I agree with him too! I'm pretty much doing what he says.
Riding my bicycle has been a Godsend for me. I started riding in May of 2009, and have progressed with longer and longer rides until I basically became an endurance athlete. This is the second year in a row that I did the Hotter 'N Hell 100. And again, same as last year, I did stop at the beer joint at mile 98 for free beers and hotlinks!
Well, despite your 'near miss', I hope riding is as medicinal for you as it is for me.
