Cycling Computer Reading
Looked at my cycling computer today. The odometer reading was 292.68. I did not start out with a cpu on the bike, I think I had right at 100 miles on there before I got the computer on. So looks like I have rode somewhere around 400 miles since I got back on the bike. Chris, my son has not been riding anywhere near the mileage that I have. I hope to kick his young ass in another week when we go back down to the Uwharrie National Forest to hit the trails down there. I feel really good to be back on the bike and getting back in shape. I have lost about 14 lbs so far and I think I am going to lose quite a few more if I stay at it. I am 47 years old now, so I feel like if I want to do this it is now or never. I see so many folks my age and they are just not able to even think about exercise anymore. I had a guy at work who just can't believe that a "Grown Man" would ride a bike. I think it is because he knows he couldn't do it. Not that he can't, he won't. Looks like work. Sure the first month was hard, but then it just gets fun. As I feel my legs getting stronger and my heart beating easier, I know that for me this is the right track. As I look ahead to the months coming up I know there will be challenges. The heat is just around the next corner so is another birthday.
