Waynesville, Ohio

Now age 30, with this year having crappy health news from doctors.... (recently found out I have a Bi-Cuspid Aortic Valve in my heart that is now causing MILD Aortic Valve Regurgitation, as well as MILD emphysema), I have decided this is now the time to start doing the thing I love most... RIDING MY BICYCLE! My Bio will explain further.

Profile

From ages 14-21 I rode my bike 15-40 miles everyday. At age 19 I started riding and fell in love with the bike paths from Dayton to Xenia to Yellow Springs. I would find myself making round trips from Dayton to Yellow Springs no less then 3x/week, and many times every day. That was over 60 miles of riding with each trip. At age 21, I moved away from dayton and around 1 hour from any bike path. I stopped riding... I didn't like it, but also didn't want to risk death on 2 lane 55mph country roads. I longed and yearned to be back near the bike path again. Now, 9 years later, that dream has come true. I now live in Waynesville, about 1 mile from the Corwin bike path that leads to Xenia(north) and Morrow(south). Since my cardiologist has told me that I am fully able to do 'anything', and since exercise is the best medicine, I figured might as well do what I love again!
