Learn the basics of biking with pro-advice, confidence-building drills, and a training plan developed by Cooking Light expert Gin Miller.

David Martinez Slideshow: Beginner Biking Plan Gear Up! Reader: Beth Griffiths, Williston, Vermont Her challenge: "I want to be more confident riding my bike." Her story: "Last spring, in a quest to get in shape, my husband and I decided to use the money we had saved for a new mattress on bikes instead," Griffiths says. "We thought bike riding could help us feel just as good—if not better than—a new mattress. Plus, we have fantastic places for riding. I fondly remember bike riding when I was younger and thought this would be a great way to shape up. When the bikes arrived, I couldn't wait to give mine a try. But one hilly venture was too much for me. As I was pedaling myself uphill, I ran out of steam. When I tried to get off the bike to walk the rest of the way up, I tipped over. While my only physical injury was a scraped knee, my pride was substantially bruised," Griffiths says. Gin's prescription: "I've teamed with Dotsie Bausch, a professional cyclist since 2002 and leader of the Colavita/Sutter Home Women's Cycling Team presented by Cooking Light, to create a beginner's training guide, supplemented with useful information, confidence-building drills, and simple tips for Griffiths and other new riders," Miller says. Pace yourself. "Griffiths tried to do too much too soon in her first ride," Miller says. "While it's true that once you learn, you never forget how to ride a bike, becoming reacquainted with riding can be made easier with a little knowledge—especially for climbing hills, which shouldn't necessarily be part of a beginner's first ride." Plus, if you're rediscovering biking as an adult, your bike may have a few more bells and whistles than the one you rode as a kid. Look for proper fit. "Griffiths may have found bike riding to be harder than she remembered because her bike wasn't properly fitted to her body," Bausch says. "It's like walking in shoes that are too big or too small—it just doesn't work." If you're buying a new bike, have the sales assistant make the needed alterations. If you already have a bike, take it to your local bike shop for adjustments Stay motivated. "One of the most basic things a new rider should do is keep up the effort," Miller says. "That means continuing to ride—even when you fall off. It takes a few excursions to develop what cycling enthusiasts refer to as 'biking legs,' which simply means allowing your body to adapt to the new activity. Once Griffiths becomes comfortable on her bike, she will see rapid improvement and be able to ride anywhere."

Late TGIF afternoon ride with Uncle Pilo aka Felino

Feeling much better after nursing a cold for the last few days, beautiful weather, I and Uncle Pilo decided we wanted to go for a ride - meet up somewhere along the Lachine Canal bike path and ride to the Old Port and back.

We said we'd go on a leisurely pace, but, having a good tailwind behind us, we average over 30 kph on the way the Old Port.

The ride back wasn't too bad, considering that this time we had to ride against a headwind. We still manage to average around 25 kph.

so we get to the Old Port, we decided we wanted to have a coffee break, Pilo decides he was going to buy, get coffee and muffin, and he comes back with coffee and this, Beavertails ;-))

tough to say no to Beavertails, specially when already bought and paid for ;-)), it was a good source of energy as we rode back against a headwind

talking on the phone with Mom, getting the latest update regarding brother Nick-Nick

thanks for the coffee and Beavertails (aka cycling energy food) Uncle Pilo

lock, loaded, and ready to head back home

Canada Day Bike Ride 2008

Have you ridden your bike lately?

Exploring along Chateau Pierrefonds Blvd

I was able to pick up my Cannondale road bike from Cycles St.Laurent after lunch.

Was planning to ride with Pilo but he had to cancel later because of prior commitments.

Rather than ride to the Old Port from Lachine, I opted to go do more exploring further west on Pierrefonds Blvd.

As I headed south on Chateau Pierrefonds I explored side streets where new housing have sprouted these past few years. I was just amazed how much more new housing, how new communities have developed where there used to be corn fields and farm lands.

Heading south, to my surprise and amazement, I stumbled on to where the Kirkland Colisee complex is. I've just discovered another route to take when we're heading back to Pierrefonds returning from the Chemin St.Marie side.

Also discovered that Chateau Pierrefonds becomes Chateau Kirkland (vice versa, depending on your heading)

Logged 14kms from my start point to the Kirkland Colisee. On a side note, the above picture was taken in the landscape format, but when uploaded on to the blog it was rotated automatically, that's why the bike computer photo is displayed sideways. What's up with that Google / Blogger?

I took the Sallabery bike path heading back east to Pierrefonds. Stopped by the soccer field where Trish was watching a soccer game- Patrick's team was playing.


Salaberry bike path, by corner of Salaberry and Blvd. St. Jean. Riding parallel to the power lines does give you an 'energized ride' ;-).

too bad, their team lost

Have you ridden your bike lately?! Happy riding!!
