I would comment here, but it would only serve to duplicate what you’ve already done……Love it!

I cannot tell you how badly I long for the day when I can do this. I know it is the topic of many other excellent blogs about life and choices and I admire you and your wife for how you guys have nailed it. For me, I made the bed I sleep in, and at the moment it does not allow me the opportunity for that Monday morning ride. But Someday! Not to far away, I will. and it will be AWESOME.

Have a great week!

What a great concept. You read all about these detox programs and clenses, but I agree that the bike or any type of fitness is the best way to get your body feeling great. Nice post, Darryl.

Ha, I love it. I could use a little bike detox today myself. Unfortunately it is way too cold for me to get outside today but I will get on the trainer for some detoxing.

Great question, Shawn…not sure how I missed putting information like that into this post. I think it is more of an individualized thing and you have to find what type of “bike detox” works best for you.

If I really had a huge binge out and am not feeling great then I’ll go out for an easyish to mid level ride of at least an hour. If it wasn’t too bad of a binge out then my detox ride can range from one to two hours at a mid level pace…sometimes harder.

The most important thing is getting my body functioning properly again….as well as my mind. I honestly feel that having the body you want is part physical and part mental. I should really post more on the mental aspects sometimes, but if you ever have any questions be sure to ask.
