Confessions of a Bikeaholic

Ok. So now you know it. I am addicted to cycling. If you know me on a personal basis, you are well aware of the fact that I can talk cycling all day long.  You may also know that I live to hang out in bike shops. I go there to purge my impure thoughts about sexy bikes and rides, as I flirt with all of the young hot mechanics.

I am so obsessed with the sport that for my 50th birthday I bought a carbon road bike fully equiped with dura ace components. It was a toss up between the Orbea Diva and the Specialized Ruby Pro. I went with the Ruby Pro since it was a better deal (last year’s model).

I took this Ruby out for a demo ride yesterday and it lives up to its reputation. It is a true gem, a delight to ride. I had a hard time parting with it after the ride that I decided to buy it. You may be wondering or asking: “How come you didn’t go custom?” Well, since I don’t have fitting issues, I figured that I’d save some bucks and go with the Ruby Pro. I’m sure that I’ll be happy. Who knows maybe for my 60th, I’ll build my custom dream bike.  Oh no – I just realized that I’ve run out of reasons to hang out at bike shops!!

What do you think of when the word fitness comes to mind? What images and thoughts appear? What are you doing in that moment? Is it enjoyable or are you just going through the motions? Beth's philosophy is that fitness should be fun, goal-oriented, realistic and integrated into daily life, regardless of age, gender, health and level. Attitude is everything when it comes to health and fitness. She inspires and motivates every individual to utilize their greatest gifts: their body, heart and mind, by creating a dynamic and functional program that incorporates fitness into everyday life. The days of tedious and monotonous workouts are over! Instead, you get an exhilarating program that suits you. Variety is the spice of life! Participating in a lifelong fitness program that excites you, empowers you, and reflects you and your goals is your ultimate health and fitness success story. The real question is: What do you imagine for yourself now — at whatever stage you may be in your life?
