    What type of riding do you get into?

    I ride a road bike. Do about 5000km year. Not sure if that qualifies as a cyclist to you or not. What are looking for?

    I'm definitely a cyclist. Right now, doing indoor training due to the winter weather, but late April? I'll be back on the road, riding hard :)

    I do the roadie thing so the likes of races or plan to get back into it later this year. Very occasionally time trials, sportives, grand fondo. Used to do the races but gave up as training is such a big commitment of doing 12 to 15 hours plus work. It doesn't leave much time to get other things done. So but at times I miss the thrill of it.

    Me! January/February is my off season as I live in Chicago so right now, lifting and running. 200+ miles per week during season

    200 miles per week...nice! I wish I had the time to put in that kind of time on my bike, but my schedule is too crazy. I'm in nj and I usually ride all year round but I'm using this time now to lift. And my body just isn't adjusting to the cold as it usually does.

    Road, recreational, and all fair weather this winter with Zwift (due to shoulder surgery). Averaging around 7 hours per week so far. Also finished up around 7 hours last year and 8 hours in 2015. Started back up mid 2014 after 23 years hiatus.

    Yep. Mostly road, a little trail, and a huge longing for more bikepacking and touring.

    I'm trying to be more of a cyclist. I'm in training for my first triathlon. Most of my cycling of late has either been on a nice spin bike at my gym or on my own bike turbo trainer in the garage.

    Is this a census?

    I'm waiting for my new wheels to be ready.

    Road. Mostly not during the winter though (except for the freak warm weather this weekend).

    Roadie. Pounding out miles on Zwift right now. There are several members of our race team IRL on MFP. We use the platform to track calories and encourage each other in getting down to race weight before team camp the last weekend in February.

    So you had the warm weather. I had minus temps and fog on the Sunday which I was meant to do 5 hours on the road. So did 5 on the turbo the old school way of no zwift just the mind and my thoughts. At times it has to be done. This is when having targets to reach comes into play

    I'm usually able to ride even thru thr winter months, but I just don't have the motivation to get out there in the cold and dark any more. So I've been hitting the gym to work on strength and endurance which may be more helpful anyway.

    After a very busy winter, I kind of eased off this spring (November) ... but now that summer's on and the weather is acting like it, I'm building back up again. :)
