    Roadie. Pounding out miles on Zwift right now. There are several members of our race team IRL on MFP. We use the platform to track calories and encourage each other in getting down to race weight before team camp the last weekend in February.

    Road. Mostly not during the winter though (except for the freak warm weather this weekend).

    So you had the warm weather. I had minus temps and fog on the Sunday which I was meant to do 5 hours on the road. So did 5 on the turbo the old school way of no zwift just the mind and my thoughts. At times it has to be done. This is when having targets to reach comes into play

    I'm usually able to ride even thru thr winter months, but I just don't have the motivation to get out there in the cold and dark any more. So I've been hitting the gym to work on strength and endurance which may be more helpful anyway.

    After a very busy winter, I kind of eased off this spring (November) ... but now that summer's on and the weather is acting like it, I'm building back up again. :)

    I just started my road back to 180 lbs. Gained 15 pounds after a road cycling accident. 1 week hospital and 5 weeks off the bike. now it's holidays etc. Soooo trying to ride (mostly indoors) and diet. 65 years old and you would think I wouldn't still be trying to lose weight.

    Me!

    I'm an MTBer at heart but also dabble in road and garage (Zwift) cycling. Thinking of doing a coast to coast this year.

    48, shoulder surgery (Grade 5 AC Separation), 12 pounds gain, and 2 months off the bike but no hospital stay. *kitten* happens but all's forgiven once saddled backup. Hope to hit the road in two months just when the fair weather shines. If you haven't try Zwift, it makes the time disappear. Takes some discipline not to contest every hill or jump on every wheel that passes. ;)

    Wish I had a picture of them on my bike that wasn't terrible. The days are short here and the weather isn't so photogenic.

    But I got Enve's new wheel, the 4.5 All Road. They're very very wide for road rims. Set them up tubeless.

    I put Shimano Ice Tech Freeza rotors on them.

    I'm a keen roadie. I use MFP to track calories and keep energised for those long days in the saddle. Cycle all year round, and happy to ride through rain. Feel free to follow add whatever for motivation and support. Keep turning the pedals.

    Me! January/February is my off season as I live in Chicago so right now, lifting and running. 200+ miles per week during season

    Chicago cyclist also, love the North Branch Trail, much quieter than lakefront. I've got mine on the bike trainer. The only thing that sucks is that I'm using a trainer tire which isn't made for roads so I can't use the bike outside on the abnormally nice day during the winter.

    Can't go wrong with Mavic. Prices can be reasonable and they are bomb proof.

    Wow, a friend of mine just had his bike stolen right out of his driveway. So sad.
