Any riders here? My wife and I try to go for a 10 mile bike ride 2-3 times a week. We use Strava to track our rides and are in a Strava group called Green Monkee Cycling.

    Thanks everyone!

    99% of my rides are trails. Love the scenery especially. Once or twice a month we'll do a big group ride of about 20 miles.

    I'm a roadie. Every now and then I get to go somewhere nice and rent an MTB, but for the most part I go somewhere nice and bring my road bike.

    I have been riding at a local county park, newly paved and totally flat. 7 times around is 100 Km Although the park has a reputation for being haunted, except for one incident, I have only seen deer, hogs, alligators and wild turkeys.

    I ride 5x per week. In the summer I alternate between road and mountain bike. In the winter when it's dark by the time I get home from work, I ride road on the weekend and throw a set of lights on the mountain bike and ride at night during the week.

    I'm in Florida, so I don't ride anyplace scenic. Road rides are on rural roads, orange groves and cattle farms as far as the eye can see. My home mountain bike trail is singletrack through the jungle, some of which is along a river (yes, there are alligators in there).

    Did my VO2max hill repeats today. Met the man with the hammer.

    I did an hour of hill repeats yesterday and I think I saw the Hammer guy too! Plus some deer and a snake :#

    I'd like to do some road riding but drivers in my city are idiots. They have no respect for cyclists. The city is trying to make it a more cyclist friendly place but putting bike lanes in some areas and paintings on the roads indicating bicycles can use it too. Only time will tell if these attempts help.

    Don't know if anyone is near Harper's Ferry, but that's where my group will be riding this Saturday. Should be starting by 4pm. Anyone close enough that can make it is free to join.

    Great group of cyclists. Usually drama and snarky free, too!

    I ride about 5-6 days a week. I run an enormous of amount of daylight bright DiNotte Lights on my bike for that reason. I'm not fast, but I eventually get there is my motto!
