bike riding - Steve

[Guest guest]

Hi Steve

I used to ride my 10speed everywhere until about 2 years ago.

I have rode a bike my whole life pretty much.

I love it - what meditation....that and music.

But I quit riding 2 years ago and have been sitting on my butt getting weak.

Now Im afraid of a heart attack.

God, I miss riding my bike.

Keep riding as long as you can, my friend.

There is no better exercise in the world for mind and body.

love

don in ks

I've been doing some research and am finding much about AST/ALT ratios > 1. This usually indicates liver problems relating to alcohol abuse, My AST/ALT ratio is just the opposite...it's <1 ...about .5..and I'm not finding much info on that scenario.But I could guess all day long...I guess the ultrasound will show what's up..but I feel great...I get up at 3 AM everyday and work at the winery at least 10 hours/day. Last weekend was childless so I went for 3 hour bike rides both days...felt like freekin Lance Armstrong...I guess I better enjoy it, eh?Thanks for listening.>> Steve> > Yup, I can see why your Dr. wants you to go to the next step.

Don,

Sounds like you and I are kindred spirits in a way. Yeah...cycling is the great

way to get in touch w/mind, body, and the spirit that drives us. I had to put it

aside for the past 12 years as I've had joint custody of my daughter...who is

now 12 years old and all of a sudden doesn't want to see me ( another story...)

but I'm taking advantage of the free time and riding my bike...i LOVE it!

I've also played music, guitar, since I was about 11 yo. Heard the Beatles in

'63 (6 yo) and KNEW I had to be a guitar player....another passion that I still

have today...I'm now 53 yo. I'm hoping that 'passion' will help get me through.
