That looks like a great event! That would be motivating for sure.
Recharge for me this afternoon. I was suppose to run, but the rain has come.

90 minutes spinning tonight, it was a good class! Tomorrow night will be trainer time!
Not feeling it today. Cramps (menstrual, not leg). Struggled. Oh well. Some days are tough.
This is a relatively easy weekend ride-wise, so that's good. Except for that Trinity grade/Spring Mountain ride Sunday. :rolleyes: But it's less than 100 miles, so all things are relative. :D
I hope you have decent weather.
Veronica
I hope so, too. Saturday is MTB so it doesn't matter - Sunday will be the real ride. While I don't relish the idea of descending the back side of Trinity in the rain (and heavy rain will apparently cancel this it as it is a club ride), I am actually really excited to finally USE the full fenders on my Volagi! :D I put them on the one day in December we had a little rain and then it stopped raining completely. :rolleyes: I truly think I caused the drought.
Did an hour of brisk walking on the dread-mill today (cross-training). Can you feel my joy just free flowing out of that last sentance?:rolleyes: NOT! lol. Unfortunately I can't do any impactive sports, so no running. But grateful pedaling is not that;). Anyrate, didn't record it in the log, but will record this (see below) after I teach it in one of my Spinning classes...
Chris Carmichael's Weight-Loss Workout
This one-hour workout delivers the double whammy of torching calories and building high-end aerobic power you can put to good use the rest of the season. It's strenuous, so do it a maximum of three times a week to allow for adequate recovery and best results.
6 minute: warmup
1 min.: fast pedal, spinning a light gear as fast as you can
1 min.: recovery spinning
1 min.: fast pedal
1 min.: recovery spinning
5x2 min. at maximum intensity, with 2 min. recovery spinning between each
6 min.: recovery spinning
5x2 min. at maximum intensity, with
2 min. recovery spinning between each
8 min.: cooldown
Total time: 60 min.
The work-out is an interval based ride that's also a good way to mix things up even if your goal is not weight loss (as the title holds). Simple, yet very effective. That's my favorite. Just thought I would share.
:)
Wow- thanks- good timing- it is 37 and raining so indoors today! This is different than the intervals I have been doing- shorter and more of them (:Quote:

I know it's late in the month, but I think this will help motivate me to get back in the saddle. My goal is to try 10 hrs a week (outdoor/indoor).
Did Dropping the Hammer today - love that video! I am drenched. :p

So, after not doing anything for a long while (homework, bike-in-shop and being tired/a bum), I did half an hour on the trainer. I had to take a break to cool down because I was getting uncomfortable. I really need to get that fan back from my sister.
About an hour of Hillacious yestday and 1:20 of an Aero Base Builder today. I should be able to make my goal. :)
Neck is complaining today, so went hiking instead of hitting the trainer. I had hoped to ride outside today since it is so warm, but there are too many slick spots and snow patches on the pavement...
