How true. Takes a lot of discipline to stick to a routine.
I did a summer (2 years ago) as a Wilderness Ranger - best cross training for an aging body - reduced caloric intake, lots of walking, fresh air, and positive vibes from everyone you meet (almost). These days, the bike is my cardio + yardwork is my muscular exertion, had to take down four 40' - 50' trees and haul them out. i could do harder cardio or more focused cross training, but = all work and not enough play makes Wildwood a dull boy.
You need something besides that R600, a nice classic steel frame rides soooo much nicer. Are you smelling all the roses along the way?
Who really knows what tomorrow brings, maybe new direction for my soul and things.....
