Happy New Year!

Cycle Starters (part deux):
On January 4th we started a new Cycle Starter's class.  This new Cycle Starter's II class is a 45 minute class with bike setup instruction at the beginning, about 15 minutes, a 15 minute ride and 15 minute cool down and debrief.  This is a great class for newcomers to cycling and those who have been away from cycling for awhile.  All levels of cyclists are welcome.

A few of our new riders purchased/received clipless pedal shoes for Christmas.  I'd love to hear your comments about your new shoes, so please send me a note.

As always, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or whatever, please drop me a note.  Following is a release from the government:


USDA RELEASES NEW ONLINE FOOD AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY TRACKER:
In response to comments that the previous online food and physical activity trackers were difficult to use and not interactive enough, the USDA released a new and improved tracking website, “SuperTracker”, on December 22, 2011. Unlike many other online trackers with similar features, the “SuperTracker” is offered free of charge.  Features include a nutritional database, a food diary, and a physical activity tracker that matches progress against national recommendations for weekly physical activity accumulation.
