First Ride of the YearTonight, Joanne and Robert joined me for my first bicycle ride of the year. The rain stopped for a day so I motivated myself to get out on my bike. We rode north from Keizer and did a short route throght Windsor Inland. Total miles was just 22.68 and at a very easy pace (my average heart rate was just 111 bpm). We were not the only cyclists out. We met an oncoming rider on Brooklake Rd. I intended to ride yesterday, but it was raining very hard on my way home from work and this caused me to reconside my plans. I went to the warm and dry gym instead and did 35 minutes on the stair climber. On Monday, Martin and I lifted and it was a hard session. Tomorrow, I plan on working out with Martin and then riding with the group from Scott's.
