I used to use cyclemeter because it would email my wife so she could track me on longer rides (for safety reasons), however I started using strava a couple of months ago, and like its features much better. However as several people have already noted, I use my Iphone and its GPS tends to miss segments, so I am now looking…

Vitamin B Vitamin D Fish Oil

Sriracha!!!

Waterdown

I have successfully tipped cows...but only if the service was great.

Yes, often...one scoop of vanilla Perfect Whey into a mug of coffee...stir and enjoy.

Yes. A caloric defecit is already built in to MFPs caloric calculation. Eating back your excercise calorise means the body has the nutrients to properly repair (build muscle, and maintain bone) and refuel (blood, muscle, and liver glycogen) itself from the results of the excercise.

Nov 1: was 76 minutes on the trainer (to Local Hero) Nov 2: (today) was 62 minute road rode for 33.5km (20.8 miles), for an average pace of 32.2km/hr (20.01 mi/hr). Nov 3: 90 minute road ride (cold out!!) in the morning, and in the afternoon 119 minute trail ride. Nov 5: 78 minute MTB ride. Nov 6: 80 minute MTB ride. Nov…

Im in...but because sometimes I will road ride, sometimes mountain bike, and if the weather is crap I will ride the trainer (huge fan of the Sufferfest videos!!), I will track by time (throw in ride stats when possible).

Actually, the most accurate would be a power meter...though that is not always practical (and its very expensive)...next best is a HRM...otherwise I find MFP much closer than most treadmills/elipticals.

Yup...makes you wonder what tire/wheel setup he was using. Very impressive!!

Ooops...sorry. For the zone I use this: http://www.ottawarun.com/heartrate.htm

The simplest traditional method is 226 minus your age.

I used to be a woman...then I started lifting...

One hour on the Mountain Bike yesterday. 70 minutes on the Road Bike today. Will try to get a Mountain Bike ride in tonight again.

My BA is 49, but my VA is 28.9. My life expectancy is 96.1 Hell, I want to live well while I am here, but I don't want to live that long!! Guess I need to start drinking more and taking up more dangerous hobbies! Maybe both at the same time??

The best thing about my diet soda is the whiskey in it.

Very nice!!! Great accomplishment!! Be careful...it is addicting...you are already fired up to beat your time next year!! :)

I race mountain bikes as a hobby.

I took up cycling 4 years ago at the request of a hockey buddy. I am now doing marathon/endurance mountain bike and road races! I am in a three day stage race this weekend! It is an awesome way to get and stay fit...but be warned...it is addicting!! You will shed the pounds, you will get fitter; and in no time you will be…

What the???

I like the garlic and cumin addition. The only thing missing is the protien (no there is not enough in the beans), so may have to try it with adding protein powder (which can also serve as a thickener).

Get some electrolytes in ya fast!! Like Hammer Nutrition Enduralytes.

Baby tomatoes.

Yes!! Best of luck!!!

I am active in life, with specific goals I am shooting for. I log in daily on MFP to keep myself on track, any friends who are similar that I can help, and will help keep me accountable are welcome!!

Also make sure you are doing solid research regarding proper nutrition relating to the kinds of rides you are doing.

Yup. You are setting the hook!! :) Just be aware...time on the bike = the more you love it = the more you will do it = the more you will want to be better at it = the fitter you will get = the more you will want to upgrade... More addictive than anything!!
