I am sure many of you are DYING to know how we manage 2 hours on our trainers without going absolutely mad! I know I wondered how I was going to do more than 30 minutes much less 2 hours multiple times a week. Well welcome to the Biking Basement! This is our team training center, complete with oscillating fan, television and a convenient “Kwik Trip stop” i.e. bathroom! This is where you will find Rob, Angie and me on Tuesday and Thursday mornings starting around 4:15am or 4:30am depending on the length of the bike. And then Mike and Paul show up around 8am on those same mornings to do there stint – the retired boys don’t seem to feel the need to join us at 4am ????? I don’t know why!
Welcome to our Biking Basement complete with sweatproof flooring, oscillating fan, "Kwik Trip" for necessary stops and of course our beloved TV.
This is also where you will find us on Saturday mornings, the most raucous day in the basement as we watch “Law and Order” and then “Men of a Certain Age”. It is always useful to have a resident judge to answer our questions and clarify “Hollywoodisms” and then we have our resident former “hoodlum” to point out how the “men of a certain age” should have gotten all of that out of their systems when they were younger! Yes the Biking Basement is the center of all knowledge and sarcasm. Also a bit of discussion on the best nutrition while biking as well as the after effects of good or bad nutrition! Some discussions are not fit to leave the basement and would not or should not be held in public but often are! Oops we sometimes forget we are no longer in the basement…. Sorry!
