Trump's advice to you on conditioning and training for cycling.

Submitted by RRosenthal on Mon, 06/05/2017 - 5:02pm

"(Trump) came to view time spent playing sports as time wasted. (He) believed the human body was like a battery, with a finite amount of energy, which exercise only depleted."

There are approximately 2000 members in our club. Of these c. 2000 members, 9 (.0045%) are signed up to ride today. (Leading these 9 are 10 ride leaders.) 

Question: Why do you think this is? Your opinion please.
