January Training



Well, you have to be flexible with respect to bicycling schedules in the winter - with the non-bike-friendly weather, travel and darkness. So, today the kid and I walked to the grocery store for 'essentials' (to support baked goods: ingredients include oatmeal and chocolate chips). The snow offered some nice resistance for the walk. And then there's the shoveling of the walk and driveway. We gathered another 1/2 inch of snow while shoveling. Hot chocolate is a recovery drink on par with chocolate milk (anybody buying that?). We've another 2 inches of snow since then, so I think I'll get another rep in before day's end.

While I've been 'iced out' more than once, there have been some breaks in the weather, and did this ride last weekend:
