FAIRFIELD COUNTY, Conn. – Summer is drawing to a close, but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty of time to stay fit outdoors in Fairfield County.
With the forecast calling for warm temperatures and sunny skies later this week, you don't have to stop your summer exercise routine just because the leaves are changing.
Three fitness trainers — Chris Thomas of Personal Training Professionals in Southport, Matthew Snow of Trek Bicycle in Fairfield and Megan Kelly of Target Training in Greenwich and Westport — give tips on running, cycling and competing in triathlons.
Today, Thomas gives some basic tips for improving your next bicycle ride. He also talks about Cyclo-Cross, a fairly new off-road cycling sport that takes place in the fall and winter. Check back Friday for another fitness tip.

No better way to stay fit BUT I hear from many who ride that motorists are rude and present a danger when they ride. Well seems like rules of the road don't apply to folks on bikes. Numerous times while driving I've had cyclists blow through stop signs, do not signal for turns, make left turns from far right lanes in front of vehicles and hardly ever ride single file. Respect will be given to folks on bikes if they would apply the same rules to their riding experience that motorists have to follow! Be careful out there!!!
