The spirit is willing ... but the flesh is weak
Saturday March 10, 2018
I've planned such lovely rides for the challenge. I've pondered oh so many clever titles for the journal. I even have a theme. But perhaps things won't go as planned. To start with I am just recovering from a bad case of bronchitis, but I expect I will eventually stop coughing. So let's call that a minor obstacle.
During the winter I have had some other health issues but I am hoping very much that I'll be feeling well enough for not too ambitious rides - and what do I have an e-bike for anyway. I don't want to go on and on about old fogy health problems, but for those who are interested, atrial fibrillation is the issue and it seems to be the cause for my shortness of breath. Otherwise I feel fine. I just have to go slow, even on an e-bike.
So what was my first ride? No, I'm not going to count it as a ride, it's just my first cycling and it happens to be the first day of the challenge. I rode my bike to the German Heart Center, the Deutsches Herzzentrum, and returned the monitor recording a three-day ECG. I'll keep you posted when there are results.

The German Heart Center Munich
For the challenge I have planned to show you some of the areas surrounding Munich. So as not to waste all my km's on the ride out of town and back I will use the Munich public transportation system called the S-Bahn or city trains and cycle from one line to another, train to train, and eventually if all goes well I will have circled around Munich in seven rides.
The trains lines extend in all directions from the Main Train Station.
For us it is only a 10-minute ride to the station.
If all goes well. I have no idea if I will complete or even start on this theme. Will I be feeling well enough tomorrow to take advantage of the good weather that has been predicted? We are expecting temperatures to reach an unbelievable 15°C/59°F!
