\nHere is part 2 of Aaron Madrid\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcCentury\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 series. You can check out the first installment here and keep your eyes peeled for further editions.\u00c2\u00a0 Today @AaronMadrid talks about training and preparation for your event, both physical and mental and how #30daysofbiking helped motivate him so much!<\/p>\n

So you have an event picked out, now it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s time to start thinking about training.\u00c2\u00a0 I know not everyone is like me, but like I mentioned previously, a support group can really be a valuable asset.\u00c2\u00a0 My support group came from four locations.\u00c2\u00a0 I discovered this very website where you are reading this article now at the beginning of my cycling journey.\u00c2\u00a0 I subscribed to the…<\/p>\n

\nAs , I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve just started commuting to work on two wheels.\u00c2\u00a0 My commute is a relatively short distance, the ride is long enough to where I can feel my heart getting a work out but not so far that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m dripping in sweat by the time I arrive.<\/p>\n

I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m taking neighborhood arterials that are well traveled by fellow cyclists, so most vehicles are accustomed to seeing and sharing the road with folks like me.\u00c2\u00a0 As an added bonus the traffic is light on the roads I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m taking, at least at the hour when I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on them.\u00c2\u00a0 Each has two lanes (each way) so cars have an easy time…<\/p>\n

\nSunday was just creeping into Monday when Todd Codish decided a cool bike ride after midnight would be a good thing to do. The Carrollton, Texas man lives and breathes cycling, as well as running and swimming; he’s a professional triathlon coach.<\/p>\n

As he approached the stand-alone garage where he and his wife, Kristen, keep their nine bikes, and opened the garage door, he saw people running out from the other side. It was a break-in. When he assessed the damage, four of the couple’s premium racing and…<\/p>\n
