Age does make a difference.

On the way to a movie yesterday, I looked at my tracker and saw that in
four days, I had gone twelve miles with an average speed of fourteen
miles per hour.

Then I reminisced about my daily commute back in 1984. Adding up the
time to work, and the time from work, I realized that I spent sixty
minutes going 26 miles per hour every day for a few years.

Yep, _definitely_ slowing down!

Think how much you'd be slowing down if you weren't riding.

It might not be age. It might be the fact that since then
I gained 75 pounds and lost only fifty.

And during the years that I was gaining, obviously I wasn't doing much
to maintain my health. So maybe (hope, hope) it might still be possible
to regain the former condition.

If you put garbage in a computer nothing comes out but garbage.
But this garbage, having passed through a very expensive machine,
is somehow ennobled and none dare criticize it.

I have a friend that lost 80 lbs in one season training for a 3 day
"raise money to fight cancer" ride. You can lose weight riding if you
do it enough but you have to watch your diet.

The season is winding down here now and I'm already starting to notice a
few extra pounds. Just commuting isn't enough to burn those calories.
Well, not my commute anyway. Time to get back to the gym full time
and/or reduce calories.
