Every day is leg day

I bike to work and bike back from work and my legs are getting much stronger.  By how much, I have no idea but now I think it's time I start to review what can be done for my upper body.  

Wish I knew more people that ride to work and see what they do.  I've gone down this path before where I start working on one area and then suddenly I'm doing so much stuff to get better, such as colon blower, work outs, eating piles vegetables and then suddenly crash.  Everything stops.

Lessons Learned: 

  • Bike is a great cardio work out
  • Find the balance between enjoying the ride and working out

  1. Working core is great cross training for a cyclist.

    I'm a bit worried about the winter setting in and getting lazy. I have a stationary bike, thinking about getting a trainer and a roller as well. Or talk my wife into letting me get a fat bike to ride in the winter.

    You going to ride all winter to work?

  2. I plan on driving to work as long as I can. NCC doesn't plow the bike paths in the winter but I have a slightly longer route already picked out.

    Problem is, my bike just had a catastrophic failure and I'm now with out rear wheel for a little while. Parts have been ordered to get me back up and running.
