And sometimes that means snow but temperate opportunities approach. The La Crosse Omnium, the Iola Bump and Jump and the Metro Mountain Bike Spring Social Ride, May 2nd, are all fast approaching. Don’t forget the Kenosha Velodrome, the oldest operating Velodrome in the nation, will be starting up in June. The track is being completely resurfaced. If all such exertions seem too much for your splendid being, spectating is a noble profession.
If that isn’t soon enough for you, local trail work days begin this Monday, yes in two days. Contact Metro Mountain Bikers for details.
The lady from the farmers market said, and I must take heed her every word, that tilling up the soil disturbs all the good stuff living in it and is detrimental to your gardening agenda. What ever that agenda may be (world peace, good food or weeee, look at me I’m gardening) I’m following her advice. I just broke up the surface soil with that garden thingy in the picture; that one often seen when wasting time in front of the television. I’ll work in some coffee grounds and a bit of compost and throw down some spinach or other cool weather vegetable. Most of the compost will cover the raspberry bed. I will be adding some more planting beds this year. Cabbage is expensive and if you want to make your own sauerkraut it’s best to grow your own. At least that is what I have been told so why go check myself when I have a wife to do that.
Home repair, yard work and spring cleaning have been the go to activities. But they are not getting the job done in terms of weight loss. If I am to make my goal of 225lbs by June 2nd some good long rides and attention to the details of the diet are a must. The weight loss with the bulletproof diet has slowed considerably after the first 25lbs. We could be eating more vegetables and a little less rice. I am only losing a pound a week. While if consistent, that is a great achievement I needed three pounds a week, and now more than five.
But then again, if I do get to 225lbs by June 2nd what category shall I race in. I would most likely drop below the Clydesdale weight (I believe that is 220lbs) by the end of the Summer, not that it will make a world of difference what class I race in. …I’m almost 30lbs lighter since that last time I road my bike.
Supplements are bad for you; the latest study claims. I have had noticeable benefit from some supplements. I take them until I forget to and conclude that if I needed more I would have remembered to take them. It’s best to get your nutrition from the food you eat. Enough said.
The $94 question: What were my three most favorite WORS races? Keeping the same question. Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
