Howdy folks,

If you’ve been playing along with us the last couple of days, you just spent the weekend either racing, or riding hard enough that actually racing would have been a step down…

I’m guessing that if you’re a regular around these here parts you’ve got a pretty good idea what’s on the agenda today.

Yup.

Suit up, and head on out for a nice…

Recovery Spin –

– Get on your bike. Roll out into the street, and just spin around for an hour.

– Really small gear, no hard efforts – heck, no medium effort.

– Spin. You’re looking to move your legs around in circles, almost like there is no chain on the bike.

– The idea is to get your body moving, flush the systems out, and speed your recovery.

– Just get out on the road and spin aimlessly. At a certain point, your legs suddenly feel better.

– As soon as that happens, turn around, go home, eat, stretch, and put your legs up.

Relax.

Have fun,

M
