Still Riding and Still Breathing

I am continuing to ride my bike downtown to catch the bus to work. I am continuing to struggle on the hills. I am on drugs that prevent my heart rate from getting too high. Consequently, when I do exert myself, I tire out quickly because my heart is not speeding up to compensate for the activity.

This morning, my hill climb was brutal. Once I got to the top of the hill, it's pretty much down hill the rest of the way and I need it. It takes three minutes to get my breathing under control.

The street in front of the STA Plaza is torn up as are the side walks. The city is doing some work on the street so STA decided to do some work on their sidewalks, which are about 25 years old. That is ancient in Sidewalk years.

It's a mess but it cuts down on traffic down there.
