With the announcement of the 2009 Le tour de France next week I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into my mundane trainer training.
For me to set and on a trainer for more that about 5 seconds is a major accomplishment. So in a attempt to add a little excitement to an other wise boring task I came up with "Tour de Trainer"
What is this you may ask? Simple! Every week you will ride a stage of the 2009 Le tour de France.
21ish stages with a prologue (or not) and 2 rest days. When the route is announced on Wednesday then we will have the total mileage.
The idea is,
Ride one stage a week 21 stages, 21 weeks. Divide them up however you want. If the weather is suitable for riding outside DO IT! We are not keeping score.
If you miss a day, you can make it up somewhere during the week or not, again we are not keeping score.
The point of this is at the start of nice weather you will have a head start on next years riding.
For those who do not need any encouragement, good for you. For the rest of us... Its a thought!
Peace and grease.

Hey man, I am IN!! I will incorporate that as part of my off-season training, along with the swimming and running. Let's do it.
BTW, am I cool (or dorky) enough to be a part of Team Dual Threat?
