    Well i broke my goal, smashed it even!!

    I rode 41 miles this week, and i had pledged 20! :happy:

    I did my longest ride today of nearly 18 miles.... the longest i had done before was 8 miles.

    Any advice on how to stop my arms from aching so badly and cramping, this only happened in the last mile and a half though.

    I pledge 30 miles this week :happy:

    Good for you Jax!!! As far as your arms go, check to make sure you're not locking your elbows or gripping the bars too tightly. This is something I used to do and would have numbness in my hands and some aching in my arms. Maybe try to pay attention to that next time you ride and see if you notice a difference. Hope that helps :happy:

    I did not meet my goal this week. I was planning a ride today, but am a bit under the weather. If I do work up the motivation to ride later, I'll post again...:frown:

    Goal 125
    Actual 101

    Well I got in 75 (pledged 90), not too bad since I just started I guess, I'm pretty happy with that... I did some running too, I probably shouldn't have pledged so much! haha For this week I'm only going to pledge 50 cause my sister is in town and shes not a cyclist... unless I can count spin class! haha Have a great week everyone... :happy:

    I pledged 30 this week and did 20. We had out of town company and I was sick late in the week.

    I'm going to say 30 again and this time I'll make it.
  • I pledged 5 last time and made it right on.

    I'll do 5 again this week.
