Who rode today, 7/19?
Welcome, TDSeest!
I rode just over an hour and a half in the heat. I didn't go that hard (11mph for a fat gal on a heavy bike) but I'm tired.
I haven't been keeping up with miles because I figured it would just depress me (I remember when 40 miles was nothing... now it's scary).
I hope your feet are alright, TeteDeLaCourse!
Be careful out there!

Checking in late this evening. 20 miles in 75min for 7/190

30 minutes for 7/19. I would have done more, but my Zumba classes started up again, today. Having been without for two weeks, an hour of it totally kicked my butt, today.0

Who rode today, 7/20?
Welcome, TDSeest!
I rode only 50 minutes, but it was very hard. I did my neighborhood hilly loop three times and did it in 4 minutes less than my fastest previous time. Not bad for a day on which I feel like crap.
I hope your feet are alright, TeteDeLaCourse!

I don't ride anything close to 100 miles per day! I do ride at least 10-15 miles per day. I own a hybrid with 38mm wide tires, slower than the pro- bikes, but it keeps my heart pumpin'. If it rains I use a recumbant bke. Since I don't have a cheering crowd that offers drinks, I wear a hydration backpack.0

Hi grandpa!
I wear a cambelbak when I'm riding longer than an hour or so since my bike only has room for one bottle cage (I'm very short and small frames can't handle two bottles). I love my camelbak. I put ice in it and the water stays cold for hours.
Our challenge is just to ride 30 minutes (or more) each day. 100 miles isn't needed! We can't all be Tour de France racers, of course.

Well with not being in my bike for a week, I am out of the "Tour" but will still ride the rest of the course.
Wed. 20th....5 mile, 35 minute townie ride, just rolling around ...with a 31 miles commute later today for work.0 -

Keep up the good work! Can you believe another Norwegian won a stage today? Amazing!

Hey gang!
7/20--another easy day with 12 miles in about 60 minutes around town.
I was getting ready to ride tonight and my knee popped and buckled so I am vegging on the couch with some ice right now - after 5 knee surgeries this is nothing new but with less than 3 days till the ride I am not going to press my luck!0 -

By the way, I'm thinking of doing a similar challenge during the Vuelta (August 20 to September 11).0 -
I rode another 7 miles tonight, starting at 10:00. While it was still humid, there was a nice breeze, and it helped keep things a little more cool. 409 Miles for the month now.0

Hope your knee heals up in time; I've always wanted to do the ride across Iowa, but the timing has never worked out for me...Hopefully, you can pull it off.0 -
I got in my 30 minutes for 7/20 -- barely! Started at 10:10 and went until 10:40. My legs are still sore from yesterday's Zumba class (first day back) and bike ride. Last night I had KILLER calf cramps in my left leg, so I'm sore from that as well. Definitely took tonight's ride easy at 12 mph (on bike trainer). Broke a little bit of a sweat and my heart rate only made it as high as 122. Guess I'm stuck with that until my body recovers a bit.0

Road 15.5 miles this morning; it is still hot and muggy. Hope all of you ride safely today...0

In for today, Thursday 21st.
19 miles....75 minutes....0 -
Unfortunately, no ride for me today. :grumble:0
