geese_0649.jpg (2512300 bytes) 4/19 -- We have been back on the Mainland for a couple of weeks or so and my weight jumped up 5 lbs from day one. I ate over the Pacific Ocean, California, Georgia, all the way until we landed in Virginia. Catching up with friends and family over dinner and margaritas hasn't helped the situation either. The final nail in the coffin have been my knees. Kiteboarding reeked havoc on them. 2 hours 3 to 5 times a week bouncing over choppy water took its' toll. Until, I realized bike riding made them feel better. Woo Hoo!

We got out for a couple of trial rides, normally two, John then looks at me and says, lets do the downtown loop next time. I love to exercise, I always agree, I ride the 20-mile loop with him and hobble around the house for two days. With my weight climbing into the stratosphere, I was happy to hear those words this time.

Part of the ride entails Belle Isle. John is crossing the Southside Bridge entrance in the left photo.
