Is Osteo-Arthritis ruining your life? |

2010 is going to be an eventful year as I am now in the Category 4 grouping, which means I will be entering races. So watch this space - it could get interesting... Age and infirmity doesn’t have to stop you doing what you want. It can be difficult at times and maybe there are days when you don’t feel like doing anything, but force yourself, it will pay dividends in the end and where there’s a will, there’s always a way.
Get out of the car and on your bike – or at least or start walking. Its great fun and good for you. You see more of the countryside and become aware of the local wildlife. I’m lucky living in rural France where the roads are much less busy than in UK and where drivers are used to cyclists allowing them plenty of room. Over here, the roads are closed to traffic for even small club events. Diversions are put in place and gendarme motorcycle outriders are the norm. We really are spoilt and I love it! |

There's a plethora of healthy eating info being pushed out by the UK government, most of which is over the top with messages that change from day to day. Best to eat as healthily as you can, cutting out the fried food, huge meals and all that grazing in between. Try grilling meat, steaming fish and vegetables and use smaller portions. If you have the time, eat six small meals a day as this doesn’t overload the system and keeps a consistent flow of nutrients to the body.
Please don't forget the helmet. Your head is far more delicate than the road! To follow my progress, go to the Latest Rides page. |

I am trying to practice what I preach, and am first to admit that it is difficult, especially when you have friends round for a meal or staying with you, but providing you are active, it doesn’t do too much harm to pig out occasionally. If you become a bit more active, a little of what you fancy can do no harm. This site isn't called winerider.com for nothing!
