But you said his sister never gets old?

Sometimes, but then you flip her over.

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!

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.

[Aqua Letifer]

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.

[Klaus]

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

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

[Optimistic]

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.

[Optimistic]

True that.

[mark]

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.

[Aqua Letifer]

Nice, Klaus!

[taiwan_girl]

@Klaus That is very cool. A good ride!!

[Klaus]

Turned the home cinema man cave into a pain cave.

[Copper]

@Klaus The fan is a nice touch.

It will make you look like you are going faster.

[kluurs]

Jan Ullrich is drafting off of you.

[jon-nyc]

Where was that when I visited? One of the emptyish rooms downstairs?

[Klaus]

If I remember correctly, Ms. NYC spent the night in that room.

@Klaus Do you have some program that shows a bike race that you follow along with?
