Bicycling is my primary means of maintaining cardiovascular
fitness. It’s fun, doesn’t hurt as much as jogging, and controls
weight much better than swimming in moderation (and I'm no swimming maniac).
I’ve been bicycling relatively seriously for most of the past 15 years. In
fact, it was what got me into good enough shape to tackle northern California
diving conditions.
I’m blessed with probably THE perfect bicycling place to
play. The weather is relatively friendly year round (this was Greg
LeMond’s training area during winter months for the Tour De France) and
the terrain varies from flat to rolling to gruelingly steep, the choice being
mine. I can leave home in the morning and pass through Redwood groves, vineyard
country, Oak strewn pastureland, and coastal seascapes, all in the course of a
single day’s ride. It's pretty much all good. |
