CYCLING 102---ADDING WINTER RUNNING FOR TRAINING -SUPPLEMENTAL
Now,(sunday it was 23 degrees)that winter is upon us; running can be used to supplement biking. It is warmer to run(less wind effect, and you get warmer faster and easier). If you start and have never been a runner start with 2 days a week aiming for 3 miles.(walk some if need to). Do this for 2 weeks then go to 2 days and 4 miles per time..2 weeks later jump up to 5 miles per run and stay twice a week. If you carry these 2 days a week till either March 1st; or mid march; at that point you usually can start to ride more as the weather "thinks" about warming up. These 2 days a week can supplement any indoor training you do; as well as your weekend rides. Usually, these 2 days of running will NOT lead to injuries(not enough to hurt
Central Park "A" laps Tuesday morning.
Late season "A" paced laps (that means A 12 – ha, ha, ha, ha) in Central Park tomorrow morning. If interested, meet at TOG at 6:00 AM. Unless a major calamity happens – like my alarm clock gets smashed before then – I will be there.
March and SIGs
Anyone know of dates for the evaluation ride and start of the C-SIG? I need to do some travel planning for early to mid March.
Thanks in advance.

Die Hards 4,5 and 6: routes and holiday schedules.
In the interest of giving a little more time to plan holiday ride schedules, here's what we'll be doing for the next 3 weeks:
1) Sat 12/17--We're going climbing. 29 miles, no lunch stop. Using Tim McCarthy's saucy local NJ cue sheet called "Dead Presidents" we'll climb to stay warm and get a really solid hill workout in before the holidays. It's a climb at your own pace and regroup at the top kind of thing. Plan a relatively early return, the cue sheet is in the ride library.
