What is your PLAN for the Winter months?

Posted by Sheila on December 4, 2011

So far this fall I think we have been lucky to have so many days we have been able to ride! BUT…you know it is coming…days…then weeks…then months pass and you have not been outside on your bike! BLAH!

Do you have a plan to keep your legs? Are you going to take a class at the “Y”? How about a trainer in the house? Maybe a spin at the Bike Shop on Tuesday and Thursday nights after the holiday?

If you are like me…you just know you have to do something! Sitting on a trainer is tough for me…in 5 minutes I am ready to jump off and say okay that was NOT fun!

I think I am going to start Yoga this month…Mondays and Wednesdays…that is a start! I know my husband will not be thrilled to hear this because he has agreed to do whatever type of workout I choose with me! hehehe!

I am also thinking I would like to start running again…my knees have no say in this! ;)   Have you ever heard of the Couch to 5K? Maybe I will start that in January and I will be ready to do a 5K by St. Paddy’s Day!!! What do you think? Want to join me?

So all in all I need to keep moving! I am praying for a short winter so we can get back on our bikes!!

If you have any ideas about how to keep in shape over the winter let me know! If anyone wants to partner with me to make the time more enjoyable leave me a message here and I will get in touch!

Hot July!

Posted by Sheila on July 26, 2011

Wow! Talk about HOT weather! July has not let us down. It has been in the 100′s…crazy! But the temp has not stopped some of you from going out. With a heat index of 111 one Thursday we still had 7 guys head out for a group ride.

July has been a busy month for most of us with time trials, races, group rides and all the other things summer brings, like boating, swimming and bbq.

Hopefully the 100 degree weather is gone and we can enjoy riding again.

If you are new to Defiance please take a few minutes and check out our site. We have something for just about everyone. You can also follow us on Facebook. Defiance Cycling.

There are a couple of things coming up:

There have been a few requests for Bike portraits. Bella Luce Photography will have two different dates open to schedule pictures with your bike or on your bike or tandem teams or the Race Team, etc. There is no sitting fee to anyone who is part of Defiance Cycling (this means if you cycle with Tuesday/Thursday Group, Saturday Pedalers, Team Defiance, or Sunday Social Tandeming you are part of Defiance Cycling) you will also get an image to use online (Facebook, my space, etc…). You will be able to order portraits. Watch for the dates to be posted or you can contact Bella Luce Photography at 419-782-1079.

There are still more Saturday morning rides. Check the schedule.

Every Sunday is Social Tandeming. Meeting spot is the parking lot at 5th & Wayne. For July and August the start time is 6pm.

There is going to be another GOATS Group Tandem ride this Fall in Columbus. More information to come.

End of year Pot luck. More info to come.

I hope everyone is having a great summer! Please check back for updates and more news!
