The Countdown Begins

January 1 & 2, 2009,

The new year is here and the serious cycling begins. I have decided that at least one day a week I will ride no more than an hour easy. That in essence will be my off day. Ride just to keep myself loose. I was consistently between 250 and 300 miles for the week the last several months and I will keep it between 300 and 400 miles for January and February. If the weather lets up any, I will go outside to ride. I have decided to get up early and do all my riding first thing each day. I will also make it a habit to do three core strength days a week. I can already see the improvement by doing them.

This month I am going to begin sending out emails telling everyone about my project and beginning to raise money for the Lance Armstrong Foundation. Also I will be looking for up to 5 riders a day who might want to join me a day or two on the ride.I waited till the first of the year to make the final commitment.It is a done deal. A scary one but I know I am up for the challenge.

Total Distance January 1: 52 miles
Total Time January 1: 3 hours 30 minutes

Total Distance January 2: 10 miles
Total Time January 2: 45 minutes
