Just clocked 2000 miles

[ThePainInSpain]

Whilst it may not be a lot to some of you, it is an achievement for me.

After my ride today had clocked 2003 miles since I started cycling again at the end of August last year.

90% of this was off road.

My next milestone (or should it be kilometerstone) is 4000 km's 9just over 2500 miles)

Because of this, my annual check-up with the cardiologist last Friday was A-OK.

The walls of my heart are getting back to normal, My glucose is spot on, and my good cholesterol is high and my bad is low.

He had recommended losing weight (I have lost 2.5 stone) and exercise, hence the cycling.

Not too bad for an old fart (nearly 63) like me

Just what the doctor ordered, eh? Or maybe more than what the doctor ordered! Have you got to the stage yet where you're cycling more for pleasure than for your health?

I started my exercise regime with walking, but have always enjoyed cycling (MTB's), so as soon as I felt confident to get back on a bike I did.

I do it equally for pleasure and for my health, I have a cross trainer for the rainy days.

Living where we do, we have some great scenery, but also some cruel climbs.

I've just completed 36,000. Not bad considering I hardly ever do weekends.

Please tell me you mean 3,600. Or have you just done a round the world ride (with diversions)?
