    @SavageMrsMoose I am down for a group ride for sure. I mostly do Power Zone rides in my normal day to day. Favorite instructor is Matt Wilpers.

    But, I'm pretty flexible! I usually ride before work on weekdays as I share the bike with my husband (who loves cycling even more!!) and he's not a morning person. But again, I can be flexible... especially on the weekends.

    @SavageMrsMoose i usually ride evenings, or whenever on the weekend. I’m in the Eastern Std time zone.

    I’ve been too intimidated to try the Power Zone rides, but hubby and others have recommended it.

    Rest day for me to give my foot a break.

    @pridesabtch The FTP test is intimidating, but I generally do the power zone endurance classes which aren’t at all. Similar to a low impact but longer. I’m sure too much resistance would aggravate your plantar fasciitis. Have you ever tried the Strasberg sock? It’s helped me in the past. You can get it on Amazon. It forces you to sleep with your foot in a flexed position to help speed up healing.

    Yeah I have a sock. I used it when I had Achilles issues.

    When I clip in the PF isn’t bad. Strapping into the pedals just hit it funny last night when standing. Giving it today off has helped. Should be back at it tomorrow. Well assuming The hotel has a gym.

    Finally got back on the bike! What can I say - trying to do the 'whole body fitness' thing, so been doing running and weight lifting as well. Plus house obligations this week sucked away my time.

    Still, a ride in the outside world today (short and quite slow), and two Zwift rides indoors to finish up routes again (the game just added two new routes, and I loathe not having everything complete with the cycling portion of it :lol:)

    @RamblinRose1962 Never too late! (until, probably, December - I've personally done 1,000 miles in a month, but more would make my eyes /and/ my legs cry tears of blood)

    MAN, did it feel good to get back on the bike today! This running and total body fitness stuff is for the birds. 😆 (I say that, but my Wednesday bike ride's suddenly become a run because that's going to be a NYC day in Zwift and I'm doing a 1/2 marathon to finish a Strava challenge and a Zwift route that day. 😭)

    GRAAAAAAVEL BIIIIIIIIKE

    Sorry, couldn't be helped!!! (I need nice weather for gravel grinding too! Ugh!)

    Preparing for the Livestrong 150 challenge. :smile: Did a bit of prep today - seeing as how I'm planning on doing the entire distance in one shot, I need to figure out if the Volcano Circuit or the Volcano Circuit CCW will be faster for me. With vintage gearing on my Zwifting bike, gradients can make or break a ride, so gotta compare timed efforts.

    @ashleycarole86 - High five on the gravel bike!

    Didn't feel like doing anything today, but....even more, I didn't want to break my streak on the Peloton. So, just a couple easy rides.

    Peloton - 6 miles

    @Bill70sStrong Way to go!! I took a break from the bike today but kept my Peloton streak at least as I'm working through one of their total body strength programs... gotta say that I'm all kinds of sore!!!

    Back at it tomorrow.. can't wait

    @wendsg When is the event?

    Got on the trainer yesterday, but didn't record it, my Garmin pooped out on me. Starting this Saturday, I'm going to be doing trainer rides with a friend. She needs some company on her 3 hour sessions. I'm probably only good for 1.5 hours, but it's better than going it alone.
