Happy New Year!

This thread is for anyone who rides a bike. Do you bike to work? Do you pull your children to the park? So you ride weekends? Do you spin, at home or the gym? Or, are you just starting out and remembering how much fun you had biking when you were a kid? However you choose to push your pedal, you are welcome on this thread.

There are no rules to how or what you post. You may post miles, minutes, # of rides, what the scenery looks like, anything. Whatever will motivates you to get on your bike.

    Haven't been on my bike for about a month....last year I rode 11 out of 12 months which is great for B.C. So hopefully the icy/frosty roads will clear and I'll get out there soon!

    Looking forward to getting back on the bike this year. I had knee surgery in May 2015 and haven't gotten back on my bike yet :/ . My plan in 10 miles with weekend; I don't know if that's gonna be one 10m ride, 2-5m rides, or 5-2m rides around the block. And I don't care either, I just want to get back in the saddle. My goal is 60 miles in January, or 15 miles a week.

    I think I would like to join just as a way to push me to get back on my bike. It's been a while. So to start with, I'll shoot for 10 miles. Next month I'll increase it if I make it through!

    No goal this month as my riding is mostly commute specific so weather will be key here. At least 400 miles though.

    01/01 - 64.8 @ 17.5 mph (Metric Century)

    This is my first challenge, so I want to set a very realistic goal so I can attain it. My goal it to bike commute daily for 6 miles a day. In addition, I want to ride 10 miles every weekend. This will make my January goal equal 176 miles. If I am not able to bike commute due to weather, I will use a stationary bike.

    Resolution Ride
    2 hours spin class. Did one hour strong and some lady got off her bike and put on Ben Gay or some winter green products just behind me. I had to move to the other side of the room and have them open the door open. It burned my throat. Then she complains about the door being open so they closed the door partway and I just could not breath. Left the class and did the second hour on the workout floor sorta got chatty with too many friends. However burned 1,700 calories and stayed in a training range. Most of the classes I get 24 Keiser miles per hour. Not sure what that equals I did not look.

    That should read "My plan is 10 miles this weekend"...
