June Newsletter  
May was National Bike Month. I didn't have a goal of riding my bike everywhere. But I decided to use my bike more. I rode to work a few times, rode to dinner with some friends, and rode to a doctor's appointment or two. It was more commuting on the bike than I am used to. It was very rewarding and made me think about how I use my car and whether it is necessary.

If I'm riding somewhere, there are different considerations to make when I am driving. I assess how much I can take with me. I consider a safe route and make sure I get there on time. It is not hard, just different. In exchange for thinking about my commute, I get to enjoy the peacefulness of arriving by bike. The rat race slows down a bit and the world is a little more serene.

I've decided to keep riding to work once a week. I want to use my bike more for the recreational events and not just exercise. Hopefully, I will get to take a little more of that peaceful feeling with me everyday.

Out riding with you all, 
 

Anne

  • While Exercising: Plan to drink 10 ounces of water every 15 minutes during your workout.
  • After Exercising: Weigh yourself prior to exercising and again afterward. Note the difference and replace the lost fluid with water with a formula of 20 ounces for every pound lost. If you experience a dry mouth, felling of thirst or dark urine, increase your water intake accordingly.
