Ed: Sorry to hear your ailments are limiting your activities. I suspect we have a quorum of old guys in the forum who can catalog their glass ankles, rotator cuffs, sleep apnea, fading eyesight, bad knees, diminished hearing, etc. -- and that's just me! A good friend says "Old age is not for the faint of heart." Inevitable, probably, but certainly working your medical providers to refer you to physical or occupational therapy when available. I've had OTs come up with some good adaptations over the years. I hope you can find some accommodations that will let you continue to cycle. A number of friends have moved from road bikes to slower-speed trekking and even upright cruisers, "don't go too fast, but they go pretty far." I live near the foothills to the White Mountains, and swear some of my short rides are more vertical than horizontal, but I enjoy getting out and getting some fresh air and rubber-necking. Also, I don't know if there's anything local, but another friend, a well-known long-distance runner, is enjoying swimming as fitness exercise. Worth considering. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4ses43km33ovanfu32yjtzzn4sx-nwxya-_vy8rsue...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
