So I hear you have been outside for a workout. I know, believe it or not. I actually went outside for a bike ride. It was about a week ago. So I was, I was planning usually on Sundays. The pool closes, oh gosh, at 2. 1.30. So you just- I'm like, you know what? It is beautiful outside. I want to go ride my bike outside. That's what I want to do. I want to be in fresh air. I want to. So Grant has been riding his bike outside a lot on the weekends. He's training to be to be to be. So he's building up his aerobic base on his bike. So I knew that like it was fine to ride.

1:14.6

gear you've got to put on in the winter time to stay warm. So it's like it's like sleeves,
