Happy New Year! 2010 Will Be a Great Year!

To repeat what I wrote at my web site . . .

I'm looking forward to this new year. I want to ride, I want to lose weight, I want to get back in shape, and I want to stay fit and healthy. A big order I know but I have a plan for achieving my goals.

First, I volunteered to lead rides for my bike club's "Series Training Rides". These will be weekend rides that the club will be offering this spring and summer to help cyclists prepare for major rides this year. The Ride Series begins in March and will continue every weekend through mid July. Now I won't have an excuse not to ride on the weekend because I will be leading the ride. I will also go to the gym after work on the weekdays with my daughter. And when the weather begins to get nicer and the days longer I will start to do my after work rides. Mix it up, a day at the gym to work on core and strength then a day of riding out doors to get a good cardio workout.

My list of rides that I plan to participate in (this list will probably grow). :)

  • Daffodil Classic April 18, 2010
  • Peninsula Metric June 6, 2010
  • Seattle to Portland July 17, 2010
  • RAMROD July 29, 2010 (by lottery . . . I may not get to ride this one)
  • Crater Lake Century August 14, 2010

Not going to be a ride leader for these rides but I will be riding them. I have some pretty big rides I want to do this summer and this training series is just the thing to get me in shape for them! :)
