Tonik Cycling: From the Runway to the Roadway

July 15, 2020 by braveskimom

cycling with friends on colorado national monument

I’m a cyclist, but not a very good one. I’m a pretty strong rider, but not a very consistent one. Last summer, when I told friends that I’m training for the Venus de Miles Century, some looked at me as if I was crazy and others asked me technical questions about the training. I’m way […]
