Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Anyone else out there into Mountain Biking? or Road Biking or any other biking? Spring is here and two weekends ago the Amgen Bike Tour was through here - I was so inspired, I got my bike out of the garage, took it in for a tune up, and had a 45 minute ride today. Wow, I had forgotten how a good ride will clean out the cowebs of my brain! Not to mention great cardio. At first I thought " oh this is easy, I haven't forgotten how (lol) until I realized I was riding straight into the winds from the North - and what resistance! April 17 and 18 I plan on going to a Ride at one of the local ranches...therein lies my challenge, I do fine on the road, but hit a rock, and oops...you may be missing a Moderator for a few days LOL Anyway, it was just great to be outdoors, breathing the fresh air and feeling full of hope. It is so great to have my bike tuned and looking almost brand new. What is so wonderful about exercise and me is that I have to be totally present in the moment, even if it is repetitive. In aquatics, I can still do reps and count, but the breathing and cardio circuit is important to follow in steps. With the bike, sure pedaling is repetitive, but the challenge is in the 'elements', wind, rocks, cars, kids, you name it. For the bike fans among our group, I ride a Trek 800. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
