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.

I am hoping to be able to get back on my bike and back to my running. I have been so sad to not be able to be out running due to the weather and lack of time.
ReplyDeleteI plan on starting my walking routine as soon as the weather gets warm.--and I mean warm. I will be walking the Cape Fear River Trail on the week-ends with my pit bull; she likes it, and so do I.
