Not to mention increasingly expensive and invasive. The takehome message I got from my PCP was basically that there are a lot of things I COULD do, but mostly not worth bothering. She confirmed I have a heart murmur. Then again, in the monthly Siblings Zoom Call with the 5 other Smith Kids, I learned that Dad had a heart murmur, too. Didn't seem to bother him during his 100 3/4 years.

I got a nice cycling related bday gift from my BiL/SiL. Will post pics when I get home in a few hours. Still in NJ.
Any guesses??
Hint: DougRNS would approve, I believe.

I saw my PCP yesterday about the irregular heartbeats.. Had an EKG, but of course, it's like when you take your car to the mechanic for the funny noise, and it won't make that noise. She said she saw no reason to be concerned, get an echo cardiogram, keep exercising, etc. Pretty much what I expected, but of course I'd worried that she'd listen to my heart, or look at the EKG, and say, "Holy crap!". An irrational fear, to be sure.
So I rode hard on Zwift last night to celebrate.

I did another club ride today. About 20 started on the medium (65 miles) route but we split early when the first hills came. I was feeling weak so I was between groups for a while but when they stopped to wait for everyone to get back on, I took off by myself and felt a lot better after riding at my own pace for a while. They gave up on the second group so the rest of us stayed together until the end.
It was a beautiful day. High of about 65, clouds moving around, and a little wind. The hills are so green right now and there are tons of mustard flowers. I wish I had some pics.
This is what they look like.

Racing on dirt is nonsense. I need more practice on that crap.

My sinuses are killing me which also means my teeth are killing me, too. Been going on awhile. Getting tiresome.

May get rain in a bit here in Lewes, DE. Shame. I’m enjoying reading by the fire.
