    It Wasn’t A Cold And Dry Cycle Ride | It Wasn’t Healthy Either | Road Ride | Cycling Couple



    The day was set to be perfect for cycling, with a cold but dry afternoon forecast. However, sleet and rain causes us to cut our ride short! Not only did we cut the ride short but we stopped for cake and coffee, reducing any health or fitness benefits too.

      Remission!!! You rock! You ring the bell. Mike and julie thank you for another great ride. Dark 7 degrees snow, ice and worse is salt on the ground here in America. You make time on the trainer much better. Mike love the long solo early am rides. Bunkie

      Great news about the blood test and being in remission Julie! You kicked its arse good and proper!
      Oh the Met Office… I do think by trying be more accurate they're actually making things worse! I look at the forecast for my postcode, and the two hourly intervals, and reality is so often different to what they say it should be. Back when they were a bit vaguer you didn't notice so much as they would forecast with a much broader brush as it were. Mind you, from someone on Cycle Chat forum who commutes from home to his work by bicycle in Exeter, and works close to the Met Office building, they often don't know what is going on outside their own windows! It seems it's a case of 'this computer cost millions of pounds, if it says it dry, it's dry…' even if it's pouring out! 🤣
      As ever – good ride! (if a slightly cold and damp looking one…)

      Congratulations on Julie's remission. Very happy for you. Looks chilly out there for you. Minus 3 degrees here, that's minus 19 degrees Celsius in the civilized part of the world. No bike riding here… at least for the sane people

      YeeHaa Julie, great news about your blood tests. This damp cold weather takes its toll and energy disappears, so you are not alone. What Randonneur’ are you doing in May?
      I hope to be down your way doing the Garmin Ride Out on the 31st May in aid of Action Medical Research.

      Fantastic news about being in remission, Julie. Positive attitude and underlying fitness will certainly have helped your recovery. I hope you had a celebratory 'yee haa'. When I was told my tumour was benign, I stood in the hospital car park and screamed a massive yessssss. Trust you didn't have any after effects from the chilly ride.

      So pleased Julie that you’re officially in remission. Today, I did my first ride in 7 months. I had the all clear telling me the blood clots have gone yesterday. I can tell you it was much warmer here in Sydney than you rode in here. Those cafe snacks looked delicious and well, if you can’t eat treats like that after exerting on a bike, when can you?

      Mike, remember this and look forward to increasing resilience from Julie. I think you’ve been hardened a little more by your morning fitness rides and it’s clearly paying off.
