My plan to avoid gaining weight over the winter
It's December, the holidays are coming and I'm thinking how am I going to keep from gaining weight over the winter as seems to always be the case for as long as I can remember. Yes I know, it's about exercise and eating right but if it were just that easy it wouldn't be a problem. I know what to do, it's just difficult for me to get my butt in gear to do it. What I need is motivation. I need a challenging cycling goal for 2013 that I feel pressure to train for. It has to be tough otherwise I'll just put it off until it's closer and I need peer pressure to keep me from backing out. I wrote a blog post last night to get my thoughts down, pick my challenge and figure out how to find the peer pressure I need. You could be that peer pressure. Heck, you could join me if you want to. Check is out at Set a Cycling Challenge That’s Difficult and Use It as Motivation. Are you up for a challenge?

I rode the GAP and C&O this year. I loved the GAP, the C&O not so much. Big difference in the condition of the two. More crushed stone on the GAP and we had rain so plenty of mud on the C&O.

BTW ignore those 'real bike tourists' who told you your trip doesn't count. They remind me of the posters here who say I'm not a "real cyclist." I suppose that makes me a surreal cyclist..... |
I to need goals to keep on track, I didn't have anything planned for this year and started season at 248lbs. I did ride a lot and got as low as 206 but am back to 218. This year we did a 380k ride and my goal is to cut an hour off the ride time for next year. I also want to better my time on a few certain steep nasty hills but most of all I need to keep up with my son and nephew.
