    Race today. Normally I don't do racing, but if you finish all four stages this month you get Dura-Ace wheels for your silly Zwift avatar's bike, and I need more bling wheels to put on the ridiculous frames I insist on riding in that game.

    Ride 1 - 15.00 miles <- Zwift Race

    33 mi /2025 miles. Sat. I took the day off all exercise. About 10 hours to go until Superbowl feasting begins. That's 10 hours to get a lot of exercise in!

    Today I decided to die all over virtual Tourmalet. 125% real-world gradient is no joke - it ramps some of those corners up to a mind-numbing 44%.

    56/2025 miles. Got in some miles past 2 days. RPM class helped. I leave that class completely drenched in sweat. I'll have to get on my home bike later and ramp up my mileage.

    Three rides in a day? Wee!! I had a run, a meetup and an event ride all scheduled (already busy) - and then suddenly a friend I haven't ridden with in /ages/ extended a surprise!meetup. So yeah, I /had/ to jump in on that!!

    And today's meetup rounded everything out nicely.

    68/2025 miles. Realizing how much of a weekend exerciser I am then by midweek it's a dead halt. You guys inspire me though! Putting a note on the fridge called "cycle and watch videos". I do enjoy that and get lost watching travel videos, I just have to DO IT!

    106/2025 miles. Got in 3 more rides since my last post! I would do much better to watch a whole movie since that would make the time fly and I'd go longer.

    @ashleycarole86, I hope you feel better.. I had a bad respiratory event in December that took almost and month to recover. Take care of yourself.
    Just getting caught up enough to start logging my " !! 2025 Cycling Challenge !! " effort.
    I have been riding indoor and have begun riding TTT and event rides to get ready for better indoor and outdoor performance. I also really enjoy Zwift.

    In January I rode 313 mi.
    So far in February I rode 302 mi.
    I will ride today and post tomorrow.
    My 2025 YTD Total Cycling Distance is 615 mi.
    My 2024 YTD Total Cycling Distance was 2,841.93 mi.

    Exercising should be fun!

    A pair of Zwift meetups today got the legs all nice and toasty - a whole lot of flat, though! No good for a self-proclaimed climber lmao

    Looking forward to tomorrow - it's my Imperial Century day. Woo!

    131/2025 miles. I am getting more miles in by lowering the resistance and instead focusing on keeping my heart rate over 100 so at least I get sweating. I can squeeze 15 mi out of an hour and 3 min, so will go and do 20mi now. I can make the time.

    Ahhhh, climbing! Had tons of fun climbing Box Hill (and the 'Fox Hill' climb) as well as Leith Hill on the London Map in Zwift. New routes make me a happy cyclist.

    Yeah, no imperial today, but ended up super busy with housework. Poo.

    I feel like my miles are so low, but since I’ve taken my mini-stair stepper to work, I’ve been clocking at least 2 hours a day using that. By the time I get home from my day I don’t always have all the energy In the world.

    Enjoying this winter with workouts nearly everyday. I quit alcohol and caffeine to improve sleep and ...

    Just getting caught up enough to start logging my " !! 2025 Cycling Challenge !! " effort.
    I have been riding indoor and weight training to get ready for upcoming spring riding and other outdoor events.

    Ride Wed, 2/19 Zwift - Mountain Route in Watopia 18.72 mi 2,228 ft
    Ride Tue, 2/18 Zwift - Glyph Heights in Watopia 20.68 mi 2,028 ft

    @newmeat30 Fantastic way to get in a bit of cardio at work! I like it. 😁

    @RMUNTZ2 Congratz on quitting alcohol! And the caffeine - that one's super difficult. At least, it is for me. :wink:

    Today was race day in Zwift! Did rather pitifully in my heat, but as far as I'm concerned, it was spectacular. Held an average power above my FTP for the entire 40 minute effort, so was absolutely wasted at the end of it.
