RE: Not riding....sort of. :-)
57 a couple months ago. I drug out the ol bike about7 years ago too. I love to go pedeling. Just gets the lungs an legs pumped up, clears the head too. Got me a great road bike about 4 years ago, man what a feeling to wear out a good set of tires from pedeling those many miles.
I been thinking about packing some shorts, sneekers and Tshirt and a washcloth an towel, then ride the Ultra a couple hours to some cool spot and change cloths then take off for a run.
Then wipe off and change back to ride the Ultra some more. ya got to admit there are so many great places to run or bike that we ride right past on our scooters.

I have a dilema.
About 4 weeks ago, I decided to purchase a road bike AND a mountain bike. Problem is, I feel sad every time I look at my shiny RK in my garage. And my wife would never let me live it down, if I came home from a bike ride, then hopped on the RK for a spin. She would lose it.

I will turn 35 in just over an hour. My wife says I am going through a mid life crisis, although, I don't feel I am middle aged yet. I cut my hair in a mohawk type look, as much as I could do and still keep my job. And although I have not started to work out, I have lost a little over 35 lbs in the last year, without doing anything. Except the consumption of my previosly favorite beverage, BOURBON. A year ago last month I stopped drinking. Not completely, though. I have had 5 occasions that I have had a drink since then, but stopped at one. Just not for me, right now. It may not seem like a lot for some, but I was drinking 6-7 nights a week. So, it was a big change for me. I feel better, for sure, but need to start doing some exercise. If I feel this good already, some cardio, will make it even better. When I got out of the Corp, I was in excellent shape, and worked out at least twice a day. Obviously, I have a very addictive personality. No booze anymore, but this pc gets a lot of time. So much so, that my wife says she would rather I take up drinking again. LOL
You will find a balance, just give it time.

So... Is the dilema the balance between good health and good livin ... or that your Wife would lose it if you ride the shiny RK?

You guys are lucky to only deal with age.
As a leo formany years, I abused my body on the streetsdealing with drunks, bar fights etc, etc etc.
I broke many bones, and was shot once. Had multiple surgeries due to line of duty injuries.
I was forced to retire at 41. I now at 53 have severe arthritis. I take morphine 3 times a day just to be able towalk.
My Ultra is my only link to being a "normal" person. I try to ride 50 miles daily, but sometimes the weather keeps me home.
Take care of the body while you can. You only have so many miles on it, just like the bike.
