March Cycling Challenge

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.
That stinks that it wasn't in the condition you expected, but it will be fun to go to the bike shop and get the things you need. Every time I step foot in there, I feel like I'm at Saks 5th Avenue---nice to look/dream, but I can't afford anything there. My hubby buys all his cycling supplies (even our bikes!) online!0 -
I've set myself a goal of completing my first 'century ride' in the summer so I've started training for that.
My PB is 80 miles in a day and I'm thinking this might be the last chance to hit the 100 before my dodgy knee gives up on me.
Training this week:
40 mile ride on my hybrid last Sunday (frozen feet!)
40 min high intensity on Spinning bike
60 min low intensity on Spinning bike
Hope to get outdoors this weekend but weather forecast is grim....0 -

The only thing that I've ever gotten at the bike store was my bike, and it was on clearance. I have a warranty on my tires, so I will have them checked out and make sure they have no holes. I'm afraid that all my other supplies come from Wal-Mart.:laugh:0 -

Just the thread I was looking for. My goal for the month is to do 100km. I wish I could do it outside but we still have lots of snow here, so the stationary it is.
March goal: 100km
Done: 38km0 -
Inspired: Will be cleaning up my trusty GT mountain bike that has been neglected since Autumn last year. 0

I didn't set any goal this month since my computer is misbehaving and won't track indoor miles. But today I got to ride outdoors! I was mentally noting what trainer riding had affected or improved. Strength and endurance not as much as I hoped. But I would guess my cadence was up by about 10 rpm. I basing this on when riding a relatively flat stretch and checking it 2 or 3 times.
Cool.
Change your clocks tonight.0 -

Our weather has been weird, so I set my goal low. I also bought this bike subscription worried if I would use it enough...but I haven't stopped using it since the first day! I mainly go home because my partner needs a rest. We are going out of town, so if we are lucky we will get to bike.0 -
