Spring Training
It's January in Chicago, I woke up to 6" of fresh snow this morning. My Spring wish is alive and in bloom right now. Thus, I find myself back on bike forums and reading posts again.
Time to start thinking about biking again. I don't use my winter trainer as I hate riding in the basement. How do others do spring training before jumping on the bike in March? Usually I just start by doing 2 1/2 mile rides for a week then extend to 5, then 7 1/2 and finally 12. |

I usually start each spring with easy spinning, but longer distances about 12-15 miles, and maybe 25-40 on weekend days. If I feel loose, I'll pick up the pace and once I've done that the next ride will be that much faster.

I take a one hour spinning class at the gym three days per week, and ride out for endurance as I can. The spinning is great, and the social stuff associated is fun, I never loose my conditioning, and infact, my hill climbing is killer after a couple months.
The classes at my gym are about 50/50 men to women, so don't think of it as just for the chicks. |
