@Machka9, what a beautiful picture. Thank you so much for sharing!

That photo was taken about 6 km from where I live.

And it represents a little goal I've got ... to cycle all the way up to the top of that mountain. There is a road that goes up there, and every time we have driven up (only a few times) there have been cyclists riding up.

I am not a climber. Too many years in Manitoba (Canada) where it is flat as a pancake. So I am in awe of the "mountain goats" on bicycles around here and how easy they make it look. But we've been doing climbing rides once a week and I'm building up the strength.

Maybe next summer.

Hey all,
Yeah I'm still here. Just have been traveling a lot and no time to track miles. Been working out, but just not recording. I'll come back in June when I'm around more, although am traveling to Texas, but I'll try to keep better track.

SO GOOD TOO 'SEE' YOU....PLEASE DO join us in June...I FOR SURE WILL BE HERE...

Have been seeing all that about Texas.It really is sad.. One does not really comprehend things like that until you've been thru it. We had a tornado not far from here a few years back. It barely missed us. We drove around looking thru it all. All I could do was cry. It really hit home how bad those are. We were lucky it missed us and my brother. It missed him by 2 tenths of a mile...WE WERE BLESSED!

Have not felt 100% today so I only managed a 1.75 mile walk...I guess it's a semi-rest day...

TOTAL THUS FAR MAY 27TH..........122.75 walking miles...

Plus I did a 35 min stair climbing workout in the evening. My yard is full of little sets of stairs. The longest one is 7 steps so I mainly focused on that one, up and down, up and down, but I also jogged between the others and did them too for some variety. In total, just over 1000 stairs climbed.

We had planned to cycle a lot more on the weekend but high winds (gusting to 76 km/h) blew in on Saturday, and then on Sunday we got caught in quite a large hailstorm. It just wasn't meant to be this weekend.
