Today, I had to ride in just for a required physical. A little hot coming back, but going in at 7 am was tremendous. Commute traffic going into Temecula, motorists acted like the angry commute crowd. Difficult getting about freeway on ramps, because traffic had right green arrow and no time for me to get over in lane going straight ahead. Too much traffic for that..Got some harrassment from kids with windows down, while trying to get over two lanes..
ANyway had my work physical. Only at work 2 hours.. My main point. The doctor asked what do I do to myself. My pulse and lung capacity was tremendous for my age. Without knowing asked what exercise I do. May had suspicions due to tan lines on my hands? Didn't say so. My lung capacity was 5.3 liters. Last year was 4.8 liters.. Plus weight down 12 pounds..
I go on a tour of Nevada next week for 6 days touring. I have greater expectations of weigt loss, since tour organizer will be giving us a proper diet for cyclists and the area is so remote, there are no McDonalds or hopefully mad motorists present... Just the "Lonely Highway." US 50...
