NO bicycle riding today since wife and I are at Disney World celebrating her 65th birthday today and retirement last Friday. Will be back home Monday for a 70 to 100 mile ride. Did get out today at 0435 for a walk/jog combo of 4.74 miles though.

8/29/15: Made it a mere 1.05 miles before bonking. The 100F heat and all-uphill trip home might have been factors. Took bus home. Not an encouraging start.
8/31/15: Just over 3 miles around neighborhood in cooler evening. Felt good. Might get the hang of this again.
9/3/15: Rode 1.5 miles to bike shop for tuneup, walked home. Exhausting.
9/4/15: Walked 1.5 miles to shop for freshly tuned bike, rode a slow, meandering 3+ miles home. Felt good again.

Ha-Ha!!! and WELCOME back
