New Cycling Glasses
I got these new sunglasses this weekend. They are SWEET. They have adaptalite lenses which means they adjust to the light as you are biking. I wore them for the first time yesterday and it was really nice that they would get darker when the sun came out and lighter when there were clouds. I highly recommend them. I also got a new helmet, a long sleeved jersey, a skull cap, tights, and a biking windbreaker. Man this stuff adds up fast. I think I am good for the rest of the season now, plus I can ride outside now regardless of temperature as long as it isn’t icy.

Rollers Demonstration
I had a few people ask me what rollers are and requested a video so I thought I would fulfill their request. I am finally getting the hang of these things. It is not easy. It brings back memories of learning how to ride a bike when you were five years old. It improves your balance though and also improves your form. It also makes you have a high cadence because the higher it is the easier it is to balance. A lot of people do it in a doorway so that way if you fall you can grab onto something.
Here is my other alternative for riding indoors. This is for when you are feeling lazy or you want to hammer out some sprints. It is easier because you don’t have to balance at all as it holds up your bike.

Roast Beef Sandwiches
It is my goal to lose a little weight around my mid-section and get more defined by this summer. I have been working on it for a few months now and have been making progress. I traded a book on swaptree.com and got “The Abs Diet.” They have some recipes in there so I thought I would give it a try tonight. It was awesome!! Eating healthy has never tasted so good.
