Working Interfers with Ridn

And snowboarding is not as calorie burning as cycling - as a result I have put on some poundage. Need to cut down on calories and start burning some - so, with the traveling that I have to do this time of year doing customer meetings, I have revisited the hotel fitness room and pool scene. Not exactly what I like to do, but once you get out of the room and get the heart rate up, things brighten up. The rest of the day usually goes better and the boost to the metabolism is helping to burn calories all day. Watching Imus while trying to spin on a stationary bike that was last used by some fat-assed person reading the National Enquirer is not great ridn, but it serves the purpose. Most of the machines these days have built in HR monitors, so that helps.

One the bright side - winter weather has returned in force. With Killington and Mt. Snow getting 14-plus inches of new snow this week. Hopefully I will soon get to do some powder ridn. Last Sunday at Mt. Snow was a mini-preview as there was a couple of inches of loose snow on top of the hard pack. The Malalo showed its stuff - can't wait for more.
