@globalhiker Holy smokes, that's early!! Excellent on you for committing to it. Our ancient cat (19.5 years of age) kicked it, so wasn't really feeling it. Got back on the bike yesterday and of course, forgot to log. Catching up on logging now. Ride 1 - 6.86 miles <- 3/29, outdoors Ride 2 - 11.38 miles <- 3/30, Zwift…

Started a new training program today, because why not? Ride 1 - 12.00 miles Previous - 0.12 miles Total - 12.12 miles / 2025 miles (run 1 complete 3/26) Link -

Oh goodness, @Mari33a here's hoping you recover quickly!! Today was a day of nonsense. Two meetups? No problem. The multiple rides to finish out the Zwift Big Spin event? UGH. Just linking my Strava profile in the event that anyone wants to verify my milage, because that was a lot of riding. Ride 1 - 25.00 miles <- Meetup…

@globalhiker It was my mom's birthday - mine isn't until later in the year. 😉 Monthly imperial century completed! Ride 1 - 100.03 miles Previous - 1859.05 miles Total - 1959.08 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13986860803

Fell off the logging wagon again, but not that many to catch up with - missed riding on Saturday due to going to the RV show in town with my parents and having a belated birthday celebration with my mom. Been working in Zwift with the new game aspect they have where you ride your bikes to upgrade them and potentially…

Zwift meetup today. Also ran 9 miles, but who cares about that LOL Ride 1 - 16.02 miles Previous - 1776.72 miles Total - 1792.74 miles / 2025 miles Link -

Lots of racing, a couple workout rides, tons of short ‘Big Spin’ efforts to close out the ’90’s’ items, some trips to McDonalds on real roads and meetups galore that I’ve been delinquent in logging. Just supplying a link to my Strava profile if you want to verify lol - there are seriously too many short efforts to list…

@globalhiker IRT this… (Q: What brand/model bike do you ride and which would you recommend for a home spin bike?) Oh goodness. On the road, I use my 1986 Panasonic DX-3000 (upgraded from 12 to 14 speeds and I installed index shifting because friction shifting drives me batty) on days where I want a challenge. On days when…

More Zwifting, more fun! Ride 1 - 23.01 miles <- 3/12 Meetup Ride 2 - 29.06 miles <- 3/13 Workout Previous - 1589.12 miles Total - 1641.19 miles / 2025 miles Link -

Finished all my roulette wheel spinning in Zwift today - first ride didn't even record because I didn't have to pedal. The late-join function put me 300 feet from the finish arch so I coasted in. Second actually involved some pedaling, so that one counts! LOL And third ride (recorded as my 2nd, because I actually pedaled)…

Today, all Zwift. An insane number of short rides, too, because that silly roulette wheel isn't giving me what I need. (insert colorful language here) OH WELL! Just means even more tiny rides on the hour every available hour tomorrow to hunt down the items I desire lol Ride 1 - 14.09 miles <- Meetup Ride 2 - 12.49 miles <-…

3/7 from McDonald'sCatching up on logging!

Zwift Games, race 2. Rolling hills, but nothing too serious - more of a sprint stage than anything appropriate for climbers. Apparently the climb stages are going to be 3 and 4. The BMX is going to be an absolutely inappropriate frame for those stages… so I'm, of course, going to use it because I take my video game cycling…

@Mari33a My pleasure! Been dealing with wonky forum formatting for so many years, it's become easy to figure out and adjust. 😅 No spinning today on the Big Spin, so did one of the larger challenge workouts instead. Fun times! (The Zwift BMX bike is a piece of junk so far as virtual bike stats are concerned, but it's so…

Everyone is doing fantastic!! Did more Zwifting today - racing the Zwift Games, and spun the big wheel again (and got the FINAL unlock that's available in stage 1! Wee! Means there's no pressure to spin it anymore this week - Monday I'll be resuming tons of short little rides trying to score those prizes lol). The Zwift…

Two rides today - a meetup with a bunch of friends from the world over via Zwift, and a quick 'Big Spin' ride for fun. While the meetup was on the Big Spin route for this week, it netted me 'drops' because I've already got the item the roulette wheel landed on.. but the silly short ride I did for fun? Netted me one of the…

Zwift Big Spin is happening - got all the Stage 1 specific items and 2 of the 'event-long' items today because why the heck not - just cutting myself off from riding because I have to get housework done. 😅 (for those not in the know, Zwift Big Spin has prizes on a roulette wheel - you pass the finish arch of the route…

@globalhiker It was just an independent run, actually using my treadmill because I didn't want to contend with golf carts on our local trails. :lol: But I do love me a 1/2! Full marathons (of which I've done 1... also on my treadmill...) are just flat out brutal. Maybe later this year I'll do another 1/2 outdoors, but for…

@ualflygirldm Just post! And welcome. :smiley: Closing out my posts for 3/1 - just a smidge late, because I was busy and then got distracted. 3/2 rides will either be posted later today when they're done, or I'll forget and post them on 3/3 lol Race today in Zwift (UGH) and rode to and from a nearby neighborhood for…

@Mari33a and @globalhiker Got that 20 miles of running done! Finished it up today with a 1/2 marathon that took just a little over 2 hours. (yesterday was cardio-free because of sheer laziness lol) Followed up that 1/2 with a nice little ride. Took it easy, but still did some decent efforts on the climbs and sprints to…

Another meetup today. Only ride, because still running my brains out trying to keep my New Year's Resolution to run 100km every month (still have 20.25 miles left omfg - send help).

@globalhiker Oh, I wish! It was indoors, which was nice (no wind, perfect roads)... but I started it with a 30 mile that featured three decent climbs and a real brute of one right after them, and then did laps on a relatively flat road for the last 70. My legs were jelly at the end. Still, did a gravel ride the next day!…

Monthly imperial century done! Actually keeping this years New Year's Resolution, still going strong. :smile: Ride 1 - 100.01 miles Previous - 1157.56 miles Total - 1257.57 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13699605679

@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…

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. Ride 1 - 30.00 miles Previous - 1111.56 miles Total - 1141.56 miles / 2025 miles Link -…

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.

Didn't bother doing /any/ workouts yesterday because Valentine's Day, so today I pulled off one of the Zwift Endurance challenge workouts. Good times! Four sprints and two nice little climbs at the end. Ride 1 - 20.00 miles Previous - 1057.54 miles Total - 1077.54 miles / 2025 miles Link -…
