Las Flores - I am slow! I get passed and unable to keep up with those I used to ride with!

Nice work as always John. Loved the opening. I'd still be taking really easy especially after what you've been through. Great ride my friend. Amazing scenery too. Nothing like that freedom of coasting along is there, just love it. Thanks so much for sharing John 👍🙏

Adrian my friend, thank you! That opening was from the night before in my driveway. I had planned to let it go all night but was having so much trouble, I decided it was better to just go in to sleep and get ready to ride in the morning. I LOVE the view out on a bicycle. So happy just to be out. Thank you Adrian. 🙏🤗

Fantastic views, and epic climbing John!👏👍👌Great job!

[@JonnyPink65]

Thank you Bill!! 🙏 That is a no joke hill. It really did hurt and I was not able to pull the camera out like I used to..... but soon! 🤗

John don't worry about the other guys passing you by . Remember your still recovering. But don't worry you'll be back in the fast lane . So right enjoy the scenery and enjoy life in the slow lane and thanks for sharing

[@JonnyPink65]

Carlos, thank you. 🙏 It was the conversation I was trying to have at the TOP of Schuren with one of my friends from Domestique Cycles that made me realize I still have recovering to do. I had to drop back, but that just means push harder on the trainer in the mornings. Plus, Las Flores was never easy but I will say I am proud of myself for not stopping or giving up. That has never been my nature anyway. And yes, I do appreciate the views and being able to share even more than before, so thank you again. 🤗💖

You might think you were slow but most people could not do what you just done and that includes cyclist and I enjoyed it .

[@JonnyPink65]

Brian, thank you. 🙏 Since my crash, I am just happy to be out and I appreciate every single pedal stroke. I no longer turn myslef inside out to chase or feel bad when I get passed. I realized when I was almost at the top, and was trying to keep up with one of the guys you see at the top as we were talking. I am still in recovery mode and was having trouble so I dropped back. I will always push myself but I realize that the crash really took a lot out of me strength wise, but increased my appreciation of everything - especially riding - that much more. Right now, I just want a bit more power so I can travel and climb the hills I did without too much trouble. The other thing is I still get to share the views I LOVE so much - that is worth it. Thank YOU🙏 for letting me share. 🤗💖

[@mogins1]

I still enjoy your video, and by the way I see more cars that overtake you than bikers.

[@JonnyPink65]

Mogins!!! I don't show those, just the cars for effect. I LOVE to be out. James might ride with us when we do camp 9! Email me. 🙏🤗
