Now I'm back home in Toronto. Haven't returned to the gym yet but have been doing dumbbell exercises at home. Just got my winter bike ready to go: found a way to mount my rear facing camera. But we're having another few days of heavy snow and wind, so when I return to cycling, I start slowly. My cardio is shovelling snow.
I bet you could have been riding outside in Vancouver by this time instead of needing a gym membership? Much harder to do in Toronto these days. All the power to you for getting the courage up to go out in the harsh conditions we've been having since the new year. I can't face it.
Not sure if you're familiar with My Little Bike Shop and it's owner Cam, but he posts his wheelie rides on Instagram just about every day and I have to watch in awe as he flies along the icy cold Toronto streets popping a wheelie and getting super excited about it. Entertainment.
