Now now now. I didn’t mention this, but my father was also banned by google. Knowing my father, he was just arguing with people on the internet in youtube videos because he’s old and bored.
He doesn’t write anything inappropriate but he does write what he means. He got google banned and that is when I learned how all encompassing the ban was. I couldn’t do anything for him nor make a new account. All tied to his phone number and personal information. He uses yahoomail now but was very annoyed.
I went out and set myself a new distance record on my bike today, I managed to do 75km and while I certainly look forward to sitting om my arse for the rest of the day I’m not completely worn out nor in any particular pain. Though my hands are a bit sore and are glad to be off the handlebars for now.
3h spent on the bike but I was out for almost 5. First third of the path was along an old railway so while the inclines are very mild they go on for ever, both up and down. Good place to practice finding a pace that you can keep up indefinitely.
2nd third of the tour I found myself on real old country roads, the kind that was once upon a time horse roads so they’re not particularly even as they follow the landscape rather than cut through as roads established in modern times might. Good place for interval exercising, get real winded climbing up and then rest for a minute as you race down the next valley.
