Just a miscellaneous update

Not much to report. We're remaining injury-free, and keeping at our fitness pursuits. We just finished one of our week-long breaks, but got back to stationary bike riding a couple of days ago. And we've once again started the arm toner phase of our upper-body strength training regimen.

I suppose I could report that we tried a spin class at a local athletic club just to see if it might provide us with some variation in our winter cycling regimen. But it's really not what we want for off-season training--mainly because it's too intense. We'll get enough intensity on the bike once we start riding on the road any time here, and up until we get off the road in November or so. No need for us to, as it were, artificially increase intensity such as they do in spin classes.

We did try about a month's worth of the S90 routine I recently reviewed, just to see how well we could work it into our overall fitness regimen. The results were encouraging. No plans yet as to how/where we'll work it in, but we will undoubtedly be using it for part of the year.

We've mapped out a longer-distance bicycle tour for this summer, part of which will involve riding with the SAGBRAW tour. So we're excited about that. Will be posting more about that in the future.

With the warm weather we're now seeing we're very eager to get back out on the bike.
