My numbers for today are probably inaccurate. My Garmin is doing strange things and may be failing. I can't complain as It's about 6 years old.

Howdy!
Stationary bike and road bike mix: goal is 3 rides/ week, 10 miles min /ride. When I can't ride, will do treadmill or ellipticals
week of Feb 3: 27.5 miles 2 rides - time 2 hrs, 20 min.
week of Feb10: 21.4 miles 2 rides time 1 hr 25 minutes
SO far this week 10 miles. 1 ride 40 minutes

WEEEEEEEEE!

I've not been able to track trainer miles as either my Garmin or the cadence sensor is biting the dust. I'm going to see if I can get a new sensor, the cheaper of the two, and see if that will cure the problem.

I'm in. I've been doing an exercise bike for about a week. Trying to do 5 miles every day and increase the pedal pressure by a factor of 1 each day (scale from 1-20). Long term goal is to be able to bike to the beach (summer) which is about 30 miles away. Did it 25 years ago but that was 25 YEARS AGO!!!

Great plan! Good luck/happy training!
