Riding to South Pointe Pier

Riding to South Pointe Pier

I started at Hollywood Beach and pedalled until land ran out at South Pointe Park Pier.  I stayed as close to the beachs as possible, but had to get on A1A for some of the ride.  This took me through Hallandale, Haulover Beach,  Golden Beach, Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, North Miami Beach, Bay Harbour Islands,  Surfside, South Beach, and South Pointe Pier.   I took a few pictures along the way.

Century Ride

Century Ride

Today I bicycled 100 miles. It’s the first time I’ve done that since 1996 – 18 years ago. After being diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, I had convinced myself that I would never do a century again. But over 2 years ago, I started listening to the nutritional advice of Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Dean Ornish, John McDougall, T. Colin Campbell, Jeff Novick, and others with a similar message. With their advice, I lost a ton of weight and my lab values normalized. I no longer have chest pains or shortness of breath, something I had even after earlier conventional treatment.

After my 60th birthday in October, I began to think a century ride might be possible.
