Coaching, running youth multisport clinics, being a dad & husband...has to share time with training for IM events. So this year I will focus on getting most of my bike training through commuting, group rides, and trainer WOs. Here is a pic of what I ride 4 days/week. I take my son to school in his trailer, using my old MTB. With old bike + trailer + son's weight, I am increasing my weight load by approximately 60lbs...not to mention increased rolling resistance + wind drag. I also take him on a weekly group ride of about 20miles and pull him behind one of my old road bikes. Average speed for this ride is about 15mph. Other nice thing about including my little guy...he gets to be with dad, plus also gets exposed to an active lifestyle. So if you are pressed for time, or have little ones...don't let that stop you. Include them, be creative, and have fun along the way. You might be surprised of the benefit of these rides!
