Re: RideCamp: Reconditioning rider

Hi Stacy - just want to emphasize that you really, really do need to
improve your own muscle tone.  Linda's regime is scary, but I bet it's
just as good as she says.  We don't have a gym within 150 miles of us,
and we don't ski (tho someday...) so any ideas other than those would be
interesting to see.  I once did a 100 after 8 or 10 months off, and boy
was that a mistake.  I wound up with red urine, just like a tied up
horse, and felt like a tied up horse too.  NOT recommended!  What about
those exercises I've heard about where you use a big beach ball?  Or
something?  Lif
