    Another factor is that cycling isn't nearly as popular in groups of the population whose name is more like Eylül or Berat. They usually prefer a 3series BMW over a road bike 🙂

          Tore a muscle in it pretty bad, and then the same thing happened in my neck. I didn't work out for a month.

          Sucked. 😞

          Better now, though, and I'm stretching multiple times daily to hopefully prevent future injuries.

          Please love yourself.

                  Finally got off my fat ass and took a ride.

                  2020-06-07-15-34-17-Afternoon-Ride-Ride-Strava.jpg

                  It has been a few years since I did this. I was feeling good the entire time. It was hot so i consumed more than 1/2 of a 16 oz water bottle on the ride.

                  I am going to do this humble route every day, for a week. Then bump it up to 10 miles maybe 15 depending on how a feel for q week. I will be back doing 20-30 miles a day in a month or less.

                  Back in the saddle baby!

                    Good Job, Mark. I got out my bike as well though I haven't actually ridden yet. I need to do some maintenance - replace the brake pads and such.

                      Nice, Mark! No biking for me, but I'm doing martial arts again. I stopped at the dragon pole way back in the day, so I'm doing forms again, getting my flexibility and fitness back up, and learning the pole. I go out daily.

                        Went from the 7 mile straight to a 21 mile today.

                        Man! This feels great. Legs are definitely sore. Some nice hills on this ride.

                          Yesterday's ride was a new record in terms of elevation for me.

                          This is the area where I rode. Man, that was beautiful.

                            That´s great, Mark! Sore legs is a great feeling.

                            Klaus, I´m jealous of those views, but that looks like some tough biking.

                            I really do miss biking sometimes. I stopped doing it when I moved out of the country and never got back into it, mostly because of my dog (she runs/hikes/kayaks with me). My plan is to get one of those bike trailer things for kids when she can´t run with me anymore and take her out on rides. We´re not quite there yet, but at almost-10 years old I´m guessing we´re not too far off. In the meantime, I do still want to get my bike (my trusty old steel-frame Miyata touring bike) tuned up and start getting back into it. At this point, though, it probably needs a lot more than a tune-up.

                              I’ve always thought it depends on why they’re sore.

                                  Wow Klaus! Awesome ride. I will get back to that level soon enough. Today was a stretch for sure. But the bar has been set.
