1/31/2006 New Bike

I put in a nice little 60 minute bicycle ride today. It was freezing outside, probably just below 40 degrees. It didn't matter though, because the ride was a test ride for my new bike. Woo hoo! It was good to get out on a "real" road bike again. I've been riding the borrowed hybrid bike since I wrecked my poor Trek in the fall. The route I used for the ride started at Reser Bicycle Outfitters and went out of Newport along Route 8. It has been one of my favorite routes to ride for years and was good to get back on it again. The ride was approximately 15 miles, but I'm not sure of the rest of the stats because I didn't have my bike computer.

The Beginning

In order to stay motivated and on track with my fitness goals for 2006 I have decided to start a new blog to write about what is happening. I started a new workout plan with the help of a trainer and will be training to do several duathlons, triathlons and running races. There is much more to come.
