Yesterday, I went bike riding on my lunch break (Thanks, Jami!). I haven't ridden a real bicycle in years, and I can't begin to tell you how much fun I had. Yesterday was a beautiful day, and it was so great to get out in the fresh air. It was like being a kid again. I pushed myself pretty hard, and by then end of my ride, I was huffing and puffing and my thighs were burning. I felt so energized for the rest of the day that I am going to make this a habit.

    Be careful. I lost weight and got in shape to go on a bike ride with my son and his scout troop. Now I lead that trip, attend a spin class twice a week, have a new bike, and biked a century last year. Low impact on the joints and a great workout and plenty of neat places and events to ride in. In short, it's addictive! Enjoy!

    I am SOOO jealous. I miss my bike so much. Still way too cold and snowy here :((( And riding a stationary isn't nearly as much fun.

    Woop! Keep it up. Biking is a pretty sweet feeling.
    And Spin class is a drug

    For those of us in the depths of winter...if you were a nutcase and so inclined there is:

    But yeah, I'm waiting for nicer weather.

    I ride almost every day to work in balmy Indiana (hey, it's 32 now, heat wave!). Of course after the "storm of the century" I was getting some comments from people who couldn't believe it, but hey, I have no car and the roads were clearer than the sidewalks! :bigsmile:
