    So, bought a hybrid bike back in June of 2013 to lose weight. Found out that I love cycling....like really love it. I never understood the "high" that people talked about getting when they ran or what have you, until I bought a bike. Anyway, I used/use Runtastic with the hybrid, but figured I would use Strava now that I picked up a road bike to cruise on.

    I basically just wanted to say hello, and see if everyone is adding each other on Strava? If anyone would like to add me, here is the link to my profile. http://www.strava.com/athletes/3937713

    Go easy as I only have this weekends rides recorded on Strava :)

      thats one of the great things about Strava - the "virtual cycle clubs" feature - on your dashboard there's a pulldown list that (iirc) defaults to "I'm following" - switch that to "GS MyFitnessPal" and you'll see all the rides from everyone on here.

      The Strava club warms up a little in another couple of weeks, once my crazy Challenges start to kick in, though we usually get a thread every now and then about how people are doing in the Strava monthly challenges or so forth...

      Yea, I kinda made this post a bit prematurely. Once I logged in online and saw that I could access everyone, this post kinda became moot.

      Again, look forward to logging some miles with everyone!

      Hi all x

      I have asked to join you all on Strava but so far have had no reply :( I am not fast and don't do as many miles as some of you but would love to try and catch up! New Caad 10 Ultegra arriving tomorrow so hoping to up my pace a bit!

      Welcome aboard Julie - Normally it's best to drop me a PM letting me know you're wanting to sign up - I've had one person waiting for ages because I don't know who they are - fortunately as you use the same Avatar here and on Strava I made the association.

      Enjoy that New Caad10 - hope you get better weather for riding it than I'm getting at the moment - it's looking like I'll be out on my own Cannondale - the CaadX- because, well, I just can't face a hour of cleaning and re-lubing the posh-bike again.
