So frustrated! Dealing with back and hip issues that have me sidelined for the last few months. Going to PT next month, but feel like I've tried everything to no avail. I am not good at taking it easy, so am enjoying seeing the progress of my fellow Luna-Tics as we edge closer to the end of 2023 and the holiday challenge. Keep up the good work! I'm living vicariously through you!

Jodi, I’m so sorry that you are not able to join us with meters in the Holiday Challenge this year. It is frustrating to have the want-to, and not be able to do anything about it!
I have to say that I absolutely love the quote you have in your signature! “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty & well preserved body, rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, used up, totally worn out, & loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
Sending prayers for healing and resolution to your back and hip issues so you can get back in the saddle soon.
☆~Kristine~☆

Getting a good PT person is so helpful in the getting better journey! And that journey can sometimes take longer than we want it to take! Perseverance and a reindeer next year!

Because I'm doing the Holiday Challenge on my BikeErg, half my meters are disappearing into the ether never to be counted - there has to be a better way!
I've got it! In the spirit of the holidays, I hereby bequeath my ethereal Holiday Challenge meters (376,199m as of today) to you so you can vicariously journey with me toward our goal of 500,000m! Also feel free to revel in any reindeer bling our reindeer "Ranger" may acquire along the way.
Best wishes,
"Wild Bill"
ROWSTRONG / RIDESTRONG
Just call me, "Wild Bill"

A vintage VW with a message that resonates with some of us who are vintage people! This orange delight is the company van for The Cheese Importers store in Longmont CO. Great fun to wander around in their ice box section and see what's new to you!
