Recycle
(to cycle once again)
Hi.
We are Larry and Mary Lynn, a couple in our 60s, and this web site is about our rediscovery of bicycling.
The site has the log of our Grand Illinois Trail Adventure, a 585 mile bicycle tour that we made in day trips and overnights between 3/19/2006 and 11/26/2006.
Personal Background
Years ago we were involved in all sorts of outdoor activities,from bicycling, to rock climbing,to cross country skiing.
At about age 45, I developed rheumatoid arthritis. Joint damage and a limited range of motion lead to inactivity, and a lot of weight gain. In June of 2005 Mary Lynn and I decided that we owed it to eachother to start exercising and to get fit again.
We looked for an activity which we could enjoy together, was easy on joints, took us outdoors, and could continue into our retirement years. Cycling fit the bill perfectly, so it was back to the bikes. We bought a couple of Giant hybrids, climbed on bikes for the first time in 20 years, and hit the local bike trails.
