    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.

            Even Aqua’s getting old.

                Sometimes, but then you flip her over.

                  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.

                                          @Klaus The fan is a nice touch.

                                          It will make you look like you are going faster.
