    wow that's amazing.. excellent work miles put in.. def want to get on that level...:)
    Thanks. I definitely worked up to it. I've only been dieting a month or so, but I've been riding since 2008.
    so whey you say fixed gear rides are you riding in a low or high gear continuous? thanks
    Fixed gear means that the cog on the back wheel is fixed to the wheel so that if the wheel is spinning, so is the cog, and so are the pedals. In other words, I can't coast. As long as the bike is rolling, I'm forced to keep pedaling. Most fixed gear bikes have only one gear- whatever it's set up with. There are special fixed gear hubs available that have internal gearing so you can have three speeds but still be fixed gear. Those are pretty rare though. Most fixed gear bikes have a single speed.

    I actually have six bikes, but do most of my riding on three of them. The fixed gear bike gives me the best workout because I'm always moving, but if I'm riding with a fast group, I can't keep up in the hills. Going up hill, I can't shift down since I only have one speed, and going downhill, I have to spin with the bike and I can't spin fast enough to keep up with them when they're coasting. And when I ride with my wife, I have a cruiser-ish bike I rde.
    Thats great..so fixed gear is building endurance and strength...thats a workout :)

    I don't use a computer, but I reckon these rides average about 15-17 mph unless I'm dead tired. Lots of climbing and rolling hills. Wheeeeeeee! Keep it up, everyone!

    I don't use a computer, but I reckon these rides average about 15-17 mph unless I'm dead tired. Lots of climbing and rolling hills. Wheeeeeeee! Keep it up, everyone!

    It was almost cold! The temp was coming down fast afternoon.
    I ended up going over 300 miles. I could have set the goal 10miles/day like last month.
    I did not know the weather holding up nicely for weekends, and had may fun rides with friends.
