I'm just popping in to say Hi! I am still having trouble with my shoulder since my crash:grumble: so I haven't been out on my bike. My sweet husband, who thinks that I should be walking around in a plastic bubble, says that if I crash when I'm feeling great I shouldn't ride if I'm not feeling great.:noway: I'm hoping to make it out this weekend. I hope that you are all meeting whatever goals you have set. Have a great day!0

Hi- I have been cycling as my main form of exercise due to plantar fasciitis putting a nix on the running thing. Would love to be part of this group. Is there an app to track miles for biking?
Thanks! Not sure what to set my goals for here as I have been just going for time til this point.
Sorry that I missed this, I'm glas that someone answered your questions. I use an app called Strava to track my rides. As far as goals go, there is no specific goal that I recommend. My only suggestion is to do your best and then try to improve on it.0 -
up to 33 miles so far this month and a 12 mile ride tomorrow Yay0

Haven't read the other responses, but I use a cheapo speedometer I got at Target since I don't have a smartphone.0 -
Please count me in on this challenge
I recently completed a cycle ride from London to Paris with my wife and I lost in the region of 6llbs in 4- 5 days, this sounds a long way to ride BUT my wife had never cycled that distance before and it was a great journey being able to cycle through the French countryside and then into Versaille http://en.chateauversailles.fr/homepage and then through the forests that surround Paris. Seeing the Eiffel tower for the first time while we were about 10 miles way from the centre of Paris was such a wonderful moment
My advice to anyone beginning cycling is just start small, ride to the end of your street, road and back again and progress from there
if anyone would like to friend me please feel free
1st Sept 32 Mile
2 Sept 16 miles/went out in the late afternoon and evening as well added 46
3 Sept 16 miles commuting
4 Sept 12 miles commuting
6 Sept 16 mile commuting (8 miles each way
8 Sept 34miles --cycling with my wife through the English Countryside
9 Sept 16 miles commuting (8 miles each way)
10 Sept 16 Miles 8 miles each way)

Hey all, would love to join the community! Got into cycling in July as an adjunct to my running - I needed something cardio to do on days I don't run. I've actually enjoyed the rides more than the running! I do a few half-marathons a year and am now aiming for triathlons next year. Have my first century ride coming up on Oct 5, very much looking forward to that. I try to do most of my rides with climbs - I really like the climbing and try to aim for routes with 2,000ft or more. My goal is to do 100+ miles/week. I've been on the under of my goals the last week and half - my riding buddy is out of the country for vacation so I've got to turn it up a bit!
9/4 - 55mi, 3,500ft elevation gain
9/6 - 38mi, 1,675ft elevation gain
9/10 - 42mi, 1,800ft elevation gain
I'm on Strava and RideWithGPS if anyone wants to hook up!0 -
