Virtual Training

20 October 2008

The nice thing about this time of year is the fall temperatures and the changing of the seasons. I always struggle with the darkness and the coolness in the morning with my standard 6:00 AM ride, and am thankful that we have a Virtual Reality trainer ride in the morning. It is a small thing, [...]

13 October 2008
