well I am obviously hooked, Bought my padded cycling shorts, a big pot of sudocreme and thought I would just have a ten minute cycle to see how it felt with them. Anyhow 1hr 20 mins later I had done 11 miles with hardly any soreness and a great big grin
THAT"S GREAT! The shorts make a difference. And you are probably over the worst part anyways.0 -
New to this thread, but rode 18 miles in last three days. Already looking forward to the August challenge! Bad arthritis in my knee so biking is my new thing.
Welcome aboard!0 -

7/25 - 24 miles.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.
7/23 - 24 easy miles
7/24 - 24 miles. HIIT (1/4 mile pulls at max effort). Ouch.
618 miles and counting.
642 miles for the month.0 -
I'm not here to make excuses, I just didn't want you to think that I've given up. I've got a respiratory infection and haven't been able to power through without breaking into coughing fits.0

I was always told "if it's above the neck, it's okay to train - if it's below, take time off and get it right, and work your way back into training gently - a couple of days extra TLC of yourself could save a fortnight or more of misery, or worse!"0 -
Back at it, spinning class today, 40 min, assuming it was 12 mph, that would be 8 miles, plan to do the rest on sunday

I got 6.3 miles tonight. July has been a tough month and I'm going to fall short of my goal. But, on the bright side, at the end of June I was only able to do a 4 mile ride and my longest this month was 11.

Ha. I am fortunate to have a locker room at work and a flexible lunch. We have 4-5 guys out for 24 milers almost everyday. Couple of miles warm up/down to a little-used bike path (that's when the fun begins).
Will be out of the country for the month of August, so won't be able to do that challenge.0 -
