We had a fun time of it last Sunday. Spinning is such a great way to prepare till the weather warms up. I also take body pump about 2-3 time per week to get some added strength and of course, work those abs, obliques, back muscles. The DC ride looks like alot of fun, very scenic.
My big question is do I carry water on my bike or get a camel back?
Jen - I'm doing the MS150 in Charlottesville also (the "Tour de Vine" http://main.nationalmssociety.org/si...E_VAB_homepage .) It's a GREAT ride - lots of fun. You'll be glad you made the trek down to participate in this one. Hope to see you there!
