    Hi everyone--
    I'm a little late to the party, but am so happy to find like-minded folks. I bought my first bike since childhood this spring and i love it. My rides are usually somewhere between 15 and 20 miles, taking it slow and easy. Can't do more right now, trying to delay knee replacements for as long as I can.
    i don't remember other rides, but here's one at least

    July 6 - 21 miles (122 mins)

    Very excited: I am now training for the biking leg of a team mini-tri at our gym, so I'm focusing on getting the best time for 10 miles. Not so exciting: I tried to bike outside a few days ago and my tube popped, so I don't have any outdoor miles yet =(

    July Goal: 150 miles indoors, 25 miles outdoors
    July Miles to Date: 53 miles indoors

    July 10----10.5 mi stationary (45 min)
    July 8---7 mi stationary (30 min)
    July 5---18.5 mi stationary (85 min)
    July 3----10 mi stationary (45 min)

    Thinking I gotta step it up if I'm going to meet my goal this month. It's either too hot outside or storming or I'm too fatigued. I still don't like riding stationary. Wish I did.

    Do indoor miles count? I usually don't as it isn't the same.

    Back into riding after many years of being pampered in my car.

    First time out nearly killed me, but just bought a nice new road bike (Sensa Trentino SL 2013, 105 Compact group set)

    Lunchtime rides at work 8-9 miles & trying to get longer distances in during the evenings and weekends.

    Look a bit blobby in the Lycra but the padded bib shorts are something I could not envisage ever being without again.

    I made it out and rode 9.9 miles. Does anyone else get insanely frustrated to see that .9? I think that I will go ride laps in my little driveway just to put it at 10 miles even.:wink:

    My 5 mile route was actually 4.8 miles, but I added passing my house, going to the corner, and coming back, which adds that 0.2 miles to make it an even 5 mile route. :smile:

    Yes they count, for most of us.

    7/11 - 5.2 miles outside. I was bitten by a dog on today's ride. Not bad, but I had to pedal really hard when two dogs came after me. Cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and I should be fine. One of the dogs on my old bike route was killed today because it bit somebody (I had to change routes because two dogs kept trying to bite me). We have leash laws, but people don't seem to care.



    MTD 34.4 miles.
    Goal is 100 miles.
    Remaining is 65.6 miles.
