TE December Indoor Cycling Challenge

Nice job, MP!

Me too. My bike needs a tune-up, and this is the only time I can do it until March. 1 hour on the trainer, and then I'm getting cleaned up and taking her over there.

The shop did my tune-up same day (I'm shocked, since they usually take a week), and now the bike is back home. Yay!

There have been so few opportunities to ride outside that I've been counting them along with the inside rides - so another 35 minutes today. Great ride outside, but my lungs strongly disliked the cold weather

I rode outside for the first time in my life in December, in the Chicago area... I know others do it, but I had not dared before. The temperature was just under 40, with a windchill ~29 degrees, some wind. I managed not to freeze my fingers and toes in a little over 2 hours 20min. I will add that to my total, even though it was outdoors!

It feels very different to ride with the cold, dry air; very tiring but fun to be outside for a change. Maybe I will dare again tomorrow. Brrr.

45 minutes today - 22/24.

Planning a rest day tomorrow. I may end up with only 3 rest days for the month (I had said I could have 4) - but I'm not quite ready to make that call yet.
