Upcoming Goals

The cold weather is approaching us fast, and I've already started the procrastination process of not wanting to exercise or do things outside. But there are some upcoming events that I'm looking into participating or I am participating in.

October 18th - 2nd Annual Women's Only Mountain BIking Clinic (Thinking about doing)
**Learning the skills I need to have fun riding my bike off road. It teaches basic skills that you need to ride your mountain bike with confidence. Some of the basics that will be covered include, cornering, riding over logs, descending, climbing and special avoidance skills such as avoiding running into trees, crashing, falling over, running into / over the wildlife and running into each
other.

October 25th - Susan G. Komen for the Cure (Participating in)
**Joining Julie S., Alexa, and Julie G to support breast cancer awareness. We'll be walking 3 miles or so. Thank goodness I purchased some good walking shoes!

November 23rd - Tour de Lights
** Avid bikers will enjoy the 11 mile route that starts downtown and utilizes a trail to get you to Water Works Park. Another activity the Julies and Alexa have invited me to.

December 11th- December 15th: VEGAS BABY!!!
**I will definitely be doing a lot of walking.

Sometime in February - BRR (Bike Ride to Rippey) *thinking about doing*
**The BRR ride is a 24-mile round trip from Perry to Rippey and back to Perry. It has been a frigid 37 degrees below, trek in a foot of snow or a balmy high of 60 degrees …The ride continues no matter what the weather! BRR is also known as the “Original WINTER Ride” as well as the “Winter Ragbrai Reunion.” The BRR event has attracted over 3,000 plus riders that attend from all over Iowa and the country.


So I'm really hoping that this helps me beat the winter blues and keeps me busy, and help me keep the weight down during the cold months when most of us are pretty sedentary.
