1. What bikes do I ride?
Bianchi Infinito CV 105 (rim brakes). Actually, I don’t ride it just. I just bought it this week and fit it this coming weekend!

2. Do you take any special supplements/vitamins/minerals as you have grown older?
I take multi-vitamins and zinc. But those are mostly for anti-COVID. LOL.


3. How much do you feel you have "slowed down" if any?
I have slowed down significantly in the past five years, mostly due to a meniscus rupture. I am gradually working back!
Also fighting a slow heart rate, so I can only increase my goals and work load by so much at a time.


4. How long have you been biking? New, around a while, biked all your life?
I’ve never raced on bikes. But I’ve been a casual rider since my teen years (the 1970s).
I do aim to get more serious about riding now, as this will be my most important cardio exercise and an outlet for being outdoors more.


5. What type of biking do you do? Long rides, touring, short rec rides.
I’m still flexing my goals before I go back to the States in August. For now, I’m thinking 4-5 days/week and maybe 60+ minutes/day.
I want long rides, hence the comfort bike.

6. How often do you bike? Your approximate annual mileage?

My goal will be 4-5x/week. Not sure about mileage yet.
