Howdy folks,

Yikes… what a week.

Vegas all week, then an insanely hot & dusty race on Saturday left me sick in bed all day on Sunday.

Blech.

Sorry I was out of action on here for so long, but we’re up and running now!

After a week like that, what better way to roll into the next week than with a…

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.

When you do your recovery ride – if you have the time – just get out 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.

Or at least try to.

Till tomorrow,

M
