I probably have 1/3 the miles ytd than what I normally have this time of year. Even with a new bike it’s tough finding the motivation to ride. I Actually look for reasons not to ride!?!?! I’ve lost some power and fitness due to the hip replacement. Attempts at riding with my old group were just not fun due to having to chase the group too much. Plus the allergies flared up last week which led to sinus and lung congestion and just not feeling energetic. I’m still walking 5-6 miles a day playing golf so the legs are staying in decent shape.

I have the Bike Florida supported tour starting late next week. I signed up to mainly to get some miles in the saddle. If nothing else it will force me to ride. It will be interesting to see how the hip does on multi day rides......and sleeping on the ground in a tent!!

Anyway, I poked around today for 28 miles and all felt fine. Hopefully I can get in a 60-80 miler this weekend.
