Yes, I do ride a bike however, I will be skating on my 5-wheel inline skates.

A combination of jogging 3-5 times per week and skating 3-5 times per week sometimes doing both on the same day. I am very active and I usually exercise 6-7 days a week. I take vitamins and rarely eat junk food. The exception is chocolate however, I do not consider chocolate junk food.

Taking time off work.

None, after skating in a race at Laguna Seca Raceway and surviving several laps down the \"corkscrew\". I am excited about this ride/skate.
