YES - after a long winter of medical this, medical that, months of ice and snow on the roads, leading to an inability to bike, today it was near 70, and, with some apprehension, I got on my mountain bike and rode the neighborhood. I wasn't sure I could even ride anymore at 83 after so much time off, but I did just great. Snow and rain tomorrow. Congratulations to me!

Yay Denver, it’s about time. Riding a bike is just like riding a bike, you never forget how.

I took two years off riding to take care of my wife until she passed and then I had chemotherapy that about did me in. Four days after my last chemo treatment I got back on the bike. The first rides I was very weak and didn’t go far but 18 days into my riding I was able to ride my birthday miles 72. Keep at it and it will come back.
