Done yesterday (20100412 Mo)
0412 Mo
* BPH?; nightmares; awake 5:30; doze
% odd dream, which I actually remember parts of. Some kind of large
training session run by (new grandboss) P, in some kind of castle-like
building. I'd been away the previous week so didn't know what was
supposed to be happening. At one point Albert Einstein led me through a
tunnel to his old neighborhood, where he abandoned me. Somehow found
myself back at the training session, using the men's room. At which point
I woke up abruptly, very afraid that I'd wet the bed. I hadn't.
* up 7:00; W=199; drugs, nose, teeth
* No school for the YD this week (except Saturday at JRP)
@ Would fees end 'out of control' carry-ons? - CNN.com
% (from yesterday) mostly what I remember of bicycling is being cold, wet,
worn-out, miserable, and in pain. No wonder I never got back to it after
my knees started giving me trouble.

Amazingly, I finished my taxes yesterday, and e-filed them a few
minutes after midnight. This makes me feel very much better, and reasonably
pleased with myself. I still have to do chaoswolf's, but
that'll be trivial.
I remembered my dream from the night before, probably because I woke up very abruptly.
Interesting insight of the day: I know intellectually that I enjoyed riding my bicycle, but what I actually remember is being cold, wet, tired, miserable, and in pain. (Or various subsets of these.) Guess it's not really all that surprising that I don't ride anymore; I may want to reconsider. It probably applies to some other things, too.
Spent most of my time at work setting up the new Mac mini, which I've
named whitewood after Whitewood Creek in the Black Hills of South Dakota -- most of our
machines are named after rivers. I also spent some time preparing to move
my desktop from the ageing Dell to a nice, quiet Shuttle box that
currently houses a server called nile. I love Linux's
ability to multi-home network interfaces, and also the wonderful
x2vnc, which lets me move the mouse and keyboard seamlessly
between a Linux box and a Mac.
I've already raised the signal on the most important links.

If that is what you remember, that is probably what you felt, and maybe walking is a better match for you. Getting started again would probably require some caution and a slow buildup to avoid injuries, and it would still probably leave you pretty sore at first. On the other hand, it might work out well, and the only way to find out is to try.
Personally, I have always enjoyed riding, and I particularly value it now because cycling seems to be one physical activity that is nearly unaffected by the general creakiness of my aging body. But then, I never stopped for any great length of time.
