I have not been biking as exercise until buying my stationary bike so my numbers are going to be low for now. I live in Colorado where people are out biking all of the time but I'm not confident to be out on the roads yet. When spring comes I hope to be able to get out on in the parks and ride.

How are all of you tracking your miles outdoors? Are you using a specific phone app or a GPS?

I'm in NoCo and I feel your pain. It's just way too windy to be out on the road, and not getting home until after 5 means dark bike, which I am just not at all comfortable with. I stick to the group cycle class or solo on a spin bike at the rec center.

I use mapmyride to log my rides. I haven't done the GPS thing yet, but I do map my routes and follow others for something new. I have a few friends that really like Strava.

02/01 - 26 miles
06/01 - 19 miles spinning
07/01 - 28 miles
08/01 - 19 miles spinning
09/01 - 19 miles spinning
10/01 - 20 miles
13/01 - 19 miles spinning

I am back after a 4 month long break. Got my first ride in a long time today and it felt pretty good. I am restarting my goal of biking the distance between my house in MA and my parents house in FL (for some reason my ticker refuses to work from the fall so I basically had no choice but to start over, lol)

I am setting a very low goal for January just to get back into the swing of things and also because and I am trying a lot of other new workouts and don't want to get burned out too quickly.

January goal: 70 miles all stationary

1/14- 5 miles
