Ab Wheel
About a month ago I saw this Ab Wheel at a reduced price on the internet. I'd been considering giving one of these a try for awhile, so I bought it.
When it arrived, it was a lot smaller then it had appeared on the web-site. For $10.00, I wasn't going to sent it back, so I started using it.
It works OK, but I wanted something more burly. Enter the Wheel Barrow tire!
This thing has been kicking around the yard for a few years. I didn't want to throw it away thinking I would use it someday for something. I cleaned it up, put a new rod through it and put on some handles. I made the handles a little long because someday I might want to put stirrups on them to use this thing with my feet.

The entire ride was done on the big chain ring in gears 10 thru 16 on a 16 speed Specialized Tricross. All the hills were rode in gears 11 - 14.
I had planned on resting for a few days at the end of April for a little recovery time. Because of work related issues that leeched away extra time and energy, those few days turned into eight.
So, I was surprised today at how well I felt and at the level I rode.
