I started at the gym early in 2019 to augment my riding since they say strength training is good for you as you age. In that time I was able in increase the amount of weight I was lifting by amounts I wouldn't have thought possible. 3 days a week at the gym and 3 days riding.

This March with the onset of COVID-19 I decided to suspend my gym membership even before the state closed all gyms. This has left me a lot more time for riding. Since the weather is nice here in the spring I've been able to cycle 40 out of the last 41 days. And I realized just how much more I enjoy riding than going to the gym. I really love going out on my daily rides.

I never loved the gym but went religiously because it was good for me but I've been toying with the idea of just sticking with cycling when the state allows the gyms to reopen. Plus, it will save me about $420/yr. which I'm sure I'll just end up spending on bike stuff.
