Biking update #3

Despite cold weather I decided to bike 6 miles on Thursday night.  It was mighty cold, but I was able to listen to half of an amazing shiur (lecture) by Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, from Woodmere, NY.  The shiur, "Chizuk For Parents Who Are Raising Hashem's Children" is available for free by clicking here.  I'm looking forward to finishing the shiur and riding more, weather permitting after Shabbos.

Biking update #2

Despite really cold and windy weather in Chicago on Sunday (a high of 50 degrees), I was able to get a family bike ride. It was only five miles, but we had a good time. We followed a bike path from Peterson Ave that goes south along the Chicago river. We ended up at River Park, played for a while, then rode back to watch our son's first little league baseball game of the season.

First bike ride of the season

Wednesday night my friend, and biking partner, Kenny called me to see if I'd go biking with him. It was my first official ride of the season.

The weather was great as we biked on Mc Cormick from Devon to Golf (a total of eight miles). While biking I listened to a very interesting lecture given by a friend, Rabbi Mordechai Torczyner, who heads the learning program for the YU Kollel in Toronto.

It felt great to be biking again.  Aside from helping me clear my mind, it was was good to get some exercise that doesn't involve Wii Fit.  I'm looking forward to riding again over the weekend.

Thanks for your support and taking time to read this.
