The days are nearly as short as they get, and the cold is creaping in from the North. Time to bundle up with chocolate and a good movie. Oh yeah, I’ve got to ride. If I don’t stick with my training regiment, my fellow riders will kick my #$% in the spring.  So I lift my body off the couch, slip on the lycra and dig around for my shoes.

Don’t begrudge winter – there is so much to do outside. ski, snowshoe, ice fish or ride your mountain bike with studded tires. But don’t forget to ride indoors. you will appreciate the strength come March.

Coach Troy has put together a fantastic 5 pack of workouts called the Aero Base Builder Series (available from Kinetic, or ask your local bike shop). These work outs vary in length and strength and will definitely push your riding skills to a new level. Get the DVD and get on your bike. your only regret will be if you don’t.
