Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
.Went for my first bike ride in 2 months 8.5 miles. Id planned to do more but the one section has turned to slush after 2 days of 40+ degree temps so I only got in about half the ride I wanted. It may have been a blessing though because I did what I often do and rode as hard as I could for most of the time on the way out and kicked my own ass.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
So are you actually pedaling in the snow or is there a plowed road you ride on? Seems like that would be as hard as riding on sand, crazy difficult workout.revbob wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 1:20pm.Went for my first bike ride in 2 months 8.5 miles.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
First ride of the year is always a rude discovery of lost stamina, but riding in such cool weather isn't going to make it any easier. Youse crazy riding in February.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
No it was mostly packed or clear, Burlington clears half of its bike path and leaves the other half for xcountry skiers. But the next town north doesn't do anything. Itwould have been fine but the warmer weather made it deep slush amd yeah that is like riding in sand. Maybe if I had one of those fat ti bikes.Sparky wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 6:59pmSo are you actually pedaling in the snow or is there a plowed road you ride on?

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Back when I still rode outdoors, that first week was an ego nutpunch. Every spring. No matter how much I rode indoors in the basement, and I did several thousand kilometres, shifting outdoors again was initially harsh.revbob wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 8:11pmYeah it sucks going back to 0 after just 2 months butit was 40 and sunny, couldn't pass it up.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑12 Feb 2022, 7:03pmFirst ride of the year is always a rude discovery of lost stamina, but riding in such cool weather isn't going to make it any easier.

Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Got a tooth pulled today. I honestly don't remember it being this difficult when I was younger.
Re: Middle age health thread for fatties
Ouch! I think I've only had one permanent tooth pulled, years ago when I cracked it. Baby teeth just seemed to fall right out or a loving family member tied a string to a door knob and had a good laugh.
