Summer of Biking 2013

Things have been changing rapidly in my life over the past few months (definitely for the better), but the thing I look forward to the most this year is a constant: my Summer of Biking. I am starting a bit later than usual this year, but only barely.

This past weekend I tore my bike apart and rebuilt it. Today I took my first test ride on the new build, and it rides like the day I brought it home (all the way back in 2011 for those keeping score). Suffice to say, this weekend will be the kickoff to the Summer of Biking 2013 season. Highlights of this year include a heavy schedule (4-5 days per week) and endurance training. Cardio-heavy rides and strength training are in my future this summer.

While 2011 was a leisurely kickback for me and 2012 was a test of variety, 2013 is all about my health. This amazing three-day holiday weekend cannot come soon enough. My first ride? Almost certainly The Towpath to Grand Rapids.

B3 out.
