Happy Thanksgiving (in advance) to all my Strava and bike riding friends! 🤣
At 75, I'm still riding about 1.3 hours a day. My cut off point in the winter is 38 F.
That's in addition to walking for about an hour and rowing for 30 mins.
Movement is medicine!! You rest you rust!

What a way to celebrate my half-birthday (turned 75 on May 9) — an early morning row… in a T-shirt… in November!
Proof that movement is medicine — because when you rest, you rust.
Get out there, move a little, and celebrate your next half-birthday in motion!
