John,
Hey what do doctors know anyway. He could have asked for those "other" tests like I had this summer
. At your age, heck at my age or most our ages... riding a bike is a veeery good thing, and benefits our health greatly.I would like to see my doc ride 60 miles. His heart would explode in two minutes!
Keep on crankin
Richard

Hey John,
A second thought. Remember when we had the nurse take our BPs right off the bike. There were several of us. If I remember, yours was a bit low.

My family, except my brother who has a PHD, has a history of low blood pressure.

My pressure was 130/80 and stayed that way through the test. I think the doctor just didn't like the heat or bikers who ride in it.

And he has a point. If we're just doing this for fitness, there is a point of diminishing returns. I was thinking that while Peggy, Steve, and I were doing a 200k brevet on a 107 degree day. But it is fun to challenge ourselves.
