getting in shape for the spring riding season

[shifty]

As many Northeast riders are coming out of hibernation, I was wondering what I could do to get in riding shape besides riding. Today I ran 3/4 of mile then I ran some steps. My legs felt like jello. I know soon as I get out there I'm going to get some nasty arm-pump. What type of work out would help?

I'm doing the same thing running on my new treadmill to get my endurance up better than last year. I lift weights too, but I can't right now because I got a nasty stiff neck. I seem to get one every year or so.

Hibernation? Do y'all have "winter" up there?
