oh i love that kind of stuff.

when I was 21 I went thru Jungle School at Fort Sherman Panama, and a variety of other "schools".

heck... honestly, voluntarily ride a custom handmade bike, and doing something that I love... its a no brainer.
that kind of easy.

one of my personal issues, that I have to be wary of is hygiene.
seems that these days, the mind is willing but the body breaks down in a variety of subtle ways.

for years I've been using Pearl Izumi, but recently have started mixing it up with Castelli and Canari
going back and forth from A&D Ointment and Triple Antibiotic Ointment, maybe some Tolnaftate 1% powder when I'm just relaxing... maybe TMI

these are the things are of course are preventable, but its always amazing to me when it becomes an issue.
riding in the wet, and grime (like TDR) is crazy hard on your body. the grime can be so fine... ah... forget it. I'll spare the details.

but ya... I can pretty much just push. this last little jaunt, I lost 15lbs.
