I found something interesting today
I have a calendar to record meetings, events, etc. I can't use the phone calendar because it just confuses the hell out of me. I enter the wrong times, on the wrong days, and my patience wears thin.
So I have a calendar book.
I record blood pressure readings, weight weekly, meetings, events, and miles I ride my bike.
Looking through it tonight I discovered I rode my bike..... hold on.....2.6 miles last year! That is once around the subdivision.
In 2023 I only had 86 miles. In 2022 it was 200 something.
2.6.
Granted, las summer was hot.
But more to the cause was my hearing loss. I was constantly dizzy and was really afraid to get on my bike for fear I would fall.
This year the dizziness is gone so I have no excuse.
I have a friend , who along with her sister. took. their dad on a bike ride for his 70th birthday. They covered about 500 miles in something like 14 days. They camped, used motels, and rode a loop that started near Chicago and circled northern Illinois.
Even in my best years I would not have been able to do that. When I went to Holland with Bob and Diane we rode about 25-30 miles a day for 5 days and I was pretty wiped at the end.
But 2.6?
I am even embarrassed to admit I have a bike!
It is hanging in the garage and one day soon I may just take it down and see if I can top last year's total.
That should not be too hard.
Peace and Love
