How is this for a bucket list cycling trip???
Early spring
It sure looks like we will have an early end to the ski season and an early start of the cycling season this year! Please let me know when you are starting the group rides so that I can post the details here. If anybody wants to start the Sunday rides (I would suggest at 10am from the Bean Scene on Dickson), please let me know. This coming weekend looks a bit wet but after that it should be sunny.
Also, get yourself and your bike ready for cycling! This article has some good reminders and tips …
More than just cycling …
Try some cross training and other sports during the winter to stay fit. Cross country skiing is an obvious favorite but there are also other ways to stay fit. Check this overview of workouts to be completed in 30 min or less …
Always good to remember …
Make sure to review this reminder for riding in a pack … so come spring you’ll be ready to head out with the Beez in a “swarm” !
This advice is more commonly relayed as “DON’T FRICKING OVERLAP WHEELS” while out riding! :)
Spin workouts
Looking for ideas to keep fit through the cold season? Try these two indoor cycling workouts … and don’t slip on the sweaty floor afterwards :)
Protein and flu season
Find out why you need protein as a cyclist, and how much, as well as suggestions to stay healthy during flu season.

Finally – the shaving proof!
What can save you as much time on a cycling course as having the most aerodynamic bike frame?
No, you didn’t guess it. It’s actually a $2 razor! Read the details here …

Numb hands?
Here are some tips on how to avoid this …
And while you are at it, throw in some yoga stretches in the mornings!
End of 2014 season …
It looks like we have finally reached freezing overnight temperatures and the 2014 cycling season might be over … If occasional Sundays are sunny and warm enough to ride, by all means, come to the Bean Scene at 10am on Sunday and see who else shows up! It might be warm enough for a short outing ….
Our Wednesday rides ceased a while ago when it got too dark too early to make it worthwhile.
See you all in 2015, or on the cross country ski trails!
If you can’t make it to the mall today …
