Not quite mundane.But i have decided to pack in cycling.I have just decided this afternoon.Not had a decent ride since the Lymphoma cancer three years ago,how time passes.This heart problem is a little reason also the hiatus hernia.I must say my training about 175 miles on the turbo on the lawn,does not prepare you for the stop starts ups and downs of a proper road.I did struggle on some of the short 20 mile rides,the best ride was the Leeds and Liverpool canal tow path ride with my daughter,no trouble on that.But the others put me out,gasping and thumping head.I have to see Cardiology in three weeks or so.But i always sit winter out so i will be 77 in February and i think getting fit in 2027 will be too much.It's been great but we all retire in the end.I have told my son because i have taken off my name decals off the frame and i asked him if i could buy him some so he could 'claim' the bike.I started cycling during my divorce to fill in the empty lonely hours,i formed a works team and did sponsored bike rides,Ten years we were together and donated £14,000 over those ten years,got our mugs in the morning Yorkshire Post once.I have been to and seen some fabulous places Langstrothdale being my very favourite,well i have the photos and memories,i also think i have a bit of depression because of the home circumstances i hate to say that.Anyway i will stay on here as a non cycling member.
