forward progress again.

My dad getting sick turned out to be a major set back. It was months before I got back on any of my bikes. I started hiking and lifting weights to compensate. It wasn't the same. Or at least my tan lines weren't the same. I miss my permanent gloves!

I recently started riding my road bike to the gym. It is a quick little 9 mile round trip through the city. It reminds me of riding bikes when I was a kid. It's an adventure. I get to weave in and out of people and avoid getting hit by cars (not a joking matter, but I did that as a kid too.)

I am not clipping in. I changed the pedals on my road bike back to hybrid pedals. I felt it was a necessary compromise. Progress is progress.

Here's a picture from a recent trip:
