We're all so busy!

       Even I get busy and hardly have time for any recreation, but that's why I started cycling. Yesterday I got so wrapped up reading that I nearly forgot to go see a movie.   I had to get out quick and hop on the Buena Vista

to get to the theater on time.  I made it.  It was only a three mile ride which doesn't amount to much and I took a side route home to pick up a few things at the store.  So only seven miles round trip and I had time to feed the cats, fix myself a burger and relax a few minutes before going to a monthly bike club meeting at a local bar.  That's another 10 miles round trip and I got a little endorphin lift in the middle of my day.  

      I didn't set aside any time, just went where I needed to be, in regular clothes, and had a little fun and sunshine in the process.   Recently a club rider, who meticulously tracks his mileage, heart rate, calories and (of course) speed asked me if I "classified" those as "junk" miles?    I said no, the junk miles are the ones spent in the car driving somewhere to ride.
