It was a cool, cloudy, almost raining morning, which made for perfect biking weather. Took a greenway about half the distance, which just added to the fun. The assistant took my blood pressure and noted that it was higher than it has been. When the doctor came in, he looked a bit concerned. I explained I'd riden over, and he softened somewhat, but then re-took it and the lower number was down by about 20 points, and he was a good bit happier. Then he gave me a gold star for the day for biking. ;-) It's about 4.5 miles by car. Prolly only 3.5 or 4 on bicycle.</p> I rode to my MD appointment on my bike, rather than taking the car.
