    18 km on a stationary bike...



    The same again today. I have a pretty kick butt stationary bike. I ride it on days that I don't run - easier on the knees. I bike around 11 miles every time - I think that's 18km right?

    Okay so I did another 2 km. I am going to have to come up with a schedule because 2 km isn't going to cut it this far in.

    Total so far: 4 km.

    I will have to get to it when I my daughter is at school.

    Wow as I am reading everyone else's posts I am feeling more and more like a wimp.:frown: Do you guys have recumbant or upright bikes?

    Mine is recumbant and I find that I can go for longer on a regular bike. I thought that the style of bike I have now would be better but I don't love it.

    Maybe I need to slow down so I can go for longer distances? I am going to play with different methods b/c I gotta do better then this. Boo on me.

    I am using upright bike. I think it is difficult to go for longer distances on recumbent bikes. Dont worry, these numbers are for encouragement and for pushing ourselves more and more.

    Hi everybody, as the week ended, I have the results on a spreadsheet.
    Here is the question, though: how do I post a table in here? If I copy and paste you just see scramble text.
    How do people do that?

    I guess we need to ask Dell as he is maintaining the survivor challenge and weight loss charts. I will send him an email and see if he can help us.

    29.5 miles or 47.2 km! That is about all I had in the tank for today...

    Goal: 160
    Total so far for March: 80.8 km

    Looks like I might need to up my goal. :)

    Well I tried intervals today. Most of my biking was done at a 12-14 km/hour pace then I had had burst of 20-25 km/hr ( according to my bike at least)

    Today I was able to do 7 km.

    So grand total of 11 Km.

    Also watching a movie while doing it helps...not going to lie!!! LOL

    This is a big improvement from last couple of burns. Good job done!

    But there is still a chance of snow... 14 day forecast there is at least 1 day they expect snow. It was cold enough outside this morning that it felt like my eyeballs were going to freeze with the wind blowing in my face. Might have to get a pair of sunglasses to protect my eyes while riding. :) I do have a personal goal to hit 300 km's this month.

    And again...18km/11miles on 03/09...

    Snow again today - so looks like I'll be on the stationary bike a little big longer....

    Today: 31 miles or 49.6 km! :) Guess I am no longer a fair weather rider as I went through 2 downpours, a stiff 10 mph wind on the way back and over some patches of snow and ice before I had to turn back because it got too bad and almost crashed. So worth it!

    Total this month: 81.5 miles or 130.4 km
    3/4 - 33.6
    3/9 - 47.2
    3/16 - 49.6
