Reading these posts of others who are riding again after long layoffs is truly inspiring. I’m finding that riding is therapeutic in so many ways. It’s one of the most enjoyable things I do now!

Quick update

So I thought I’d check back in and let everyone know that I’m still riding. I ride 3-4 days a week in addition to my morning walk. I did my first 10 mile ride a couple of weeks ago, but typically...

Still going!

So, I have adjusted my morning routine slightly. Instead of walking 3 miles I backed off to between 2-2.5 miles. Now that I’m riding 4-5 days a week five to six miles at a clip, I figured I could...

It does feel great! Actually, I’m surprised at just how liberating that first ride felt. This will sound corny, but it was like reuniting with an old friend.
