Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I reckon it's a part of some transition ops also.
Saw it on Botched. Looked very real, at least on tv.

In the process of re doing my fence. Took time off from work to get it done, and then lowe’s lost my order. So now, I have zero personal time left and only about 2.5 days off per week from the rest of my life.

I now have more basses than bikes. And my home gym is 90 percent complete. That’s about sums up my life at the moment.

Oh, I cut down a bunch of trees at my house a couple weeks ago, one of them required me to be on a ladder. I swear the tree was falling on top of me so, I gracefully fell of the ladder and F my right ankle up pretty good. It had stopped hurting but apparently pedaling this morning caused the pain to come back. Just another thing in my life telling me to stop riding for a bit. When I walk up the stairs it feels like I have clothing dragging down the back on my ankle, but i’m not wearing clothes…….
I developed a thing 15 or so years ago, that felt like I was wearing sicks when barefoot.Turns out it's cause by poor circulation in the lower extreme ties and, as we age, it moves up.into the caves. Thus my cardiologists prescription tto.keep riding.

I have poor circulation, this feel like a rubber band being dragged down my achilles tendon. Super weird feeling. Only on stairs mind you. Today that sensation is gone.

I have a numb patch on the inside of my left knee, left over from whatever nerve impingement/damage thing happened two years ago.
