What was going to be a short, easy spin ended up as a long, hard ride.
45 miles at an average pace of 20+mph. Okay, easy one tomorrow, for sure.
570 miles for the month.0 -
260 miles on my newly purchased bike so far in July...the only month I've had it. It's awesome. Beats any cardio machine i can think of for avoiding boredom.0

Road bike ride with my husband this morning. 44 miles in 170 minutes. I struggled getting up some of the hills - my husband tells me: "The hills are your friend. They make you strong." It makes me laugh. (Better than crying, I suppose.)
Keep the rubber side down!

Oh, my, please don't cough up a lung!
I myself carry about 25% body fat and my husband has about 9%. My theory is that gravity increases for those of us with a greater percentage of body fat; I know I just get slower and slower ... and slooooower as the hill keeps going up and up and up!
I wish we could all share some of Thomas Voeckler's ability! King of the Mountains!0 -

one of the better "preparations" for saddle "hot spots" is Nappy Rash Cream - it's sold in the UK as "Sudocrem" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudocrem - at least as a treatment "post ride" - clean up the affected area thoroughly, and apply. Some people use it as an alternative to "chamois cream" but personally, I far prefer the real thing.0 -

Hit 200 miles for the month with a 20 miler tonight. On pace to reach 250. Not bad for my first month back after a 6 month layoff.0

As I am so sore in the bottom area would it be advisable to have a day or two off or just soldier through to try and harden myself?0
