To be fit and healthy you need to be physically active.
Regular physical activity can help protect you from serious diseases such as
obesity, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, diabetes and arthritis. Riding
your bicycle regularly is one of the best ways to reduce your risk of health
problems associated with a sedentary lifestyle. Cycling is a healthy,
low-impact exercise that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, from young
children to older adults. An estimated one billion people ride bicycles every
day - for transport, recreation and sport. Over this 5-week period,
participants will work up to a 10 mile bike ride along 5 local trails. Learn
the rules of the road, how to inflate tires to maximize ride, necessary vs
optional equipment to enhance your ride, and how to navigate alone, as well as
with other riders. Participants will meet in the tennis court parking lot each
week.
Purpose: Strengthen your endurance and get familiar with
local bike trails
