Biking In The Redwoods

The new rec center at school has finally opened. When I registered and applied to CSUB the rec center was scheduled to open early fall 2008. Then it rained so they pushed it back to January. Then in January it was obvious that it still was not finished, yet there was no new grand opening date set. So we all waited and did a little grumbling. I am sure that you can imagine how excited the campus was when the doors were officially opened April 30th.

I didn't get over for the grand opening but I was there a few days after. The only reason to have gone to the grand opening would have been for the free smoothie samples. But by waiting to go over I was not having to hunt for a free machine or be a work-out model for those touring the facilities.

The rec center is wonderful and I can forgive the delay in opening because of that. When you first walk in you are greeted by the rock walls. There is one giant one and two curved ones. There are also three indoor basketball courts with a suspended three lane track circling above them. There are a ton of cardio machines that have plug ins to listen to one of the many tvs on the tv tower. Very cool!

My current favorite feature is the stationary bikes because they are a step above your typical bike machine. These have tv screens that show the trail or path that you are biking and handlebars to steer. I am able to bike 2 miles through the redwoods with the benefit of air conditioning.



I am hoping to try out one of the many classes they offer sometime this week. Maybe bellydancing.
