    Welcome back, BigYin! I seem to remember you from last summer. You were one of the first people to join my cycling threads.:happy:

    I'm just popping in to say hi. The sun is shining and we've finally reached a balmy 30 degrees. I'm afraid that I'm rather a fair weather cycler. No snow rides for me. Unfortunately, I don't have access to an indoor bike and didn't learn about trainers until spring was on the horizon and I didn't want to spend the money if I was going to get outside again. :blushing:

    Keep up the fantastic work, Everyone!

    Got my first ride of March in! 10 miles---although I'm feeling great this week so what usually takes me 60 min now takes me 50 (less cals burnt!) but that's a good problem to have! May have to do a couple extra miles just to buffer for the days when the baby/uterus isn't cooperating =)

    March/April Goal: 150 miles (before my due date in early May)
    Goal Completed: 10 miles (6.5%)

    March 5---10miles (50min)

    Back in. My only goal this month is to beat last month's total, which shouldn't be too hard, theoretically. Trying to up the mileage though to be competitive in theBigYin's classic challenges and not finish DFL (I guess that's better than DNF though :wink: )

    Mar 1: 10.7
    Mar 2: 25.2
    Mar 4: 0.9 (flat tire on way out the door :angry:)

    Count me in. I have a target of 400 miles a month, but did not hit it in January and February due to bad weather and illness. Hoping to make up some (if not all) of the deficit this month. Mileage so far is:

    01/03/2013 - 31.4 miles - 2 commutes
    02/03/2013 - 12.5 miles - for pleasure
    04/03/2013 - 21.0 miles - 2 commutes
    05/03/2013 - 31.5 miles - 2 commutes

    Total so far 93 miles. YTD total is 700 miles.

    Month target 400 miles. TD target is 1200 miles.

    Think I'll join. I'm running an Advneture Race in the middle of April that contains 40 miles of Mt Biking; I need to get some saddle time during March. I rode between 21-22 miles this past weekend. I'll be looking to double that this weekend, and when DST starts I'll be riding during the week too. I prefer mountain, and I need to train mountain. But I'll ride on pavement for convience. My aluminum steed is a Specialized Rockhopper that's 10 years old, but has had virtually everything upgraded or replaced on it.

    (all indoors, too much snow here!)

    Mileage so far...
    9.6

    And I need to find a trail-a-bike for my youngest so we can hit the state park trails once the weather warms up (it doesn't warm up here for another month or so and her training wheels make it TOUGH on dirt/rock trails)

    I am in. I love cycling and usually do 2000 outdoors road miles a year. I am way behind this year with an indoor riding total of 74 miles (only 8 for March). I hate riding my bike inside in the trainer so I usually start outside riding on March 1st. My husband had a total hip replacement in mid January and got clearance to start riding a stationery bike at the end of February. He has been riding my bike in trainer so I have not been able to take it out. Yesterday he got clearance to start driving so he can go to his gym now, which means I can get outside on my bike!

    Does anyone ride in rain?

    When it is warm, I love to ride in the rain. when it is cold, not so much!

    I got my bike out yesterday. It is still freezing, but the roads are clear of snow (until today's storm). I have 2 flat tires and the air pump that I have doesn't have the right connecter. I definately need to get better supplies. I'm hoping to have a field trip to the bike shop this weekend to get the bike looked over and ready for riding again.
