Doing a VO2 Max cycling workout while watching Red 2. The snowy background was a pleasant addition to the training. I can get used to this view!
Hopefully it’ll snow more. My replacement mountain bike wheels are in transit. Can’t wait to get on the trails.
I couldn’t think of a better way to end 2013 with a totally new experience! Cyclocross has always been on my list of things to dabble in during the offseason – and so I raced the Long Island Cyclocross event in Nissequogue State Park. This event is hosted by Kreb Cycle, one of the bike…
