...upper body workout. High reps, light weight. Like the amount that will fit on a snow shovel.

i am seriously in arrears on my GOBA and TOSRV training.....these little spins on the trainer just aren't going to cut it. I better motivate (tomorrow or the next day)

My main riding partner is the captian of the quad from orrville. We have come to the conclusion that if we suffer in larges amounts in the winter and spring when he finally gets the famaliy on a long bike it wont hurt near as bad. I can't imagine how bad it hurts to do 65 miles into a head wind on that thing.
