Hello!

Got a peloton bike (and soon a peloton tread which is my Xmas present to myself) as well as a concept 2 rower.

Would love some friend to ride / compete against.

Cheers,

Sam

    Hi, Sam! Are you new here? If so, welcome to MFP!

    The Concept 2 web site is full of challenges, virtual teams, age group rankings for various distances, links to virtual competitions, and more. If you haven't, create yourself a logbook there, take a look in their forums for relevant threads, sign up for their e-newsletters, follow them on social media. For a commercial marketing-oriented organization, their social media presence is remarkably helpful and non-pushy.

    There are a few Concept 2 rower people here, but the only relevant MFP group I know of is pretty much inactive. If you want C2 rower competition and such, C2 is the place for it. MFP is great for general exercise/fitness camaraderie, nutrition, weight management, with a very friendly, helpful community, so also a great place to be for many reasons. Some of us are active in both.

    (I've been rowing since 2002, on-water and machine, and have competed in both modes. I've been active on MFP since 2015, using it for weight management (obese to healthy weight, now maintaining) & nutrition. I'm a li'l ol' lady, though, so I wouldn't be much competition for you on the C2 rower front 😆, though I might do OK if you were in the women's age 60-69 lightweight demographic . . . which you don't appear to be. 🙂 With apologies, I've got no info when it come to Peleton. I spin in non-pandemic times, and cycle a bit in summer, but I'm a rower, mostly.)

    I an at least one other rower are participating here regularly in this thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10705619/what-was-your-work-out-today

    Have fun with your equipment - sounds great! -- Ann

    I thought the point of Peloton is that it gives you all the community plus live classes.
