If you are new to posting on this thread, or if you are new to cycling, We welcome you! If you are returning from a previous thread, We welcome you, too.

This thread is for anyone who rides a bicycle ... or unicycle, tricycle, tandem, etc.

Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? So you ride weekends? Do you spin at home or in the gym? Is Zwift your thing? Do you race crits, ironman, or centuries? Or, are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid? However you choose to push your pedal, you are welcome on this thread.

There's no set challenge across participants - this is a mixed-ability / mixed-experience / everyone welcome group. Just pick your own target that you want to achieve this month, post that when you join the thread, and post updates throughout the month as you're working towards your target.

Marching through March ...


(BTW - Thanks to @CricketKate for starting all this back in 2012)

    Weather in the UK has (sadly) returned to normal so the majority of my riding has been indoor training.

    I just got s bike in September for the first time in 35 years. I got used to it and got in a few rides for about 100 mi total before the weather turned bad. I was just getting comfortable in the road.

    Now I’ve had my bike out a couple times in the past week, fine tuning some things etc but I feel that in some ways I’m starting over again! I hope my comfort level returns quickly and that I’ll be ready for my tri sprint in early April. It’s only 13 miles, but I haven’t been that far since Nov.

    Just over 100 miles for the week, half indoors and half in windy conditions outdoors which were just a little too exciting. A big wobble at 30mph when a gust took away my front wheel was a bit of a buttock clencher!

    Ticked off 1,000 miles for the year this week too, a bit earlier than normal as this winter has given me more opportunities to ride outdoors than normal.

    I'm embarrassed to post😳. I rode 3.3 miles a few days ago and they were agony. I haven't been on my bike in a while. Today, I rode with my children to the park for a total of 4.6 miles and it was a humiliating experience. In the past, I've always had to ride the whole time with my hands on the brakes so I didn't outstrip them. Today, I struggled to keep up.

    It’s great you got out and are getting started again. No need to feel embarrassed.

    Welcome back and great to see a family riding together.

    Let some air out of the children's tyres perhaps? ;)

    My front tire is low, but I couldn't get any air into it. I'm going to the bike store on Monday to have them check the tube.

    Do you mean you can’t get any air into it at all, or you add air and it deflates immediately? The latter is probably the tube, the former is probably technique. 🙃

    Definitely technique! I thought my stem was broken. It didn't seem to matter how I tried the pump, no air was getting in. The guy at the bike shop said that sometimes pushing the stem in and out a couple of times, priming it, helps. Though, he did say that he had a lady last week who brought her bike in for the same reason and it turned out to be the pressure in the pump, not the bike or the user. 😔 My ignorant, inexperienced little psyche takes another hit. Oh well, maybe my bike will ride a bit easier, I'll take that win.😁

    Don't feel bad! The first time I tried to put air in my mountain bike tires, I had no idea the little stem thing had to be screwed up to allow air into it. My husband had a field day with that one...

    Air in the tires helped. I did the same ride that I struggled with last week, went a mile farther and knocked 5 minutes off of my time. It's still not much as I'm just starting back😳

    March 20: 3.3 miles
    March 23: 4.6 miles
    March 26: 4.23 miles

    March was a good cycling month for me due to mostly mild Spring weather.
    30 hours and 475 miles including completing my monthly Gran Fondo with a 70 mile ride in lovely warm and sunny conditions last Friday.

    Miles ahead of this time last year with 77 hours as opposed to 52 last year as I've been able to ride outside far more than usual.

    Do you mean you can’t get any air into it at all, or you add air and it deflates immediately? The latter is probably the tube, the former is probably technique. 🙃

    Definitely technique! I thought my stem was broken. It didn't seem to matter how I tried the pump, no air was getting in. The guy at the bike shop said that sometimes pushing the stem in and out a couple of times, priming it, helps. Though, he did say that he had a lady last week who brought her bike in for the same reason and it turned out to be the pressure in the pump, not the bike or the user. 😔 My ignorant, inexperienced little psyche takes another hit. Oh well, maybe my bike will ride a bit easier, I'll take that win.😁

    Don't feel bad! The first time I tried to put air in my mountain bike tires, I had no idea the little stem thing had to be screwed up to allow air into it. My husband had a field day with that one...

    Yeah, I did that the first time out this season too! DUH! 🤣

    So I didn't record a ride but got out on the mountain bike yesterday and played on some features like a pump track, jumps and a teeter! Prep for Moab!
