On a random aside I saw something in the road the other night and I got closer I saw it was a book, and then as I drove right by it I caught a flash of thick pages, white and green, and evenly spaced holes. I second later I realized it was a copy of The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric C. I read the book to my kids a lot. "And…

Forgot to share this. My friend's rear tire was punctured and he used a tube that had been in his seat bag for awhile and it had a hole in it, so we ended up changing the tube twice. The moral of the story is, if your spare tube has been in your seat bag for over a year, replace it (or at least check it). I keep mine in a…

Sure! If you do 30 minutes at 20 mph, that is 10 miles per stationary bike session. If you go every other day or so, that is 150 miles. But you can set the target at whatever you'd like. My target for October is 400 miles, I did 333.6 miles in September and I want to make a stretch goal for myself. I do stationary…

For me I'm finding it easier to get rid of stuff I've been hauling around since I was born. I have everything I have ever owned, pretty much. I look at others people's "thin" garages - no shelves full of boxes, and I think wow, where is all their stuff. My garage has been going on a diet as well. Not as fast as some people…

There have been many documentaries and comments on how a person should only go around the perimeter of the grocery store as that is where all the "food" is! Great job figuring that out for yourself. The amount of salt in prepared food is very high. One downside with wanting to eat healthier is having to make all the food I…

I had to go out and buy new, smaller belts!

How many days are in October again? :-) "Okay Google"... 31 days. I'm signing up for a stretch goal of 400 miles, and I'm already behind, yikes! 10/03 - 12.0 miles, REB (Recumbent Exercise Bike), 12.0 down 388 to go.

9/30 = 13.3 The Loop, 333.6 miles (536.9 kilometers) total for September Woot! Wife and I are cleaning up the garage for indoor winter training, so I'm all set for the October challenge! Great Job everyone!

9/29 = 13.3 The Loop, 320.3

Is a brake pad rubbing on the rim? Might need to adjust for new pads?

Yeah, strangers are more often approaching me to chat.

9/1 = 24.5 9/2 = 13.3, 37.8 total 9/5 = 18.8 on recumbent exercise bike, 56.6 9/6 = 13.3 The Loop, 69.9 9/7 = 16.2, 86.1 9/8 = 12.0 recumbent, 98.1 9/9 = 24.5, 122.6 9/12 = 13.3 The Loop, 135.9 9/13 = 21.5, 157.4 9/15 = 13.3 The Loop, 170.7 9/17 = 13.8 - Flume Trail - Mountain Biking, 184.5 9/18 = 24.4 - TRT & Flume Trail…

I've started bumping into people more. Not actually bumping into them physically, but causing them to change direction. For example, I'm walking in the mall and I see a group of three people walking towards me and I change direction slightly to avoid them, however they also changed direction at the same time, so I change…

9/8 11.0 on the recumbent at 9 pm., 97.1 total

Hi, New to the challenge. Does stationary count? I ride the stationary recumbent at home in the morning for resistance training warm-up. I ride my road bike at work during lunch (long lunches sometimes) around Healdsburg, CA. 9/1 = 24.5 miles on Geyserville loop, counter-clockwise, with hill repeat up canyon the easy way.…

I say no to cheat days as my scheme is to work in foods I love into my plan. As other have said above, the goal is to learn how to create a diet you can live with forever. With the "forever" diet plan, there isn't "cheating" or going off the diet. If there is some food you really want, work it in to your plan (like others…

Hey All, I do a lunch ride from work and last Friday there was a new baby goat "BAH"ing at me as I drove by. I told my kids and my daughter asked me I said, "What'dYouSay?" back to the goat. There was a commercial before a movie where there was a scape goat and the goat bahs and a person on the production line throws down…
