    I'm cycling across the USA this year (mostly virtually). Almost 400 miles into my 3069 mile ride from NYC to San Francisco, via my hometown of Chicago!


    That's a good way to do it, hey at least you get to sleep in your comfortable bed each night lol

    I ride the bike trainer in the winter (which, of course, gets very boring and precludes LONG rides) and get outside when the weather is better.

    I have a friend that did a century on a trainer.

    I can't imagine...

    I'm at 985 since Jan.1st. Should hit the kilo today! Woo Hoo! Unfortunately, nearly all of it has been on rollers. Our first group ride scheduled for President's day was snowed out. 4500 for the year should be manageable barring injury (although the last two years running I've managed to bear hug a tree on the downhill course and break my ribs).

    Y'all can do it!

    I did about 1,001 miles from July to December (and very few before that). So I'll like to exceed that in 2012, for sure.

    I ride the bike trainer in the winter (which, of course, gets very boring and precludes LONG rides) and get outside when the weather is better.

    :bigsmile:

    So far, I have biked 180 in January and 200 miles in February. I'm hoping for another 200 in March. We've had some very mild weather in February so about 50 of those miles have been outdoors. Yeehaw!

    You can totally do it!!! I did about 500 miles down ( and up, so many hills!!! ) the Oregon coast in 6 days with Bicycle Adventures, and I am not a good rider. I miss ridding, it is such good exercise. Good luck!!!! I know you can do this!

    I got an exercise bike last weekend and did 60 miles this week. Is it better for weight loss to go further with a lower resistance or try a higher resistance even if I can't go as far but burn the same number of calories? Also, if I want to add intervals, should they be intervals at a higher resistance, higher speed, or both? I need to lose another 20-25 pounds and am also doing some strength training. Thanks!

    I'm at a puny 98.8 miles for the year. Not sure if I'll make it but interesting to track it and try. Plus it's finally cycling weather (for wimps like me who don't like to bike in the cold)

    ....but you are cycling, which is what really matters
