SC Velo Toy Ride

The Southern California Velo Cycling Club (SC Velo) and
Incycle Bicycle Stores sponsored Christmas Toy Ride was
held on December 9, 2012. Toys that were collected at the
four Incycle Bicycle stores and Dale Bros Brewery in Upland
since the weekend after Thanksgiving were taken to the
San Dimas Sheriff's station so that they can be distributed
to needy families. A large and varied assortment of toys
donated by cyclists from all over the region were delivered
to the Sheriff's station on Sunday morning. In addition to
the toys, SC Velo and Incycle Bicycle stores worked together
to get a total of 28 new bikes for the deputies of the
San Dimas Station to deliver along with the toys to children
of needy families.  The toys and bikes will brighten many
local children's Christmases.

Week of 12/10/2012

Training at 5:15 am. Monday

Tuesday. Holiday Luncheon at Brookside Golf Course near the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. The day was gorgeous. The view spectacular of the green grass the clear blue sky and mountains that chiseled the landscape. I saw a few cyclists riding on the way back to work. My motivation dropped to zero closeted in my office.

Wednesday. The goal for today is no sugar. Too many calories were consumed yesterday via Banana Bread, Oatmeal cookies and Holiday Lunch.

Bills View

Bill had a grand view of the world from Newman's point today. The first West to Los Angeles. The second East to Mt. Baldy. Either way you look at it, the working stiffs at their desks can only dream of gorgeous rides like this.

What have I been doing

I have converted into the autumn-winter pattern of cycling indoors during the week. I use a cycleops indoor trainer.  The advantage of riding indoors includes heating which means I can where shorts, cooling I can turn on fan, Tour de France DVDs - Miguel Indurain et al and power data. Yes. I do enjoy looking at the charts. Read the NY Times article about intervals and how you can spend 90% less time and improve your fitness.
