Solo 25 at 16.0 average speed. Pico to Liberty Park and back. Settled for 25 because I really didn't feel like riding today. Tough getting out of bed but then felt great on the bike. Really thinking the electrolytes were holding me back during the non sweat months. Last couple of rides, just water and feeling great 👍
Did run into a dude at Liberty Park named Jose. Hard to forget that name seeing 8 out of every 10 Hispanic guys I know, are named Jose. 😄
But a cool guy who claims to be friends with Omar who runs the Chalan rest stop. But Jose says he used to operate a couple bike shops in recent years but gave it up. So he's starting a little gig at Liberty Park on Saturday and Sundays doing repairs etc. Selling glasses and other swag it seems. Pretty cool friendly guy. It was a pleasure.
Then to Sizzler after the ride with Gina. She offered up Lucille's but I had to resist after thinking about it, back and forth. Well heck, eating like that is what got me into this mess in the first place.
Feeling pretty dang good over last couple of months, don't want to fail now. Awesome feeling dropping a couple of notches on the belt, going to maintain as I'm too old now to risk my health over tasty goodies. Heck, feeling too awesome on the bike. So Sizzler is just about right, small steak and about a cup of potatoes or rice, I alternate, is perfect.
But I really need to get on my horse and start using the dumbells. Looking in the mirror today after my shower, I saw how puny my arms looked. Haven't worked out in years but I really need to start before the young dudes start trying to steal my lunch money.
Not going to be able to protect myself with tiny little arms like this. 😄
Been years but I think there may still be hope for these tiny little old man arms. Hoping at 61, I might be able to rebuild at least a little bit of old man muscle.
