Even over 60 minutes riding got hard?!

Maybe the temperature got too warm or the wind was blowing too much pushing feathery seeds flying in the air?  Or my itchy eyes and nose dragged me down?

Today's 60 minute ride was awfully exhausting.  Afterwards pains came out all over my body.  Shoulders, arms, thighs and back.... 😭

Riding in late afternoon is not good for us.  
So many things I wanted to finish today, and riding was at the end. 
Morning ride might be better, I wonder.😔
 
Warm weather is nice, but hay fever season is not welcome!😱

Luckily it will rain tomorrow.  Hope all the pollen will be washed away.

Feel bad about myself

Skipped riding again..  Unlike gardening, I just can't ride when I feel tired or week.  Of course if I lose my balance, it will be a disaster on the road.  I don't want to get hurt.

On the other hand, I might have felt better if I rode.   Frustrating....

Hope I will be able to get to sleep soon tonight.

Oh, before going to bed, at least I will have some exercise.  Yes, at least...

Temptation toy

Hate to bring up the same subject, but allergy symptoms have occupied our bodies this year.  We're still struggling not only physically but also mentally.  And mentally I lost.  I depressed down to h....

Worse thing is the same kind of terrible pain came back as I got on my right knee 4 years ago after I fell from my brand new bicycle and the handle dropped on my knee.   Recently I found the right leg is 1/4'' shorter than left one.  So I put sponge in my shoe to cover the sole of my right foot.  Seems better.

Only sticky allergy invasion made my hearing ability worse. agrrrr....

Luckily, a deliverer came earlier than we expected.  We purchased a bicycle camera which is cheaper than GoPro.

DBpower  sj4000

First we put it on the handlebar to try out.  That sent too much vibration to the screen.  

So we put it on the helmet.  

Luckily two camera holders for helmets were included, so we could switch it between us.  That's very handy.  We tried using it in our neighborhood riding.  The video came out very nice.

We just need to look above our heads ahead of time so as not to crash the tree branch hanging.

I hope my plugged ears will clear out soon and my physical strength will come back, so I can go do some trail riding again.

Allergy symptoms drag us down.

Runny nose came out like heavy rain on our body.  Sneezing all day.  Ear ringing started.  Low and high sounds.  Then, ear tube got plugged.  We felt sick.

Usually we can get rid of it by sleeping extra.  This time didn't work.  8 hours, 10 hours...  We got small back pains.

Finally gave up, and push ourselves a little bit to ride last Monday.  We could ride over 10 miles!  But we got really tired...
But we rode next day again.

So we had to rest today.  We just did gardening a little bit.

Hope we will be better more tomorrow.
