Almost 5 years ago would make me 48 years old. The crazy exercise thing I remember doing back then was riding a bicycle from Coon Rapids to Cambridge, a distance of 27 miles. Visited the daughter for 3 hours. Then rode my bicycle back from Cambridge to Coon Rapids, another 27 miles. I figured if any of my grandkids grew up to be sports nuts, they could bicycle the same route long after I am gone. I only had three grandkids back then. Now I am up to seven grandkids with another on the way.
Ten miles from Cambridge, my daughter pulled up beside me asking what I am doing. I said I am on my way to visit her in Cambridge. She asked do I want a lift, I said heck no. I am doing this come heck or high water. It was a mountain bicycle, so not very fast with the wide tires. Had bought a new sprocket, some new handle bars for long distance riding, and a water holder, to hold my Diet Mountain Dew bottle. Loads of dead animals in the ditches. Funny in a car I never noticed many dead animals save a deer here and there and ocassional possum.
