Yes, I stole that title from the Algomaha blog. I have riding cloths to ride outside comfortably down to 20 degrees. I have had some of my most enjoyable rides outside in the fall/winter and some of my most memorable (not in a good way).
Anyway, I wasn't able to get out Wednesday so I was extra motivated to complete yesterdays plan. I jogged 3.5miles at lunch. I have no clue what kind of pace I have been running. It must be 10min/mi pace or slower but it is fast enough to get my heart rate up to my zone 2. I usually walk up steeper hills. I walk because I want to keep my HR down.
After work last night, I headed straight out the door for a ride. I did my normal airport route of about 22miles. I kept the cadence in the 95+ rpm range. I felt pretty good and kept up a good speed considering the wind. It is nice riding around the airport. There is very little traffic. Also, the road is lit up so I can see the display on my HR monitor. Ride duration was 1:35hrs.
Today, I am heading for the gym for my first weights workout. The workout will include leg excersizes and core excersizes with a lot of reps.
About Me

- I love to ride my bike and race it. I don't make much money racing so I do Java Programming to pay the bills. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and family. Did I say I was a grandpa... I am too young for that.
Of course I have a secret identity...
who wants the pressure of being "Super" all the time.

The winter of '93 Dave Randleman and myself fixed up a couple road frames, fixie style, and hit the backside of the airport. It was an unusually warm winter.
Keep up the good work.
Hey Marc, I saw your comment on Bryan's blog and I agree with you on the benefits of climbing on the trainer. I like to have the option to do either. I know deep in the heart of winter, I won't have the outside option so I get out every chance I get.
