A bunch of riding this week. 2108 Ytd... Made it to 2023! I did not think it would take me this long... haha.

81 miles on the road yesterday on a trip to Louisville, KY. Pretty cool ride, crossed 2 big bridges. https://strava.app.link/Sd1yNHZqbAb 2020 Ytd

This weekend did a mtb trip to Brevard, NC. 2 fairly epic 3 hour rides in Pisgah/Dupont. My 20+ lb weight loss resulted in 58 PR's on strava 🤣 Sat: https://www.strava.com/activities/9108365802 Sun: https://www.strava.com/activities/9114820327 1889 Ytd

Friday 20.8 Road 1750 Ytd No riding today… headed to the beach at Isle of Palms SC

Here's an action shot of Saturdays gravel race...

24.6 MTB 1728 Ytd Strava thinks a hard 2:30 mtb ride is only worth 900 calories. haha... it's so skewed to speed. A 2 hour easy road ride gets 1800 calories. Just not even close to reality. https://www.strava.com/activities/9047934439

13 MTB First 90˚ day.... ugh. 1704 ytd https://www.strava.com/activities/9042377997

Congrats @wendsg on being the first to 2023! Consistency pays off! 17.66 Road. A recovery ride for me. Actually felt pretty good considering. 1691 Ytd Time for me to switch to MTB. Got a trip planned for Pisgah, NC in 2 weeks with a guy who got 4th in the Zwift national championships a few years ago. Plus he did it ON…

73.11 Gravel race Oof... 7930' of climbing. Started out way too hard with the lead group but stopped to help a pro girl who crashed pretty hard right in front of me (she was ok and could keep riding) so after that I was on my own which was better. It's a lot nicer to be passing people than to be passed. haha. Had a great…

If I am doing exercise 1 hour or less I won't add anything back, I treat this as bonus weight loss... longer workouts for me require more calories than the 1600 I have set up. Eg... today I did a 50 mile bike ride that took 3 hours, I probably burned about 2000-2500 calories. I will add in about 1000 calories on these long…

50.79 Road. Legs not real happy with me today. Last big training block before a gravel race next Saturday. rural south carolina ≠ france 😝 1536 Ytd https://www.strava.com/activities/8969071221

80.6 Gravel. Rode with a friend who is an ex-pro who raced in Europe and was on the US National team. It was good having him along but the route did not lend itself to lots of drafting. We were cruising along pretty good today on some great gravel roads. Just a stellar day to be out on a bike.…

61 Road with gravel wheels. Wind was brutal... suffered a lot today. Ytd 1282 https://www.strava.com/activities/8915537107

Yeah, I know thats a loaded comment. I just don't feel the need or urge to eat until late in the afternoon so that's fasting but I'm not dogmatic about it. The other benefit for me is larger meals later and it keeps my blood sugar stable (Not diabetic but have had sugar crashes in the afternoon if I eat breakfast or…

No ride today but I did dig a 60' trench 2' deep... does that count? :D

20.5 road 1151 Ytd

80.7mi Gravel, 6109' of climbing. Strava says I burned 5000 cal, haha. What a day... Legs, head, bike were perfect. Had a 12mph headwind for the last 30mi which sucked but luckily it was a lot of descending at that point. I need a beer... 1130 Ytd https://www.strava.com/activities/8862399462

Just wanted to say how grateful I am to have found MFP. I've spent years trying to "ride the weight off" unsuccessfully. Just flogging myself with no results. I raced bikes in my 30's and 40's and when I stopped I lost that structure and the weight crept up. I was just unable to physically do the rides I wanted to do…

34 Road (gravel wheels) 1049 Ytd https://www.strava.com/activities/8848659845 Was going to Brevard, NC to ride MTB this weekend but it's gonna be pouring rain on Saturday. So I've switched gears and have a really big gravel ride planned for Sunday.
