Medical, Elliptical and Skeptical
So I have taken the biggest step yet in my prep for the ride, no not riding my bike indoors on my trainer, calling my doctor’s office to set up an appointment to have him check out this body, that has been referred to as a temple [in ruins!]
Saturday morning work out at the local gym, one hour on the elliptical [ high tension] for a little leg burn, in preparation for that sleeper hilly province of New Brunswick. I have ridden with some of the previous riders and they felt that N.B. threw them some nasty climbs. I want to be prepared for whatever the ride throws my way.
For all those who are new to cycling and are somewhat skeptical about your ability to keep with the pack, here is a quote from one of the previous riders who I was riding with- “Our team was as fast as our slowest rider, there are no gold medals, we want to finish as a team, as a family and everyone join the event for the same reason- The Kids!!
