I have achieved some big life time fitness goals recently!  It all started again when a mate asked me to join him in riding a bike again (meant to be socially)!  It had been 10 years since I last rode and definitely was not on my radar.  I was unfit, not unhealthy, but unfit.  So … Continue reading Helping myself by helping others!
