Training

Interesting topic; I approach biking rather casually (I bike mostly to keep up with my sons) but I do find that with combined rowing and biking, I am losing back flexibility and getting stiffer in general.

Weight Loss/ Weight Control

All-- many thanks for the encouragement. <br /><br />Jim S, no worries. If the ranking is by yards and not averages-- fine by me! Then count me in. (And yes, I did 'rejoin'.) <br /><br />Grace: I am using gel freezer packs for icing treatments but it sounds like you mean the heel cushion type of gel...

Hi, <br /><br />I am working at weight loss. I bought my model D in March. I love to row but I also bike, so during good biking weather I don't row much. Now I am laid up with plantar fascitis.... so.... while I did join the RPRG team, not wanting to be a load in the boat I went back to "no affiliat...

Greetings oarsmen and oarswomen...<br /><br />I rowed for UNH women in the early eighties, by turn 7-seat novice, then 3 and later 5 varsity. At the time I supported my rowing habit by majoring in physics. My mortgage now has me on the hampster-wheel of software engineering. <br /><br />Off-hours I ...

Way back in 1982, the Model A was just... totally... awesome. I look back on them *very* fondly. The club bought a pair of them for winter workouts.
