4/5 - 30 minutes indoors on the trainer. Simulated hill climb every 3 to 4 minutes. Nice burn in my legs when I got done. Will get out at least once this week for a 15 miler or so depending on time.
Keep those pedals moving!

This sounds like the place for me. Excited for spring to be here and and looking forward to spending many hours on the bike this spring / summer. In the past I've done casual biking on my mountain bike, but received a hand-me-down road bike last month when my brother went out and bought a newer fancier model. I have the bike inside on my trainer and try to do 30 minutes a day 3 or 4 times a week and will be getting out once or twice a week for rides in at least 15 miles in length (did 15 with my bro the day before Easter).
I can thank biking for helping me lose 85 pounds the first time around and will turn to it to help me take off the 50 pounds I put back on since then!!!
I will be biking in the Pan/Ohio Hope Ride this summer to raise money in the fight to cure cancer. It is a 328 mile trip over 4 days throughout the state of Ohio. I've got a lot of work to do!
Monthly Goal: 150 Miles on top of getting some training done in the house when I'm home with the kids on the bike trainer!

Average speed was 13.1 today only because I was late for work and then it started to get too dark on the ride back home. And now I know I'm really not ready to maintain 13 mph yet! :noway:0 -
