I'm Baaack!

I have been WAY too scarce. Of course, my rides have been humdrum and tedious for the most part. Last year, I barely eeked out 179.9 miles. This year is going better at least. My first adventure ride in a while was just this last Wednesday, June 13 when I drove 2 hours to one of Sweden's Canals. My husband's mom and sister took a ride on a tour boat as I rode around the countryside and tow path.

It was a BRUTAL 7.75 miles that nearly destroyed me. A whopping moving average speed of 2.9 mph. I've not worked so hard for a ride in ages. I practically had to crawl to the car at the end of it. Some nice photos and it was nice to be off the hamster tracks.

I'll start checking in more regularly. Hope all are good!

Welcome back. You were missed!!!

 

I understand your plight. The last couple of years have been rough for me too.
Feeling better now, I think I have the health issues under control.
Should be back on the trike next week!
Keep pedaling!

 

Congrats AD on the weight loss, that is awesome. UC & Terri, good to hear from you guys again as well as you Jon. I think the past two years has put a hurting on everyone. My riding is non existent at the moment since every bike/trike is in storage.'m getting desperateI and ticked....need Willie G to go get it for me.

 

Awesome news, AD! I'm hoping to get the same results as I build back up some strength.

I hadn't anticipated that the terrain around the 'new' (we've been here a 1.5 year now) house would give me such issues. But after the canal ride, I've gotten stronger and able to tackle the hills for shorter rides now. That feels good.

I've gotten a few more rides done since I popped in, but just more hamster tracks. Rimbo rail trail and the way by the river. Oh, and now, my husband is playing tennis with a friend not far from Old Uppsala. We've made it a habit where he drops me off at the burial mounds and I ride across the city to the area around the ski slopes. Feels quite nice to not do an 'out-n-back'
