Well, so this is my 9th year riding in the challenge. I remember when I started, i used to ride a lot more frequently than I do now. Plus, I was a little younger. I have noticed a drop in my riding since covid, I had it and sometimes wondered if it affected me more than I thought. Anyway, since then, I have found it harder to ride but pressed on.
Last year, I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had surgery in October. I have found out I need to rebuild my strength.
