Level 15

Making great progress on my off season cross training. Reached level 13 on the stationery bike and have mixed in periods of level 15. My leg muscles feel a bit soar this week, but I have noticed improvements in stamina just by altering my workout on the stationery bike. Working on a new set of cross training that includes stamina rides of 45 minutes or more. Should be interesting.

New Bike Trails in Cleveand?

While doing a little research on local plans to improve Cleveland bike ways, I found this interesting blog post from a few month back. It looks like Cleveland has a good initiative in 2010 to build out the inner green necklace. This would be an excellent addition to the metro parks loop. I always look forward to a long ride and would enjoy heading downtown for the day. Perhaps a ride to Progressive field to watch the Indians? No parking $, clean air and exercise. What could be better. Ok, I know it's January but I'm getting excited for baseball.

Long Wait

It feels like I have been waiting years to get back on my bike. It's middle of the winter here in Cleveland, Ohio which means my bike has been on the garage rack for the past eight weeks. Can't wait for the weather to warm up in late February or March for that first ride. Planning lots of cool local trips and places to peddle in the spring.
