Did 17 miles in an hour, which is a personal best (I will never be considered a *fast* cyclist. No 22 mph…

6/1 - 23 miles 6/2 - 23 miles 6/3 - 7 miles 6/6 - 23 miles 6/7 - 23 miles - had a great ride home, averaging 16 mph, a personal best for my evening commute. Followed it up with a 3.5 mile run, wherein I averaged a 12 minute mile, which is pretty darn good for me. Hoping to be able to keep up the bike/run a few days a week…

Heyyyy, I've slacked off on posting these last few weeks, oops! Monthly goal is to try (once again, didn't do too hot in May) to do brick workouts 3 days a week - 2 days during the week while I bike home and then run after work, and one day on the weekend where I swim/bike/run. The lake near my house (which is also the…

I remembered to wear my waterproof timberlands in the morning but forgot to pack my rain jacket. Ah well, at least my feet were dry, even if nothing else was! Month…

Thanks for all the well wishes guys! The problem when this happens (and it sadly happens every few months) is that immediately afterwards I'm in a semi state of shock and just try to gather myself together and get going again. Only after a few blocks do I think, huh, I should have said something. Bah! I'm pretty sure I'm…

5/3 - 23 miles 5/4 - 23 miles 5/5 - 23 miles 5/6 - 23 miles - gorgeous gorgeous 60 degree weather for the ride in. Almost made a fool out of myself though - I'd clipped out in anticipation of a stop, but my cleats got caught on the pedal and I almost went down in front of a police officer and a bunch of construction…

Welcome! Start short, add a bit at a time and the distance will grow before you know it. First time out I made it like a mile from my house before I turned around. Now I'm thinking I'd like to bike across the country (yeah, it's a bit addictive).

Awesome, looking forward to seeing you in the biking thread :) Make sure you bring us a picture of your bike!

I was going to say neither, go with steel, and low and behold you already have a steel bike! Now, there were good steel frames and there were less than good steel frames, but if it's a good steel frame that's comfortable for you with the geometry you want, it might be worth taking it to the LBS and just upgrade the…

Looks like we've got a lot more people this go around. Yaay! Haven't managed to convince myself to run after biking yet. Procrastination is my specialty! Hooboy this tri is going to be fun :/ 5/3 - 23 miles 5/4 - 23 miles 5/5 - 23 miles Month to date: 72 miles Year to date: 1240 miles

Yaaay lookit all the people joining! Welcome welcome! Mixing it up a bit this month - rather than a mileage goal, I'm going to do aim for specific workouts. I signed up for a sprint tri in August and haven't done any training. Biking I've got down, swimming will be ok, but running is 110% not my forte. I can shuffle…

May thread is up (and of course I misspelled challenge. Thank god for the edit function). Happy May ya'll! http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10382090/may-2016-bike-bicycle-cycling-challenge
