Also started running up and down the stairs (with a weird schedule like mine it can be tricky).

I think I'll have to look for a cycling/workout buddy in L.A. when we move their next year.

I discovered my passion for cycling last year while trying to rehab a knee. It was easier to ride a bike than it was to walk, because of not having a lot of cartilage left in that knee. I have come along rather slowly, but I am getting there. I can tell that I am stronger than I was at the beginning of spring, so that does feel good! I can thank Shad for helping me discover my passion for cycling (road and mountain).

As Shad said, if you ever make it this way be sure to bring your bike...LOL
