Finally got off my fat ass and took a ride.
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!

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.

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.
-
True that.
-
Nice, Klaus!
-
@Klaus That is very cool. A good ride!!

Turned the home cinema man cave into a pain cave.
-
@Klaus Do you have some program that shows a bike race that you follow along with?
-
I have a feeling Klaus knows his way around Zwift island.
-
Yes, I'm using Zwift right now. I'm not sure whether it's the best program for what I have in mind. I don't really care for the "social" aspect of Zwift. I don't want to race. I want to do structured training.
