After getting back from our holiday, we began our training for the BC Bike Race. Between Oct & January, training is all about getting back into shape and not feeling the pain from the workouts. To help us with a distraction during this process, we bought The Garmin Edge 305. It should arrive next Thursday, but we already can't wait!!Our research shows that this little machine should be wicked fun. Here's a little more about it, until we can give you our consumer review next week!
"Edge 305 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this data for your review. For extra-precise climb and descent data, Edge 305 also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation. GPS, cadence & heart rate monitor in one!"
The weather is still good enough for biking outside - so we are doing that when we can. The rest of the time it's on the trainers in the basement. We also have a competition as to who can create the best IPOD workout mix. Katie's mix this week was an inspired old school mix that made the bike intervals pass quickly -- well done!! But Scott promises a solid sample of beats for training on Saturday. If you want to judge the IPOD selections, let us know & we'll post them for your comments!
Until next time - keep pedalling!

Good thing this device counts calories burned - given your messy diet at work.
Messy diet! WTF? I plan the diet in our house! Are you saying I should be watching my calories too?!!!

It must - the man lives on cookies, chips and Mr.Noodles!
