Time to Ride

Greetings,

I thought I'd try a new pattern this week and instead of KB workouts every morning, I'd mix in some bike rides between them.  Today was a day to start out with a bike ride.

I have an indoor cycle, a Bladez indoor cycle that resembles the 'spinning' bikes you see in fitness center classes. I have had it for a year now and its been a wonderful bike, with a digital readout and speedometer on it. I can go a lot faster on this bike, compared to my outdoor hybrid and mountain bikes.  Overall I can get more mileage on the indoor bikes, but I like to go with overall time as my main workout gauge.  I feel a 20 minute ride inside feels the same way as a 20 minute ride outside. One reason you can go so much faster inside is, well, due to NO WIND inside. Up here in ND, almost every day is windy here and it plays a big factor in your rides.  You can work hard as heck to maintain 15mph into a wind, and then almost fly 25mph with the wind to your back sometimes.  That makes a big difference.  One time, I went into such a strong wind that it took me almost 20 minutes to ride only 3 miles up and down some hills.  With the wind to my back on the return trip, I covered 3 miles in about 8 minutes.

I can't wait to get out on the bike soon. I know some ride outside when its this cold out, but I like to be safe on the roads when I ride as well.

For now, it was a 7 mile ride this morning, done in under 19 minutes. 

Not a bad little ride to get things started for the day.

After my BPC, I went with another 10 oz serving of OG Royal Brewed, as I like getting 2 servings out of my BrewKups each morning.
