That doesn’t happen real often here so it becomes a bit of a challenge to get your ride on. Yesterday I had to just suck it up and go out on the rode for an hour, I was getting stir crazy and the leg’s were screaming… let me out! As long as it’s not pouring rain, riding in it is kinda fun, you just need to dress properly (click on training/riding tips).Another option to keep the legs spinning during bad weather is riding the bike on a stationary trainer. You can do this with either a road or mountain bike and there are many choices out there for trainers. The way I like to do it is put the trainer in the garage, open the main door, turn on some music and spin for 45 minutes to an hour. this way I still feel like I am outside, it’s chilly and frankly not as boring as being indoors. I also like to read a magazine as well.

We are just 6 days untill the start of The Tour of California and hopefully this will be the last rain for a few weeks. All the teams are set and this years field is the biggest assembly of world class riders ever for a US race. Virtually all the top names on the circuit will be there and this could be a preview of what’s in store for the Tour de France!!! Versus network will have complete live TV coverage and we will be bringing you daily updates her at RIDEWITHDCS.com so check in daily! I would also like to give a huge shout out to my good friend Vince from http://dirtcartel.com/. With out all his awesome help I could not have been able to develop and maintain this site! He is a super good guy and has a KILLER MTB WEB SITE so click on the link and check it out. It’s full of product review, interviews and all that’s Mountain Bikes!!!
