Two Zwift meetups do a happy cyclist make. Oh, and there was running too, but who cares about that lol Ride 1 - 11.00 miles <- Zwift meetup #1 Ride 2 - 10.05 miles <- Zwift meetup #2 Previous - 1299.67 miles Total - 1320.72 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13725082142…

@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. Woo! Ride 1 - 8.01 miles Ride 2 - 10.00 miles Previous - 1093.55 miles Total - 1111.56 miles / 2025 miles Link -…

Woof, yesterday was just absolutely nutty around the house, so no ride. Got one in today, though. A nice meetup with friends from around the world in Zwift. Ride 1 - 16.01 miles Previous - 1077.54 miles Total - 1093.55 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13653636415

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 -…

Yesterday was so busy I didn't have time to log, so I'm capturing it today. 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…

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%.

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 Previous - 895.93 miles Total - 910.93 miles /…

@globalhiker That 38 mile ride took me just over 2 hours - it didn't have all that much climbing in it, but the group was 'banded' so it slowed down our average speed when people started losing steam (banded rides keep everyone together as long as they're pedaling, so slow people don't get dropped by speedsters - the group…

Today's ride was a nice, long meetup with the Pink Cheetahs in Zwift. Ride 1 - 38.00 miles <- Zwift meetup Previous - 836.92 miles Total - 874.92 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13548348352

@Jthanmyfitnesspal If your spin bike doesn't calculate a distance, a good rule of thumb would be to make a rough assumption based on time spent spinning and your average heart rate - if you were Z1 the whole time, assume 10 mph. I'd say Z2-3 would be ~15-18 mph based on personal experience, and Z4-5 would be around 20 mph.…

@newmeat30 Have to jump on with Mari33a - your theme pictures are excellent! @Mari33a I've made it a goal this year to do a 100 miler each month. Rather kicking myself for leaving January's until the last minute, but hey, got it! @globalhiker Welcome to the group!! I'm positive you can make it to 2025. :smiley: Forgot to…

Knocked out an imperial century today because why the heck not. Ride 1 - 100.00 miles Previous - 645.43 miles Total - 745.43 miles / 2025 miles Link - https://www.strava.com/activities/13487284349

@Mari33a I'm sure I will eventually. That run just absolutely humbled me! I'll be trying for that distance again in February - this time, I'm taking up some fruit sauce pouches and am going to try and take those down along the way. I hope it helps. Today was just a nice little meetup with some buddies in Zwift. Had fun in…
