    My cycling app Strava has a climbing challenge, climb 4,096 meters in 16 days, I did it in 3.

    You gonna buy the cool Jersey for completing the challenge?

    I want a Strava orange Jersey, but I refuse to pay $120

    @dougpconnell219‌ no I won't buy the jersey either, it is ridiculous to charge that amount of money,

    First time on this board. Riding goal 30 miles per week. Doesn't sound like much, but I also golf 3-4 times a week so time is an issue.
    So far for March:
    Week 1: ZERO (slow Start)
    Week 2: 31.2 Miles
    Week 3: 45.9 Miles
    Week 4: 20.3 (so far)
    Only one more week in Florida, then back to the cold midwest!

    Hello again everyone!

    I have not made it outside yet as winter is still hanging on where I live. They are even calling for more snow on Saturday!
    I finally got a trainer this winter though. I roll out of bed, climb on the trainer and wake up about half way through my spin.

    March total time: 18.5hr
    March total distance: would be around 296 miles.

    I agree! I 'won' 2 or 3 of the jerseys last summer and I really liked the look of one of them but was not even tempted with Strava's outrageous prices! Would have bought one if it was half price though.

    Yeah I do the fondos every month, because I love to ride, not because I want to purchase an overpriced jersey that advertises Strava

    Miscalculation of their customer base? Take a look at who they contracted to make the kit; it caters to a very elite crowd. Strava could have gone with someone that make less pricier kit and/or discounted it for the added advertisement but that would take away from the mystic. And yes, too rich for my blood.

    Sunday 01 March -- 40.22 km (approx 2 hours ... maybe slightly more) with 227 metres of climbing.

    On my touring bicycle outside in a rural area not far from Hobart.

    High temp: 17.7C
    Wind gusting to 52 km/h (that presented a bit of a challenge)
    Just a touch of drizzle at the beginning

    Saturday 14 March -- my birthday was last Monday. We are gradually building up our cycling distance, and weren't quite ready for a ride of the distance of my age in miles last weekend. Yeah, I'm getting old. But we were ready this weekend!!

    Today, we cycled 77.67 km (approx. 240 min), just slightly more than my age in miles.

    Our route took us to the end of the cycleway and then on to New Norfolk where we stopped for lunch, then we continued on a little bit further before we turned around and returned home.

    We had WIND gusting to 56 km/h which we battled all the way out, but fortunately, the wind didn't shift or die too much, so we had great tail wind on the way back.

    And the rain held off. The weather people predicted rain starting at noon. We got a few sprinkles here and there, but nothing much. Not even enough to put on a rain jacket. But it rained heavily after we got in!
