    Unfortunately I live in Northern IL and we just keep getting more and more snow. BUT.. this last weekend a friend had a "fat bike fest" and invited people out to ride the trails from his house on fat bikes (like mountain bikes with 4-5" wide tires). Had a blast, put about 3 hard ridden miles in. Riding in the snow is a pretty tough workout. (I'm a roadie and a mountain biker, and I've ridden centuries on the road bike and some hard off road miles on the mountain bike..)

    Anxiously awaiting for the snow to melt, otherwise the only place I will be riding any of my bikes is around my front room. :(

    Another night of no rain here in Oregon so I joined the local shop ride. And, I got to ride the new to me Moots Vamoots tonight! I think I'm going to love this bike.

    Distance 22.4 mi
    Moving Time 1:15:59
    Avg Speed 17.7 mi/h
    Avg Watts 147 W
    Elev Gain 253 ft

    Month total: 138.4 miles.

    GeekLoss, keep it up! My first bicycle ride was nearly 30 years ago on flat roads. When I limped home, I had to lay on the lawn for 20 minutes before I had the energy to unlock the house. With every ride I loved cycling more!

    Didn't ride for most of November and all of December. Managed to get 75 miles in for January, 24 road and 51 trainer. Had set a goal for 100 in February but got sick and only got 70, 20 road and 50 trainer. Determined to get at least 100 in March and make up for some of my shortages in Jan and Feb to eventually meet my 1200 mile goal for the year. So far...
    3/1 - 30.96 road miles
    3/4 - 6.36 trainer miles
    3/5 - 5 trainer miles

    Mtd - 42.32 miles

    Have done a little riding this winter, but not a lot. I'm doing a metric century in May so I just started training for that a couple of weeks ago...this is what this week has looked like so far and plans for the rest of the week.

    3/2 - 30 miles event tempo (long ride)

    3/4 - 15 miles easy pace (endurance)

    3/5 - 10 miles sprint (stamina)

    3/7 - Advanced spin class

    3/8 - 33 miles event tempo (long ride)

    I've been trying to drop 10lbs a month since January. Hasn't worked out that well, I'm fluxuating between 15-18lbs lost. AHH! But, must keep at it! Trying to drop my weight down to 185-195. (I was 267lbs when I started cycling a few years ago.)

    Did 2 criteriums last year (wasn't DFL), 1 underground road race (top 100 out of 1000+), and one alley cat race (placed 4th).


    Just slowly trying to creep my way to success! I want to climb faster and sprint longer.
