time. Anyway, it is what it is. Definitely not as easy to get with it as it was when I was 25 lol
@eastofeden I was on a walking path, I try to get back to it before I take it to the streets. That way if I get tired I'm not on the side of the road in the grass getting ate up by chiggers....I made that mistake once..once!
