Well, that's not fair. I committed exercise yesterday, and did I wake up all muscly-bulgy and devoid of fat, as I clearly deserved? I did not!
So this morning I have added an extra loop to my neighbourhood training lap. Am still avoiding the main road until I learn not to want to ride in the middle of the street, which is probably sub-optimal.
Theresa and I took baby Morgan to the Stanford Art Museum yesterday, and the campus round about was all full of these young student-things zooming about on their bikes in utter confidence and power. I ... kind of remember that, but it was long ago. I am old and creaky. And wobbly yet. I shall do it more, and get better.
Right now, though, I am going to walk down to the bike shop, and price up gear. This is the sort of errand I should be doing on the bike, if I were fit for it. Ah, irony. But we must learn to walk before we can cycle: it is written.
