More Time and Temperature for Fitness

This time of year is particularly important to cyclists, in-line skaters, and any outdoors exercise enthusiasts. This is the time of year when the days start getting longer and the temperatures start getting higher. Thanks to the Energy Policy Act of 2005, most Americans turn their clocks forward one hour on the 2nd Sunday in March and back one hour on the 1st Sunday in November. Since last October, I and many other cyclists have only ridden their bikes outdoors occasionally on Saturday with weather permitting, but soon the time and temperature will allow me to set out during weekdays as more daylight extends past 5pm quitting time. The next few weeks will see me fine tuning my bike before I finally hit the road sometime around the second week of March. I have gained a few pounds, especially around the holidays, and I am looking forward to looser fitting clothes.

Please comment on how you plan to take advantage of extra daylight in the evening and warmer temperatures, or comment on any fitness or class related topic.

Introduction

Bikes and Stuff

Hello, my name is George. I roller speed skated for 14 years during the 1980's and into the 1990's. I raced road bicycles from 1983 until 2000. For the past 2 years, I have been riding my bicycle again but only for recreation and fitness. Feel free to post any comments related to cycling or inline skating.
