I bought a new mountain bike, so I have relegated my rowing to bad weather days.
One of the great things about the rower is that that company, Concept 2, has an incredible customer service department. The rower will last forever if I take care of it and replace parts when they wear out (and most parts are extremely durable and cheap to replace).
I’m not able to enjoy indoor workouts. I, too, am a cyclist. I’ve always ridden long distance rallys, 60-100 miles, all summer and never really had any problem.
Until the last couple of years. As I near 60 years on this rock I have found riding 60 miles in 85-90 heat is a butt whooping. I just don’t seem to be able to hydrate enough. I think I need to blow off the fancy sports drinks and go back to just plain ice water in my Camelbak, that is what I always end up craving.
And a couple of pickle juice shots for when I take breaks.
