Oh hey, I still have a blog. I took all kinds of photos and videos while we were out of town in Georgia recently with plans to write up how much fun we had dropping into various gyms. Been so…
Leaderboarding
Last night I went with Lauren to the 7:00 p.m. – 7:45 p.m. CycelBar class. These 45-minute rides are intense. Well, at least they are for me. I personally think some of the Peloton 45-minute rides are easier. Perhaps that…
