Casual rider here! Recently sprained my big toe so I got my bike out yesterday to keep me active while my toe heals. Did 2.5 miles yesterday and my injured foot handled it fine (yay!). It's been pouring rain all day today though, so I'll have to wait for better weather to get back out again.
I'm seriously impressed with everyone's goals on here!
I'm not going to set a goal for myself because I tend to push myself too hard and injure myself before reaching a goal (see: big toe) so I'm just going to do what I can, when I can so I don't add injury to injury!0 -
I'm new to biking again. Currently stationed in Columbia, SC. I rode 10 mi yesterday & I'm hooked. Body feels great not painful like after a run. If there's anyone who would line a morning or weekend riding partner hit me up.
Since I'm new I'm setting my June goal of 100 mi. Any help is more than welcome.0 -
Just my commute to/from the ballpark today, along with a ride this evening to test out a cheap $7 knockoff of a knockoff seat (didn't work) and a new computer (Sigma 16.12 wired - awesome once I figured out how to turn it on).

I am a casual rider too - just maybe the mileage is a bit more but am definitely casual/recreational! I go to cycling trips every now and then so have to keep the fitness level up or I can't "go out to play", if not I likely will just to sit on the couch and do nothing
Wish you a speedy recovery to your toe injury.0 -

Haha, just a bit more!
Thanks for the well wishes! Whatever gets us up off the couch is a good thing!

June 4 - 77.7 km (260 min)
There's a major storm coming. They've been advertising it for days now ... supposed to roll in this evening. So we set off relatively early (11 am) in order to get this ride in before the storm arrived, and yet late enough so that the frost would have melted off the roads.
It was about 10C where we live when we set off, and climbed up the Southern Outlet. That's about a 12 km climb and by the time we got to the top, we were both overheating because we had dressed for cold. I figured I'd be shedding clothes as soon as we got to the bottom of the descent.
But when we got to the bottom of the descent, it was indeed cold ... it had dropped to 8C and then down to 7C while we were riding. That was combined with a little breeze and heavy mist all the way out making it feel quite chilly. I was wishing for winter cycling boots! My toe covers weren't quite up to the job.
We turned around and fortunately the mist/drizzle stopped, and what little wind there was dropped off to practically nothing.
We had thought about stopping for lunch, but opted to just keep riding back home instead. A hot shower and coffee were calling! So we kept cycling back to Hobart and then up and over Bonnet Hill.
Our elevation profile shows one big climb at the beginning, then almost flat, and then another big climb at the end. Variety!
Happily, we did the ride within randonneuring time. Mission accomplished!
There were a number of cyclists out there today ... all bundled up and looking rather cold. So we weren't the only ones.
Weekend adventures ...

Well that's my main challenge for June completed!
Ditchling Devil Audax - 129 miles @ 14mph, 6,975 feet of elevation gain. SW London to the coast and back via seemingly every possible big hill.
That was really tough, very warm day and think I got dehydrated as really struggled on the third quarter and had to take a long cake/water break (the cakes were epic!). Nothing left in my legs for the climbs so had to crawl up the later hills and make up time on the flat'ish sections.
Was supposed to be 127 miles but thanks to Garmin taking me on a couple of detours it turned it into a new PB for me. Happy to get any new PBs at my advanced age.
Here's a link if anyone is interested, brilliantly organised event and the route takes you through beautiful countryside.

Heyyyy, I've slacked off on posting these last few weeks, oops! Monthly goal is to try (once again, didn't do too hot in May) to do brick workouts 3 days a week - 2 days during the week while I bike home and then run after work, and one day on the weekend where I swim/bike/run. The lake near my house (which is also the location of my August tri) has open swim across the lake 3 days a week, so I'm going to try to get to that once a week as well.
6/1 - 23 miles
6/2 - 23 miles
6/3 - 7 miles (swim/bike workout)
6/6 - 23 miles - biking after an overnight storm is kind of like a video game - dodge the puddle, swerve around the fallen branches, avoid that fallen sign blocking the bike lane!

Hi everyone. I'll join, with a simple goal of a bike ride atleast once a week.
I'm a very casual cyclist nowadays with some dull health (and time!) constraints but I have done cycle commuting and quite a few touring holidays in the past. Now it's more about family fun with my 11 year old, and the odd trip with one of my cycling buddies. (Latest plan is to cycle the length of the Thames - across a number of weekends. She lives in Bristol and I live in London - so it (roughly!) joins us....). So I'm here for the joy of chatting to other cyclists, and reminding myself to get planning that Thanes trip.
Anyway: week 1: family cycle ride to Beckenham Place Park. Daughter's new bike chain jammed on way home. Grrrr. But luckily v near home. So that'll be an unwanted trip to the bike shop then....1 -

I finally got out for a ride last night! I've been doing a lot of walking and gardening lately which turned out to be an unintentional break from biking that I think I needed mentally and physically. Getting back into it yesterday felt great, and my passion for riding feels renewed!
