I've always enjoyed leisurely cycling, but running is my primary passion. However, chronic back problems mean my Half-Marathon days are likely over. So, I'm now incorporating some cycling into my weekly exercises.
I also enjoy swimming. Hence, it's only natural that I consider a Triathlon. I have a couple targeted for late August/early September (i.e., Sprint Triathlons). Although I believe I could complete one, now, my wife won't let me do one until we return from our many-years-planned trip to Italy in July. So I have to wait until we return.

I also did another post about finding the right bike for my wife, who except for a very recently reborn love of cycling does not do any fitness-related activities.

I look forward to participating on this Forum.

I've been to Italy a few times, very nice place.
Which city(ies) are you folks visiting?

We're hitting the typical tourist sites, doing a whirlwind schedule, in Rome, Florence and Venice (7 days total). Then, we're doing Greek isles cruise out of Venice. We figured we'd knock ourselves out doing the Italy tour, and then use the cruise to veg out a bit.
