My Side of the Fence

The danger isn't going too far. It's that we don't go far enough.

Bike Riding

So, I’ve been doing spin classes over at the Freedom center for about a year and now I’ve switched (during nice weather) to actual bike riding.  I’m trying to train up to do a couple of charity events.  The longest of these is 180 miles over 2 days.

My biggest challenge will be to drop some more weight.  As one of my friends says: there isn’t much point in paying for thousands of dollars to save weight on the bike when there are weight savings to be had for free!  I appreciate his tact but he’s right: there’s too much of me to really worry about saving a couple of pounds or ounces on the bike side!  I’m changing my diet to drop some fat.  It isn’t too tough to do.  I lost about 60lbs during a summer 8 years ago when the doc told me I was a diabetic.  This is less weight and should be simple.

The other cool thing is an app I found for the iPhone called “the bike”.  It tracks your route, speed, distance, etc via gps and then uploads it to a website that overlays your track on Google Earth.  Here’s a link to my airport ride.   It isn’t real long but I wanted to try it out on a short ride before I came to depend on it.

    Se torna dificil colocar muebles en un piso con dimensiones pequeñas. Muchas veces cuando nos mudamos y ya tenemos muebles nos debemos esforzar mucho para acomodar todas nuestras cosas y siempre algo tendremos que regalar.
