When we took inventory of the bikes in our garage, we found only 1 road bike and 1 mountain bike, but we had 2 beach cruisers. We chose to bike from Pacific Beach in San Diego to Ocean Beach for breakfast at our favorite vegetarian friendly, Mexican joint--Ranchos!</p><p><embed height="335" src="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400"></embed></p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p><em>Note: The entire ride took a little over an hour and a half and I was unable to finish my breakfast burrito. Also, it was not until after the ride that I read Gale's notes about max heart rate--see comment in previous post.</em> </p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;</p><p>The rest of the week it was difficult to maintain my training schedule. Other than a short walk with the dogs on Christmas day, I was unable to make time for the workouts on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I am picking it back up today and I am hoping to do better over New Years--even though we will be leaving sunny San Diego for the cold climate in Chicago.</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:a926132d-f8c9-46eb-8ce0-29fe33001d61] --> biking triathlon_training get_active Thu, 27 Dec 2007 20:20:00 GMT Active Belle http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/2007/12/27/do-beach-cruisers-count-as-a-workout 2007-12-27T20:20:00Z 1 year, 11 months ago 1 0 http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/comment/do-beach-cruisers-count-as-a-workout http://community.active.com/blogs/Belle_Wants_to_Get_Active/feeds/comments?blogPost=5504
