Things continue to improve. Doing short rides. All evidence points to the home stretch.

Been a long, long time since I had to deal with forced immobility (ironically), but I recall and know the frustration acutely. Here’s to riding soon, and easily!

I’m still a long way from a 156 mile ride. It’s over the horizon — at least from the perch I’m on now. Tomorrow is a new day.

The present.

Indeed.

Putting things off. I know that skill well.

Yoga and stretching are going to take a more prominent place in my life. Thanks for the reminder. It’s easy to overlook the obvious.

I appreciate your thoughts on the subject of staying “healthy”. After years of neglect it remains a challenge to be good to myself.

The back is healing slowly. Gives me a chance to practice patience. Went out this morning hoping for a little ride. Had to accept a micro ride..

I can relate to the withdrawal. I had to step away from all my bikes since the beginning of August for logistical reasons. Yesterday I finally got to ride the 250cc China scoot from my old house to its new home in Hyde Park. A trip of 156 miles. It felt good to be back in the saddle again.

the future’s a mystery,
today is a gift,
that’s why we call it
the present!

Not saying Yoga mind you…..but whatever works for you.
