Riding Mountain
Looks like i will be spending a lot of time riding in and around Riding Mountain Park because i just bought a seasonal camping site to park my trailer on. As funny as it sounds i have never rode a bike there.I hear it is pretty good. The reason i picked this area is because there is so much to do there not just for me but for the family as well. Now i just have to wait for the snow to melt.

Want to check your VO2 max? If you have a treadmill, then let the good times roll.
The length of time on the treadmill is the test score and can be used to estimate the VO2 max value.
This VO2 max test is a maximal exercise test where the athlete works to complete exhaustion ( or til you die ) as the treadmill speed and incline is increased every three minutes.
P.S..... Make sure that someone is with you so that if you die they can record your time.You don't want to die for nothing.
Stage 1 = 1.7 mph at 10% Grade
Stage 2 = 2.5 mph at 12% Grade
Stage 3 = 3.4 mph at 14% Grade
Stage 4 = 4.2 mph at 16% Grade
Stage 5 = 5.0 mph at 18% Grade
Stage 6 = 5.5 mph at 20% Grade
Stage 7 = 6.0 mph at 22% Grade
Stage 8 = 6.5 mph at 24% Grade
Stage 9 = 7.0 mph at 26% Grade
For Men VO2 max = 14.8 - (1.379 x T) + (0.451 x T²) - (0.012 x T³)
For Women VO2 max = 4.38 x T - 3.9
T = Total time on the treadmill measured as a fraction of a minute (ie: A test time of 9 minutes 30 seconds would be written as T=9.5).

Good News!!!!
You can finally ride all 7 days of the TransRockies solo.How do you ask? Well they now have a 3 and 4 day option so you just have to sign up for both and you can ride the hole thing solo because where the 3 day race ends the 4 day race starts.I remember emailing them about riding 7 days solo in 2009 and they said no way because of safety reasons.They must have got some better insurance or something.
