North, South, East and West -- The Big Ride

This is gonna leave a mark! This morning, starting at home on the valley floor (elev ~1300 ft) I rode my bike to the west side of the valley up Johns Peak (~3000 ft). Then I headed down and to the east side of the valley and rode up Roxy Ann (~3500 ft). I then came back down to the valley floor and rode the north/south length of the bike path between Ashland and Central Point out and back.
I spent almost 8 hours on my bike doing that. Now, before you ask why it took so long, it was done on my single speed, 29er, rigid frame mountain bike with a 32:20 gear ratio......certainly not made for speed, but fun as hell!!

About Your Trainer

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
