I commute to work and ride about 20 miles a day. Each ride is about 8.7 miles, but I usually tack on a few after work. I don't have any specific goals for March, but I'll make one: To complete the ride in under 40 minutes. I've done it before, but not since winter hit! For some reason, my times are always slower when it's cold.
Love talking cycling!!!!0 -

i'm a year round rider, this September will be my 2nd year straight.
I have an alternating schedule, it's complicated due to the location of where I work now.
one week, I ride to the gym, workout, then ride to the train station. on mon, wed and fri, I do spin, then ride home
other week, I can't go to the gym (earlier schedule), just ride to/from work.
working out? roughly 7mi round trip, then spin approx. 16mi ea class.
7x5=35+ 16x3= 48 - 83mi
non gym week - 5mi round trip
5x5=25mi
83x2 = 166
25x2=50
216mi a month? woah.. I have never figured it out before... this is not including any extra rides I may go on, so as a standard I do just a bit over 200 a month.0 -
Yesterday, I stayed home due to a migraine headache (which I get about once a month). I found out that my wife was planning a hilly ride and I thought what the h*ll, I'll join her. The head pain was less during the ride, but came back once I got off of the bike. Nonetheless, I got some good training in.
The Hilly Ride:
Distance 38.3 mi
Moving Time 3:04:52
Avg Speed 12.4 mi/h
Avg Watts 129 W
Elev Gain 3,547 ft
The ride home from lunch:
Distance 7.6 mi
Moving Time 33:34
Avg Speed 13.6 mi/h
Avg Watts 102 W
Elev Gain 141 ft
Tonight, I'll feeling better, but not completely well. I did do my usual Wednesday Night recovery ride however:
Distance 21.1 mi
Moving Time 1:45:37
Avg Speed 12.0 mi/h
Avg Watts 123 W
Elev Gain 171 ft
March total now stands at 377.8 miles which more or less equals my 2013 total for March.0 -
Hoo boy. I used to bike commute daily on my Electra Townie. At one point it was a 45 minute ride each way on flat flat Florida roads, and then it was just a 15 minute ride...and then around this time last year I just stopped riding daily. Bummer. For several months my bike was in storage, stuck in limbo...unavailable. Once I got it back, I was knee deep in my first real winter in 13 years.
Well, this month I sold my car, and walked to work a few times. I even tried bicycling in the snow once, just to give a hale and hearty F-U to winter. Winter fought back, and the ride was more of a miserable pull/shove hike with a heavy bicycle over snowplow mountains.
Well, today I rode again, on fairly clear roads (it snowed again, of course). I tell you, I haven't really experienced hills in awhile, either. I really struggled, and I walked some of the hills, but I made it there and back again in the chilly rain.
Today: 5.2 miles, uphill both ways, in light rain/mist0 -
Today: 5.2 miles, uphill both ways, in light rain/mist
It's curious how the road manages to do that sometimes, isn't it... Sometimes 5 miles can be more impressive than a Century Ride - well done for getting out there and riding.0 -

I was pumping up my tire when my valve broke! I lost all the air in my back tire. To make it worse, I phoned our two sports stores and neither had the right type of tube! Luckily a friend had one I could borrow. So, last night was changing the tire night! I hadn't done it since summer and it took a while!
