Wow! You are all doing great! I am finally home from my trip. San Diego weather would have been perfect for my rides (think 75 degrees) but I didn't have my bike. Now that I am home, I'm dealing with triple digit temps. How do you handle hot rides? I am having a really hard time talking myself onto my biked in this heat.0

How Do I Handle Hot Rides ? ... I Live in the UK, problem solved - now, handling riding in permanent rain and wind, that's my problem.0

Ok, I may be late, but am jumping in on this. I've wanted to get back on my bike, but have lacked the motivation. Here's hoping a little bit of accountability will help me get out there.0

bought a nice road bike 6 weeks ago, i'm at 1158 km so far (719,5 miles) . I just fell in love with riding the bike. Longest outing was 100Km (62 miles) . 54,7 hours total time on the bike, average of 13mph for a grand total of 36,601 calories burned :-) and with top of the line riding gears and a good saddle the butt will not be a problem. i've lost 51 lbs in 27 weeks, never felt better in my life.0
