I need to get my bike back out on the road. I have only done one 10 mile ride all year so far. I actually did an Ironman back in 2017. Seems like way more than 7 years ago. Back then 50+ mile rides was my norm 1 or 2 times a week. Today I would be doing good to get in 20. I am way out of shape. My wife had triple bypass surgery in Nov. 21. I have spent way less time out running, swimming, and riding since then to spend more time with her.
I am blessed I live right near a 4-lane road that is 10 miles long, with very little traffic. I can ride in the right lane and traffic just goes around me. Never had any issues riding there. I hate to see bikers out on busy roads and 2 lane roads that have a lot of traffic.
