Don't know if what you're doing is a good idea.
I've been cycling for fitness for 24 years, though cycling all my life. I gave up counting totals etc. years ago. I found that I was becoming a slave to the bike. I've continued to cycle lots and go bike touring regularly. Yesterday I had a wonderful cycle in very hilly terrain of only about 20 miles and I really enjoyed. The only thing I count, which keeps me at it, is my fun. I'm going cycling in a minute with friends I've cycled with on Sundays for 22 years. We will probably do about 50 miles, easy. I would prefer to do 35. |

I found that I was becoming a slave to the bike. I've continued to cycle lots and go bike touring regularly. Thanks for the suggestion. However I was first dianose with borderline high blood pressue when I was 35. One doctor suggested that I begain taking pressure pills. I said that I plan to excised more, he said no. I change doctors and she said let try it. It worked, however over time I find that short ride didn't do the job. I increased the miles and the pressure levels came down. 39 years later I have found that longer rides is my answer. The good part is that I enjoy long solo rides. This work for me. For others safety, getting lost or other reasons might make what I do not work for them. Good luck with your method and what ever work to keep off the pills is a good method.

I think what you are doing is great. I used the bike to lose over 122 lb 3
years ago and have maintained it. Today, I do brevets and other assorted forms of toture. Will be riding the Knoxville Double next weekend. You might want to check out http://www.ultracycling.com/ . The UMCA has a year around challenge where they give awards for anyone who does a century per month. Lets just say that if that last poster thought you were crazy, he shouldn't check out the totals there. "Bill Cotton" wrote in message . .. wrote in message ups.com...
