Why do I train inside?

You may be wondering why I train inside - wouldn't it be better to ride over the very escarpment I will be challenged with on the Ride day?

It is because most days the temperature does not go above 3/4 degrees and recently we have had snow storms, ice and freezing rain! Not the best of cycling conditions.

So I have brought my training inside! ... a good opportunity to learn how to use the clip-pedals - trust me I need the practice!

Worried you will be subjected to seven months of photos of my indoor training - fear not! My training includes a range of sporting activities including aerobics, tai chi and the favourite of the month - my Wii Fit!

My rigorous training will be all worth it - when I complete my 200km ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls. Please help me reach my goal by donating to the Princess Margaret Ride to Conquer Cancer. DONATE TODAY!
