"We're Talking Bikes in the Woods"
Yesterday, I was standing around at Sandy Point State Park --where winds whipped up to 40 miles per hour--with the rest of the media and Maryland state officials. We were awaiting the arrival of Governor Martin O'Malley when I met David Ferraro of the Mid Atlantic Off Road Enthusiasts and we talked about, well, biking in the woods.
Governor O'Malley was talking about his plans to add $22.7 million dollars to state parks, and that prospect made Ferraro very happy. So we chatted about the many opportunities for you to go bike in the woods at places like Patapsco Sate Park.
Have a listen, check the sites, and then get out and see the sights. On a bike.

Ok, so on day three I got my workout in later rather than earlier.
Much later. Like @ 10pm. Actually it's a really nice time to ride: the streets are quiet and it's fun.
Upside: I got in my 31 minutes. (I pledged to complete 30 minutes a day +1, besting Newark Mayor Cory Booker by 1 minute each day. Just because I wanted to go him one better, but not go all crazy. I have my limits.)
Downside: Bitter cold, windy and I took out a Capital Bikeshare bike. Now I love the Cabis but I have to say: after zipping around on my Jamis Coda, those Cabis are heavy! That's why I'm amazed at how Tom Bridge has been making use of them for his workouts.
Tom, a tip of the hat to you.
Here's what I've done "so far this year".
On the bike(s) : 588 calories in 12.5 miles
On foot: 242 calories in 2.4 miles
Not earth shattering, but a start.
How about you? What's working for you?
