No biking today
First off day of 2012 many more to come
Working at night and then getting up early in the morning to ride the trainer sounded like a plan, but it's a plan that never materialized. The 11-degree temperature did not help. So, I headed to Bagel World in Salem, which the girls love but my diet does not. My workout consisted of a short jog on frigid Phillips Beach with my dog trying to nip me.
I am signed up for spin class tomorrow, so at least I have a goal for the week. I'm trying to keep from melting into the couch through the winter.
I do have this photo to share of Mike Murphy on a foldy. Mike used to work at Marblehead Cycle in the 1990s when he was 15. Now he's out in Orange County, Calif. A strong mountain bike rider, he took six years off the bike, mechanic John Raymond tells me. When Murphy got back on the bike, a model made by Giant, he was able to beat a club full of mountain bikers during one of his first rides back. Now, he's come full circle and test riding a Raleigh foldy back in Marblehead. Don't tell anyone.
MS Global particpant Matt I. is not feeling well and Karen Crumback, the development director for the Accelerated Cure Project, wants us to keep him in our thoughts and prayers. I met him at ACP's annual dinner in December and he's a really swell guy. I hope he can ride with the group this summer. ACP is the recipient of the money raised by MS Global each year, and its cutting edge research into the cause of MS is really something to support.
Thank you to Nate who shared some suggestions about various century rides this summer when I posted my goals. I would like to ride Climb to the Clouds, but only the metric century. I think a climb like that followed by many more miles would do this body in.
