I'm in. I'm a cyclist who is trying to drop weight. So, I will be riding a lot and doing hills. This month will include three hilly time trials in southern Oregon with longish rides on the following day. During the week I will ride the trainer with one night ride outside with the local club. This weekend was a non-race weekend.

I can't get my bike out until April 16th. I am a weekend rider with a short ride or 2 during the week. I like to sign up for organized rides. I feel safer with a large group. My goal is to beat last summers 1,300 miles. Signing up for a number of centuries this time.0

Seems like the common theme is, the cold-snowy weather. Yes, I like to ride but I try to keep my suffering down to a minimum.
So I remain spinning indoors and my cabin fever is at an all time high. I do keep a training log of sorts and last year at this time I was able to get some road rides in...like I said that was last year.0 -

At Geek Loss: Don't be intimidated!
When I started cycling it was on an old rust-bucket steel frame Ross with barely functional pedals. It was given to me as payment for cutting down a tree. I think the guy just was too lazy to bring it to the dumps.
As life would have it, I started out cycling on the flatest road I could find on that bike. I road only 1 mile wearing sweat pants and a tee shirt. After 3 successfully completed rides of 1 mile length, I would increase it another mile.Then again after 3 days I would increase again and so on.
Eventually, after 18 months of loyal service the bike died. I bought a new touring road bike. A heck of a lot lighter and easier to pedal.
I feel sorry for people that buy the best bike in the shop because I feel they have no real appreciation for the new technology that have come along with bikes. I am yammering though...
So,The best thing is to get out and ride, set a goal of where you want to be or what you want to achieve. If possible set small goals and then set a big one based on your successes. Remember "enjoy the ride".0 -
Yep GeekLoss, the great thing about those doing 30 miles is that they started by doing 2 or 3 miles! I did the same thing. Just ride and keep riding. The fact you have 3 rides in there is awesome.
I love how these threads for full of regular people just trying to "keep riding". Some people are noobs and some are old pros. I see some coming back from injuries. Some inspiring stories that you can feed off of to motivate yourself. Sometimes those 4 or 5 miles rides are the most motivating for me since I see the adversity in which they ride them. If they can keep riding, then so can I!0 -
