Let the Training Season Begin!!!
Before I begin this post, I would like to quickly sum up the totality of my winter riding experience with this photo: Snowy, cold, deserted. At least that's how I felt. In all fairness there were other bikers, although now that the sun is out and it's above 10 degrees (50 f), all the fair weather riders are back out - as a side note, they are slow and inconsiderate. So for the winter season, from about late October to Mid-March (when it was still -10 outside), my final recorded stats are: Distance: 2156 km Total time spent being cold on the bike: 114 hours Number of rides: 208 This includes a fair amount of snow and ice riding. Brrrr. Glad that's in the past, and I won't think about it again until I am somehow surprised by it next year. Also, regarding speed, that is slightly less than my trip to Odessa in about 1/5th of the time. Bleh. Staying in shape while not biking I kept myself in shape by a rigorous P90x routine and, when traveling, Insanity. Thi
