Spin Into Spring

Whew, this has been a VERY long winter. I know, it's only March 6 and this is Minnesota and it is going to be negative 10 degrees tonight but, hope springs eternal and the nice weather is right around the corner. Why, it was light at 6:20 last night.

What all this means, is that it is time to get back on your bike. Time to be out on the road or the trail and simply enjoying the extraordinary realization that a bicycle is THE most amazing machine on Earth ... period! A few years ago, Scientific American did an article in which it was stated that the bicycle is the most efficient means of locomotion. This is abundantly obvious to any and all cyclists. Throw that road bike onto the big ring and get the old RPM's up ... amazing! What power! What speed! What puke ... ooh, I forgot to train this winter. Anyhow RIDE!
