Everything about Sunday is just a countdown to watching Brett return to Lambeau as a Viking. So as I watched the NFL countdown show this morning on ESPN, I rode the old Trek on the trainer. I actually went for 35 minutes without really thinking too much about it. A little exercise before my special snack for the game, a buffalo chicken wing dip I have never made before. Should be good.

So the plan now is to switch bikes in the cycling room. The old trek FX 7500 goes out to the garage as the bad-weather winter ride bike at the ready to use outdoors if conditions allow. The Klein is now set up on the trainer for the winter season. I like to use that on the trainer because it is a closer fit to the Madone, and it also has the computer hooked up to the rear wheel. That means I can keep track of RPM, speed and miles while on the trainer. And as I have said before, my trainer miles count for something because the wear and tear on my fake hip is just the same as being on the road!

I won't log the miles though...I just like to know for myself, but it won't count as the road total miles for the season.

It's just a means to get a little exercise from now on. But the Madone is still at the ready...there is still some time to get a few more outdoor efforts in on it I am sure.

50 great miles on the bike trails today!! No leafs left on the trees - they are all on the trail! Just a handful of bikers out today, but the ride was great once the sun came back out.

51 more miles to hit my goal of 3,000 outdoor miles.

This Packer game is getting ugly.. just before half-time. Rogers hangs on too long, o-line is playing crappy. Where is the screen pass???
