Hey all. Brief update here, despite the glorious giant flakes of snow seen today in Central New York, spring is just around the corner. The CNY Triathlon Winter Training Facility has just announced they’ll only be open for another month and a half.

old unfinished portrait of the frankenbike… now it has fenders and all.. it’s awesome

This winter has been a good one thus far. The miles have been adding up on the ol’ Frankenbike single speed commuter traversing all over Syracuse this winter and I don’t know about yous guys, but I’m itching to race a little. A couple local-ish running and road cycling races are starting to pop up on the calendar for the near future. Not sure but I might just have to jump in and race Battenkill..  looking forward to a nice 4miler in the neighborhood over at the Tip Hill Run always good to see some familiar faces, it a fun race too where the whole community comes out to yell. Not sure what else quite yet.. the taste of indoor track air isn’t the greatest.. I may prefer the stinging sleet of running and riding out side it’s been a while since I’d felt that deep burn followed by days of coughing.

Speaking of fun indoor sporting…

BTB has expanded its realm into the world of soccer! Where Sarah and a great group of girls play under the title sponsor, Lamont Tavern out at the Jones Road sports complex.  Following next weeks winter break they will be competing in the Finals on Thursday, March 1st.

As the winter temperatures and spotty precipitation continues, keep doing what ever it is you do! There are lots of great things going on. We’ve been having a blast at Mello Velo, spinning in the café for what they call ‘Hump-Day Rump-Day’ riding bicycles indoors on Wednesdays; we spin, do a little work out, then frequently end up eating delicious foods near by.

Run, bike, lift, swim, snowshoe, ski, crossfit, soccer, lacrosse, hockey, what is your favorite winter time activity? Let us know in the comments below!

enjoy!
