I got a nice 8 mile trail ride in on Jan 2nd. Sadly the few inches of snow and blistering cold we now have is going to curtail my rides for the foreseeable furture0

I love to ride and want to take on more distance rides this year. I was a spin instructor but recently gave that up. Now I am looking for something to fill the void. I am currently riding on an indoor spin bike and use the Peloton app. It provides a virtual cycle class. It is excellent.
What do you do with this? Is this a goal setting challenge?1 -

You can use this forum for whatever you desire. Goals. Logging distance, and time. Asking questions. Posting up minutes. It's really up to the individual. There are no rules or guidelines. Nor is there any sort of a "challenge" required.1 -
Happy new year everyone!
I'll aim for at least 150km this month. If it doesn't snow too much and I find better gloves... I got a pair sold as "winter cycling gloves" for Christmas. But when I tried them on my way to work on Thursday, my hands were frozen after 2km, the cold started to really hurt after 4km, and when I arrived at work after 6km I nearly didn't manage to get my access card out of my jacket pocket to swipe it. The way home in the evening was every bit as painful...
04/01/2017 - 3.2km new chain test ride
05/01/2017 - 12.5km commute
07/01/2017 - 3.2km supermarket and back

Hello Everyone,
At the end of week one I have the following. I'm riding indoors with my bike on a trainer. Way tooo cold outside. I usually do a quick 15-20 minute walk/warm up on the treadmill before the cycling.
January 1st 12.7 miles/57:49 min
January 2nd 9.7 miles/41.47 min
January 3rd - walked on the treadmill; my body has to get used to the saddle again - no biking today
January 5th - 9.09 miles/41 min
January 7th - 9.07 miles/44 min
January Total Miles: 40.56
January Total Duration: 184.362 -
Trying to stick to my Trainer Road plan. I have a hard time staying focused on indoor rides longer than an hour. How does everyone here avoid boredom?
Jan 2: 9.3 mi, 45min. Thunderbolt - TrainerRoad
I have the bike set-up on a trainer in the basement in view of a TV. I also have an book holder attached to the bike, and have cycling training videos that I use either playing them on my IPad (that is set on the book holder), or DVDs I play. Lately I've rotating through some cycling training videos on the IPad and while on the bike I watch shows that I've DVRd. This typically helps me through the time.1 -

Welcome to all of the newcomers. Between weather, preparing for holiday company, and the holidays, I got no rides logged in December and I am itching to get back on the bike. @SteveCro challenged me to ride in the cold last year and I see that he is at it again. I don't know if I can man up and ride in the tempatures that he is, but I want to get back outside. Not going to commit to a mileage goal, I'll just take what I can get.1
