20.77 miles this morning.....I shoulda just pushed it to 21 but still happy with this. Note to self definitely ride in the morning. Really having fun riding and exploring.
@CompM....I'm starting to think maybe you are a little cray cray!! Lol....jealous of that though, nice job. Congrats to finance on his weight loss.

One of my favorite things about cycling is that everyone in our family is old enough to do it, so it's a wholesome activity. We've got some pretty decent trails close by the house as well.0

I do stationary bike every morning before work while I drink my coffee and check my email, log my food, Facebook and things like that. I was doing around 45 mins every morning but now I'm down to 20 or 30 (about 6 to 8 miles) due to back pain I've been fighting with the last few weeks. Trying to let it heal and build back up or at least not lose everything I've gained over the last few months. I'm determined I can still do this! Nice to see so many other riders too. I seldom get out on my bike because I don't like going alone.0

We're getting a hitch and a bike rack installed tomorrow. While we can go on a few short rides without hitting too much traffic, there aren't too many options. But in easy drive my distance we have lots of easy trail riding options that are perfect for the whole family. I'm determined to get them all out there in a regular basis. Perfect family thing to do.

@ImNayNay69 great way to incorporate exercise into the morning routine. Real multi-tasking. :-))0

Didn't even see this post for some reason (and mine is right under yours, haha). Don't get addicted to cycling like I did! My wallet is much lighter than it used to be since I caught the bug. I think the ones who are in love with the sport have to be a little crazy, because there's so much suffering involved.shangates92 wrote: »20.77 ...Really having fun riding and exploring.

Glad you're having fun though, there's just something about 2 wheels and a light breeze that feels heavenly! Also, my fiancee is a lady and I'll pass the message. 
Today: 24 miles
Tomorrow: Rest Day0 -

12.75 miles on the recumbent bike today and watched S4E13 of GRIMM!!0

Hubby bought the bike rack today. I'm so eager to hit some of the trails and great riding places around here. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but if it mellows for the afternoon, I'd like to try riding around this Island. It's a quiet circular route, just under 10km. There's a little small ferry that takes a few cars and pedestrians and cyclists over on a regular basis. I bought this book with 45 local rides. I want to get to all of them eventually. :-))0

56.3 terrible, terrible miles.
Bike racks rule. For some reason, I automatically like drivers of cars with one mounted. 0 -
So I can start riding again. Yay! I won't make goal this month but I'll get in what I can and I guess next month try again!!0
-
So I was able to get in about 8.13 miles today...at a slower pace but all good.
So 1/2 way thru the month and I am at
87.85 miles
112.16 to make goal0 -
I only set the small goal of 50km for August. As of last night I hit 36.8km. So I have 13.2km to go. It will be interesting to see how much I can accomplish when school is back in September, my daughter's dance schedule back in full force and the evenings with daylight getting shorter. I have a feeling that most of my riding will happen on weekends.0
-
Only managed a short ride today (about 30 mins) before the storms came in. That would be the storms that we weren't going to get. Literally the noon news said 'sunny and hot the rest of the day'. What do they know?!0
-
Funny thing...our storms rolled away early. Did you all volunteer to take them from us?0
-
Lmao...apparently so.0
-
Just finished my 15-miler outside due to @shangates92 graciously accepting the terrible storms in time for an evening jaunt. Power's out just a few blocks from my house, and limbs/mud washouts EVERYWHERE.
My steed needs a bath in the morning.0 -
No ride outside again today...thanks @CompM but did a spin class only made it about 45 mins, and no jumps or standing for long. But felt good. Need to log those miles........0
-
Only 4.5 km away from my August goal of 50km. I should get it done before the weekend. Let's see how far I can surpass it and then I'll have to set a new goal for September. Most of my rides, once school and "real life" starts again will probably have to be on weekends. Sigh.0

I hope you don't mind me jumping, in on this post. I have taken up cycling more since I got a better bike. My bike believe it or not came from the garbage. I think it was tossed in due to it being very uncomfortable. My husband fiddled with the handlebars and he put another seat on it that we had. I have to admit that my seat isn't right yet. It's wearing me in not the other way around. When I get back home I will have to get to a bike shop and investigate seats. I was doing over 30 k most days. The last few weeks about 22k.a day. Since August 1st I have done
317.21k....which is 197.11 miles. I really love biking here. We have some very big hills around here. They really take the stuffing out of me. The pavement is in perfect shape, that really makes a big difference compared to the roads back at my house.
By the way mommyknits, I love your bike! Have fun everyone!

@ruperthumphrey don't mind at all! Everyone is welcome. Great job on the riding....especially on a 'garbage' bike.0

Welcome @ruperthumphrey! Congrats for 'adopting' a bike. It needed a good home
Today, 24 miles + 19 min. warmup, 10 min. cooldown, 30 min. easy ride with a friend.0 -
I had a rest day today. We finally got some well needed rain.0
-
Rest day, thank goodness. My legs and glutes feel alternately like spaghetti noodles and hot sauce. Sometimes both. Scheduled a massage for after Saturday's long ride.0
-
Other than Bootcamp tonight, I think today is a bit of a rest day. I won't have time to fit in a ride before dark and I'm feeling really tired today.
I knew my distance goal for August was small.... at 50km.... but I needed to start small. I reached it with my ride yesterday.0 -
Yesterday was a rest day. Today I've managed 12.15 miles on the recumbent bike. I'm hoping to get back on it this evening but ya never know...0
-
22.5 miles today! Sun was out and it was hot and steamy.
@cpanus welcome back....so how's Grimm? New season is coming up
@mommyknits congrats on reaching your goal.0
