Time for Bike Rides!

With my sweetie

My bikes have both been sitting in the office, one in mine, and the other in MSH's office space.  He keeps his bike in his office, too.  Why are they inside, you might ask?  Because we now live in a 4th floor condo with no garage.  We do miss the space that a garage gave us for all those years, but giving that up also resulted in no more yard work.... which pleases us both.

My favorite cycling buddy is MSH, but as he has many other activities keeping him busy, I've had to figure out other riding options.  Most often I go out with my friend Jana.

Yesterday, April 2, we were able to get in a 21 mile to the north of Eugene - we call it "Bottom Loop" because it involves riding on that road north of Coburg.  We try to fit in multiple rides each week, when the weather permits and when we're both in town.

Rides in the 20-35 mile range are just right, taking a couple of hours out of my generally very busy days.  Cycling is the perfect exercise for me, and I'm planning to ride as much as I can over the coming months. 

I have knee problems (and who, at this stage in life, doesn't...), but what I've found is that cycling does not hurt in the way that walking does.  

Take care of yourselves, dear readers, and I wish you a happy Spring!
