My doctor has given his qualified O.K. so it appears I am good to go. (“Try to dial it back a notch and pay attention to your body.”) Good advice for anyone my age. I managed to take advantage of a mild(ish) day to get in a 5 hour road ride. I used my mountain bike with knobby tires and dealt with some strong wind gusts to go along with temperatures that started out below freezing but thankfully got a bit warmer by the end. If I can do five hours in those conditions, I should be ready for anything the southern US has in store. Of course mother nature has the final word and she needs to know that I am rooting for her to stay calm and in a good mood. Now on to my final week of heavy training followed up by a more relaxing week before our San Diego launch.
You rock, Bob! Do not forget to keep us in the loop re. when you will come through AZ. If possible, we’ll meet up with you. Can you talk Chris into taking some time off and stay with us to do some painting while you are rolling along?
