So lots of walking! I知 in West Texas. Perfectly normal to hit 50 degree (F) highs mid winter. We walk all through the winter, just later in the day. I致e been walking first two since adopted (#1 2015, #2 2017), increasing distance over time. Not near as aerobic as the biking, but enough to make me sweat and get the heart rate up. Plus if I知 really adventurous, #2 will run with me any distance I like and I知 strong enough to control his speed on leash. And I think I値l be able to out a couple times a week on the bike to at least maintain.

Should have mentioned above, first two stents were 2010 @ 52, third was 2013 @ 55. So I致e been exercising regularly post surgery a while, mostly walking. The bike is a great change of pace, just wanted to explain why I知 okay with shorter distances. I shoot for 30 minute minimum and if I知 feeling good at that point, 10 miles is my goal. I知 still acclimating to bike, trying to find right seat fore/aft and preventing hand numbness around the 6-7 mile mark (without constantly lifting them off the bars).

I do absolutely appreciate the support!
