Anyone else doing the Great River Ride out of Westfield, Massachusetts, next Sunday? If so, send me a personal message, and maybe we can meet up during or after the ride. (I'm doing the 170K RUSA populaire, but there are 85-mile, 65-mile, and 35-mile options for those who aren't as daft as me.)0

Anyone else notice the Garmin Connect estimated calories burned is too high?
Given my area, (Florida) I usually estimate 25 cal per mile, however Garmin always gives me about 50 cal/mile. My height and weight is set in the Garmin profile.0 -
Broken rear spoke. Grrr! :mad:
I shouldn't be mad though cuz it had to have happened going about 25mph and slipping onto the shoulder of the road. I am lucky to have hung on and get back on the pavement. Had I crashed, it would have been really, really bad.
Wheel is at the LBS now, should be ready by the end of the day so I can pedal back home. $15-20 repair the guy said. Seems fair.0 -
"The Time Crunched Cyclist" by Chris Charmichael and "The Cyclist's Training Bible" by Joe Friel.
Thank you for the suggestions cycle2live, the Friel book is actually available at my public library, woohoo.... :-)
And congrats on all your achievements, 106 miles... and the '60lbs of fat'!!! I'm still far away from similar milestones, but one day, who knows, might even join a group ride (far too slow for now lol!)0 -

Oh wow. Glad you didn't crash. Things can go south so quickly when your bike breaks on you ...Broken rear spoke. Grrr! :mad:

Hi all. I'm really happy that I scanned the boards and found this topic. I'm Cycling2Live to control my blood sugar levels. Yep, I'm living with Type 2 diabetes and cycling has been a big part of my lifestyle to get the bgl's under control. Not to mentions losing 60 pounds of fat.
Yesterday I completed the Tour of Richmond (Virginia, USA) Grand Fondo. 106 miles of cycling bliss. It was a tough ride because of the unusually warm weather here but I shaved almost 30 minutes off my century PR so I consider it a success.

Thank you! Spoke has been replaced and wheel is true once again. Only cost $15, too. I'm happy.

Temp is dropping, and I hate it.
So far, for random reasons (like helping out friend's dead laptop), my bike commute has been decimated.
Also, the weekends were booked solid. I seriously need some kind of artificial mileage inflation this weekend, aka a long bike ride or two.

After a few days of missing bike commute, finally I had two days of opportunities. I'm way behind of "schedule".
I'm planning a bike ride this Saturday to catch up some of it.
