I have been turning up the dial on the weekend rides. My goal is to get out once every weekend until spring arrives. I am three weeks into it and not minding the cool weather grinds. Last Saturday I rode my 17 mile loop with the Zion SS. It is relativly flat, but the whole trail was snow covered. It ended up being a good workout. This weekend should see different conditions with the short thaw this week.
I am down in St. Louis and it is going to be 75 degrees today. Not a bad little break from the cold and snow.
Downhill skied with Max on Sunday, and the week before as well. Seems like good cross training, but the hills in Minnesota are pretty short. I can't really get the legs burning with such a short run. Max has discovered the art of bombing down the hill at full tilt. He a little speed freak. Josh is learning to snowboard...
Cool! Congrats on blowing the dust off the blog too! Good to hear you're getting out on the bike. I'm hoping to ride home a few times a week and get some longer rides in on the weekends too. Maybe we'll have to get together to do a little road ride one of these days somewhere between the two of us!
ReplyDeleteI am tapering for the spring season. I don't want to overtrain. ;)
