    Oh, oh I'm both most of the time. Not quite as up right now as usual, but I'll be back to normal soon with any luck.

    Awesome! Im training for my first bike tour on July 7th. It's 20 miles. I've never done an actual organized ride before. It should be fun, Its going all around my neighborhood and a few surrounding. It'll be nice to be able to ride around NYC without having to worry about getting hit by a car lol
  • I am an awesome cyclist, I have done several endurance races, the last two being centuries. I just bought a mountain bike, a diamond back response and am now training for my first race in June. I also run, I have ran several 5ks and will be running my first 1/2 marathon in May. I would love to add anyone looking for cyclists and runners.

    I cycled +3000 miles last year, I'm shooting for a target of 1,000 miles this month and I got a couple of century sportives lined up for May/June.
    I started commuting 50 miles per day during the warmer/lighter/drier months last year, trying to make it more often than not this year, aiming for a 6000 mile year target.

    I ran my first half marathon in March '13, might try and go for a full one next year, not decided yet?

    feel free to add me!

    Feel free to add me. I started cycling last week after a few years of not doing so, on my old mountain bike, which is unfortunately small for me now, but I'm getting a new one tonight hopefully. And I'm awesome too!

    I'm awesome, and a casual biker. I started bike commuting 8 miles to work last year, and took the winter off. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle again. Add me if you like.

    Would you consider an exercise biker????? I also go out around the local resivour on my mountain bike and try and get other rides in (with good weather) but a wimp with hills and roads.

    I just got my bike out for the first two rides of the year this weekend! The term awesome is generally accepted in my circles as the perfect word to describe me haha. Would definitely love to add other people into cycling. Looking to do my first sprint tri in July. I could use some motivation and would love to help others!
    If you're cat 3 or above please don't add me though haha. My rides would look pathetic.

    Fixed gear just means no coasting. Basically if my legs stop pedaling, my bike stops moving. For me, its a better way to make sure I am exercising the entire time Im on my bike.
