Team Training Day 1

Today was day one of the Fort Worth cycle team’s training. We’re off to a great start and are looking forward to the season!

We road today at Texas Motor Speedway in DFW. For those of you who are interested in cycling and live in the area, this is a great place to ride. There is not a lot of traffic and most of the ride is flat - so it is good for beginners who are getting used to their bikes. Today’s ride was a 10 mile ride. Next week we’ll go 15 and then continue to move up from there.

The North Texas winds did not disappoint today, as usual. The winds almost knocked me over! The training that I’ve been doing in the gym really helped me get a good start on conditioning and the 10 miles only made me feel energized and not fatigued. That’s always a good sign!
