Sorry to hear that! Hope it gets fixed so you can enjoy a nice long ride next time!

Got 10 miles in this morning in 45 minutes---a new PR for me =) Only 30 more miles to squeeze into 11 days to finish out my goal. June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 44.5 mi June 19---10 mi (45 min stationary) June 16---6 mi (30 min stationary) June 12-- 13 mi (60 min stationary) June 10---6.25 mi (30 min stationary)…

I'm hoping that I'm in your shoes by this time next year---right now 400 miles a month sounds unachievable but I love hearing testimonies like yours to inspire me. =) Will also pass on the Strava info to my hubby, who sometimes rides to work---he loves data like that!
-
What a great ride! Good job!
-
Another ride today =) June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 34.5 mi June 16---6 mi (30 min stationary) June 12-- 13 mi (60 min stationary) June 10---6.25 mi (30 min stationary) June 8---9.25 mi (45 min stationary)

Wow, over halfway done already! Gonna have to up your goal! =)
-
Great week!

Thanks, autumnlily =) Exciting morning: I did my first postpartum 13 miler in under an hour. It felt amazing and I am pretty dang proud of myself! Can't wait to repeat it a few more times and then attempt my favorite (but killer) spin class with the hubby in a month or so! June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 28.5 mi…

Another ride this morning---6.25 mi. Feels awesome to get my heart pumping and legs burning again =) June Goal: 75 miles June Miles to Date: 15.5 mi June 10---6.25mi (30 min stationary) June 8---9.25 mi (45 min stationary)

Whoops---posted in the "look-alike" thread but now I found the right one! I'm back in. I had my sweet baby boy one month ago via c-section and I have been working on slowly cycling a few times in the last couple weeks, (to keep my knee scar tissue broken up,) but today I did my first "halfway normal" ride of 9.25 miles in…

I am scheduled for my surgical delivery in about 32 hours! I figure having done my last ride 48 hours prior to birth isn't too crazy, right? lol Thanks for the well wishes!
-
Going out (and maxing out my soon-to-be-born baby's heart benefits) with a bang: 8 slow and hard miles this morning. Pretty stoked because I finished crocheting a "baby bike helmet" last night---he's going to look so cute in it and it will be a great keepsake to remember how influential cycling was on this pregnancy. Have…

Got into the gym today for that 6 miler I skipped yesterday! May goal: ??? May total: 12 miles May 5----6 miles stationary (30 minutes) May 2----6 miles stationary (31 minutes)
-
Great to have more people in---so encouraging to see all the miles that get logged everyday!
-
Didn't mean to imply that you were excluding anyone; I'm sorry if it came off that way toward your post =/ I just still feel pretty strongly toward the use of the term "real cycling" that I referenced earlier---I feel that is divisive, which is against the purpose of this thread. I hope someone else is able to better…
-
I didn't mean to start a debate. In fact, I thought/think the point of this thread is to include all cyclists, since we're all working the same muscles, use the same determination and getting the same benefits! =) I actually have the opposite issue. On my stationary at the gym, I average 12-14mph while on the road, it is…
-
"Real cycling" seems a little harsh to say. Some of us are limited to indoor cycling for safety, balance and other reasons and pass it off as sarcasm. The rest of your post is helpful and encouraging, but honestly, I didn't read past the second sentence initially. For a change, I actually planned to do a 6 miler this…
-
That's sweet of you to say =)

First ride of the month---6 slow miles. May goal: ??? May total: 6 miles May 2----6 miles stationary (31 minutes)

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and just finished biking 120 miles in the month of April, in addition to another 6 miler this morning. I plan to do 2 more rides before my scheduled C-section (this is my fifth baby,) next Thursday. Exercise in this pregnancy (3 days of cardio a week, 2 lifting and 2 yoga sessions up until…
-
I'll stick with this thread =) My goal for May is small---just a few 4 mile rides before I have my baby next week and then maybe a few in the last week of May----25 miles total. Can't wait to see what everyone else can do now that the weather has perked up!
-
On another note, it's great to see everyone bumping up their mileage goal----it's amazing what our bodies can achieve once we get started! Biking is kind of addictive ;)
-
Slow and steady wins the race---or achieves the goal! I finished up today with a 9 miler and hit 120mi for the month and 500 YTD. I feel kind of like Forrest Gump did at the end of his "runnin'" =) Still going to aim for 2 more *short* rides in the next 8 days before baby gets here just to keep my knee "loose." April goal:…
-
Another 9miles on the books---1 more ride to go in April =) April goal: 100 miles April miles to date: 111 miles (111% of goal) April 27---9 mi stationary (45 min) April 24---14.25 mi stationary (70 min) April 22---8.75mi stationary (40 min) April 19---15.5mi stationary (80 min) April 18---4mi stationary (20 min) April…

What a great activity to do together! We have an "alleycat" that allows my 5 year old to tail me but I'm in the same boat as you---I need to "upgrade" her bike to the next size!
-
Made it to 100---going to try and squeeze another 2 rides in to get a total of 115 (and 500miles YTD) before I throw in the towel and focus on getting this baby born! April goal: 100 miles April miles to date: 102 miles (102% of goal) April 24---14.25 mi stationary (70 min) April 22---8.75mi stationary (40 min) April…

Started another week of working toward my goal. I think I'll hit the 100 miles this week and plan to keep going---might hit 110 by the end of the month. April goal: 100 miles April miles to date: 87.75 miles (almost 88% of goal)<liking this easy math! ;) April 22---8.75mi stationary (40 min) April 19---15.5mi stationary…

2 more rides this week---a nice LISS 15.5miler this morning! April goal: 100 miles April miles to date: 79 miles (79% of goal)<liking this easy math! ;) April 19---15.5mi stationary (80 min) April 18---4mi stationary (20 min) April 16---8mi stationary (40 min) April 12---13mi stationary (60 min) April 10---7mi stationary…

I totally read your post as that you go for 25 miles---on an indoor bike----and was going to ask how long that takes you! I had some serious inferiority feelings but then 1 read 25 min. Sheesh! I know a lot of people in the group hit big miles on outdoor rides but I can't imagine doing such a long ride indoors without…
