    New here , have done 3080 miles this year, so hopefully on track to meet my 6000 mile annual target. I try and cycle most days as am stuck at a desk all day working from home, so get I less walking around compared to an office.

    Final meetup before vacation. I am going to ride during it, but likely only 10 miles a day (or whatever's required to finish a Zwift climb portal ride - I'm taking my smallest dumb-trainer and a bike with me to use when we pull into our nightly campgrounds).

    Yes, I did in fact bring my trainer with me on vacation and am intending to set it up nightly behind the camper to get in some miles on the old bike I am hauling atop the car. Didn't bring the kid's bike, so no real rides (I'm not leaving her alone), but trainer rides are definitely in, especially when they take <30 minutes - I can knock one out while she takes her evening shower. :smiley:

    On camper vacation, Zwifting on the silliest setup of all time still. Today was the final day to get an event ride finished... and it's the last ride of this event, so it kind of had to happen. Thank goodness I got it out of the way! Just pace bots for me from now on lol (or maybe climb portals!).

    It's so nice to see more folks above 1000 miles! Great press!!

    Today I rode with a bot in Zwift. We're still roaming through the middle of nowhere in the camper, so all rides are done right now on a tiny phone and a bicycle mounted on a dumb-trainer. Weeeeeee!!

    Oh, forgot to log yesterday's ride, too, because my brain is made of butter.

    Oooo, off-road sounds like fun! (same with having a group that'll do long distance - I still am searching for something in my area. Bleh.)

    I am still in the middle of nowhere - just a smidge more east than before. Camper, tiny phone, dumb trainer and Zwifting in a truck stop parking lot for fun. (what can I say - at least I can't be pinged for not obeying whatever helmet laws whichever state I'm in has, as I'm on a stationary trainer and not rolling down the road! Plus can't go riding off into the sunset and abandoning my travel companion lmao)

    196 miles last week 10k elevation.

    Weight dropped 4kg in 3 weeks using the fast800 diet. 800 calories net, I eat more than 800 based on calories expended riding. I have a power meter so the figures are accurate. I average about 35-40 calories per mile depending on speed/hills.

    The goal is another 4kg before holiday in August, I won't have a bike on holiday but will switch to gym to maintain the weight until I come back.

    @IanTurner4588 That sounds like one heck of a diet plan! Kind of wish I had the discipline to stick to something like that. :sweat_smile:

    Yesterday's campground had such poor reception it was impossible to Zwift - rode on the roads instead, so it was quite slow (I refuse to go quick if I don't have a helmet - and silly me, I didn't bring one with me on vacation because I planned on Zwifting every day). But got my daily 10 in. Today was a planned Zwift ride up the new mountain in the climb portal. Good times. :smile:
