Cycling Rant:

Cycling is a social sport.

People, most of "us" are friendly. We don't bite. We will help if asked and can offer constructive advise based on years of experience. However if you act unfriendly or mean "we" will show you just how little you know about cycling.

End of rant.

Just hopping in to say Hi! I'm afraid that children's schedules and early nights have pretty much killed my rides. I'm glad that all of you are still here. Keep going!

Hi CricketKate! It's hard when you have little ones to get in all that you want to do- I remember those days
Thanks so much for starting this thread- I made my goal of 200 this month

Hi Mat,
Sorry that something happened to cause the rant, but I just wanted to say that I LOVE fellow cyclists who are more experienced than I am. The few times that I have struggled through the MS 150 bike ride, I have received such great support from the ones like you who are far more experienced than me and in much better shape. When I did it in October, overweight and huffing and puffing up each blasted hill, it was the encouragement from others that kept me going! You guys help us newbies both online and and in the real world, and I appreciate you. I'm hoping to get good enough to join a local cycling club here. I'm loving seeing all of you rack up the miles- it keeps me inspired

I agree keeps me inspired- I don't ask much because I get to sleep with an experienced rider every single night lol he has ridden since 92 and this- (me riding) has been a dream of his for years- I am so proud to be riding now - I just had to come to it on my own in my time. I have to say my dh is so thrilled he bought an old 70something schwinn 3 speed so he could ride with me and not be clipped in- we did our first ride together around the speedway yesterday and it was hard for me but so awesome... I am so thrilled to be able to come here and post my accomplishments- I know they may not be much to some but I am pulling 338 lbs around and believe me they are a LOT lol to me. But I appreciate everyones accomplishments and I appreciate them so much more.

My goal 70 (it was 60)
So far 82.11+ 3.28 for todays ride ride = 85.39
Well at this point I'll just see how far I can go before Dec 1 gets here

my side note goal 125.28 miles total on bike now shooting past 130 by dec 1

Happy Pedal Pushing Y'all

Great job everyone!!

I only just stumbled across this thread! LOVE the idea of an off season challenge for my cycling. I ride from March to Sept., but then it gets too cold, wet and dark for me, so I quit. This year I have been planning to set up the thingy inside for my bike, (thingy is the technical term, dontcha know?) but I haven't had time to junk out the basement yet. A challenge would get me there! Are you doing this for December too? I've got to put on another 200k to make 3000 for the year. I'm excited now, I'm gonna do it!
