Late February update


By John Washburn - Posted on 27 February 2009

I am writing this entry after two weeks of indoor training. Last night we offered a break from the routine and took the riders and mentors to the Brenton Skating Rink across the river from the Downtown YMCA where we meet for indoor training. Fun was had by all.

We usually meet at the YMCA and form into three groups which cycle through the training stations.
On Mondays we cycle through:

  • Spin Class
  • Running on the track
  • Resistance Band Training

On Thursdays we cycle through:

  • Spin Class
  • Running on the track
  • Educational training on a number of topics including nutrition, clothing and bike safety.

We now know the physical limit to the number of bikes we can store so we have a hard limit to the number of riders we can sign up.

We are currently at 56 young riders and would expect to remain there for the rest of indoor training.

At the end of March we will transition from indoor to outdoor training.

More about that on the next entry.

Pedal on.
