TE December Indoor Cycling Challenge

[grey]

I'm in. I just managed an hour on the trainer. I have the Krietler killer headwind version - I actually like it - got it for $20 from a cycling friend who termed it "brutal" and said it sat in his basement for years. Think it's really good for me. Out here it's very hilly/mountainous, so it's more like interval training where you push hard up the hill/mountain and then rest on the way down. The trainer is great for increasing the endurance to pedal all the time. I might come out of winter a bit stronger than going in.

My three dogs are hilarious though - the oldest (10) barks at me until I tell her to shush, so she leaves the room entirely. The other two just watch me with worried expressions.

My goal is an hour or more per day.

I'm planning on doing the lord of the rings trilogy this month. And I'm hooked on Lost (on netflix). I have plenty of trainer riding material!

I'd like to join. I do 3 coached sessions a week at a cycling studio, though I'll be gone for a week over the holidays. Maybe I can find a gym in upstate NY (where my Dad lives) to stay moving the week I'm there....

Ok, it's the 30th of November and I officially start tomorrow, this evening is set aside to put the trainer tire on my old bike and set up the trainer so I'll be good to go. Just in time, we were greated with our first real snowfall of the year this morning. Sloppy streets = me indoor riding. Wimpy me.
