To the person asking about fuel- i recently heard that fig newtons have the same carb ratios as expensive energy bars. I have tried gels and the Cliff shot bloks. Both gave me stomach cramps. Next long one I'm trying the Newtons. I'm not big on figs, but I think the other flavors are probably the same. I have reactive hypoglycemia, so I always have to carry something.
At least the newtons are cheaper0 -
So sad that our weather isn't allowing outdoors biking. I think that I can get in some this afternoon as it is to be dry.0

Okay a lot of you guys are really into this and I can only strive to achieve your miles but I am happy with what I (we) accomplished this weekend. I did my first ride of over 10 miles. Hubby rode with me and we did a local trail racking up a whopping 11 miles!
I'm ecstatic!!!
Your acclomplishments are great. Some of my best rides this year are shorter ones my wife did with me on a neighborhood trail. We pack a lunch ride 10 or so miles, eat and have a beer and ride back. Don't be imtimated by our miles. Your riding is for your personal goals and your health. You are not competing against us so stay riding, have fun, and keep breaking those goals.

12 miles of intervals with Coach Troy tonight.
That bring total mileage for Aug to 28.5 miles.0 -
Checking in: My goal is SPIN Bike: 20 minutes 3x a week for week 1
Ok so I hopped on the bike tonight and I lasted 12 minutes.
I'm pretty embarrassed to put that out there but I own it.
I counted 75rpm and kept that speed for most of my ride with less than a minute cool down. Then I stretched for a while
I have a DVD I'm going to use tomorrow (my husband swears he knows where it is lol) and I think that will make a huge difference in my stamina. I need a proper warm up and cool down with someone telling me to keep the pace, etc, etc.
I need to go help my husband look for the dvd now :grumble:0 -
In. I don't have a mileage goal set. I'm just doing a lot of base miles for the upcoming cross season with a weekly visit to the hurt locker.
