Ok, Team Charlie riders, I'm ready!
I may not have a fancy-schmancy indoor trainer (I do have trainer envy though) but I have officially dusted off my Schwinn, pumped the tires and taken her out for Spring test ride.
Let the fun begin!

"Spring Training"
Papi, Pedroia, Youk and Paps aren't the only ones who are "gettin' it done" this Spring. 
Ta and I have dusted off the ol' bikes and have hit the ground running... well, maybe hit the ground jogging, or at the very least we've hit the ground at a light trot, but make no mistake, we have officially hit the ground!
For Spring break, we headed south to Ft. Myers, FL to take in a few Red Sox Spring Training games. While we were in the area, we hopped over to Sanibel for a lovely 13-mile bike ride through the Ding Darling Wildlife Sanctuary.
The rental bikes were not quite what we're used to (but, hey, I could get used to a ginormous seat with crazy shock absorbance... and the basket was pretty handy, too) and there were many stops along the way to check out various avian species.

All in all, we completed the trek in just over 2 hours.

Since we've been home we've renewed our resolve to keep to our training schedule of 30min/day on our trainers (that doesn't exactly mean we've been doing it, but at least we have a renewed resolve to do it). 
And yes my bike does still have it's 2008 Memory Ride number on it (i.e., no, I have not gone for a ride since July 26, 2008.
Team Charlie was amazing last year, raising a total $11,427.25.
This year, we welcome Jim Morlando to the team, so barring any injuries, we should have at least 8 riders!!!

Not Quite Biking Weather
Well, we were all set to start our training for the 2009 Team Charlie ride... but then...
it snowed. So instead we finally got a chance to cross country ski. Hey, it's cross training right?
Anyway, both Nancy and I are now officially enrolled in this year's incarnation of TEAM CHARLIE. I noticed we have already slipped from second to fifth place. But of course we haven't even gotten started yet. So, we hope to see some more names up on the Team Charlie roster soon to keep Hootie, Sarah, Nancy and I company.

Meanwhile, we're gettin' it done, frosty style!
