I spent alot of time on my bike. Need to do some weight lifting and maybe try a spin class this winter. My biggest issue with being over the age of 50 - is lack of training buddies, DGF doesn't share my 'exercise' enjoyment. Anyone else with the same problem of lack of exercising buddies? Any suggestions?
wow can I relate! I love to Mountain bike- but my main "riding buddies" are my teen sons- love them- but they are so far ahead of me technically it is demoralizing! I do enjoy keeping up with them climbing..........The few women I have connected with that want to ride have a totally different schedule than I do, (they are younger with no teenagers) so I ride solo often..........
