This is great. This is my first year riding in cold weather. So far, the 59-70 degree suggested attire has worked for me.

Insane. Crazy. Scary. Unbelievable. I am sure I missed some other appropriate descriptions.

This will be my first winter, but I plan to ride. My biggest challenge is losing light. I will also increase my strength training and cross training. I am buying my cold weather gear as we speak. I am Georgia and I am told I should be able to keep going. I don't want to lose my skills.

Hi Sean and welcome. I committed to cycling this year. I also did my first challenge ride of 50 hilly miles. I still do not find any joy in climbing. I plan to train for my first century in 2013. I am not getting in as many rides as I would like these days because we are losing the sun, but I am pretty consistent. Best of…

Saddle. That was well worth it! Bottle cage. Computer. I am such a newby!

That is just awesome. Great job on the ride and on the weight loss. I look forward to completing my first century next year. You have me pumped! Thank you so much for sharing.

You sound perfectly normal. It happened. Get back on track. If this happens daily....then we need to have an intervention.

Best of luck with this. I am new to cycling as well. I find riding with others who are at my level helps for support. Riding with those more advanced helps me push myself. I find I have the confidence to push beyond what I would if alone on the ride. Happy riding!

Great job on the increase! I was getting uncomfortable around 50-60 minutes. I changed my saddle and went for a new bike fit. This was the first since when I first bought the bike. My average ride is two hours now. I just completed 4 hours. My feel on the bike at the end of that ride was better than after the 60 minute…

Increasing my calories helped me break through a plateau. I still need to update my weight loss, but the change lead to an additional 4 pounds in a short period (about 8 days). Good luck.

I am sorry and I understand your anxiety. I have a similar week ahead. With my social and business life, I eat out often. Making up your mind before you go is key. That may mean being a little inconvenient to the restaurant and asking for specially prepared food. For example, bake your fish with no added sauces or butter,…

I do a lot of cardio. I only see significant change in my size or see toning when I am strength training. I actually shrink.

Thanks everyone. Just to clarify. I was washing after each ride. She said I should wash them immediately. In other words, don't put them in the laundry for later. So, I am essentially riding and coming home to do laundry each time.

Hello everyone. I am new to cycling. I am training for my first long ride (long for me @ 47 miles) on September 1. I am super excited about the ride and connecting with other cyclists for inspiration on MFP. I dropped off my bike today for its first tune up and cleaning. I actually feel a little withdrawal. :sad:

Just awesome! Keep up the great work!
