hmmmm, watch my longer rides increase in frequency now
Yep, my comment has probably made you into an exercise animal! Next thing we know, you will be winning the national mountain bike competition!

Didn't realize you had had problems with diabetes. That is a bit scary - I can definitely understand you wanting to be careful with things like ice cream!

I've always been kind of lucky with what I eat; I have a fairly high metabolism and if eaten in moderation, I can have things like ice cream and cookies and they don't seem to bother me (blood sugar or cholesterol). So far so good. I do struggle with the little bit of extra fat around the middle that most of women over 50 struggle with, but all in all am doing well so far.

Keep up the good work with your fight against diabetes; that is impressive!
