November goal is 60 miles. I know it's really low, but for me, it's better than not having a goal. I'm not riding for weight loss anymore so there's that. 11/1 - 3 miles. Nice outside today, but my fatigue level was too high and the wind was too difficult to fight. Accompanied by She & Him, Volume 3 on the Walkman.

Check out this fitness calculator. It tells you your "fitness age" based on 5 things. I'm 53 right now. I calculated twice - once based on my current information, and the other based on 6 months ago (before I started on MFP and riding my bike 3-4 times/wk). So. Wow. My pre-MFP fitness age was 65!!! My current fitness age…

I got an earband, but I'm looking at buying something like this thing you're talking about too. I hate being cold. But I'd really rather keep riding outside than use my stationary bike. I'm too bored using it. I tried watching television while riding and I've tried listening to audio books while riding, but I just never…

So. What DO real cycling enthusiasts wear during the winter months to ride? I bought a neon yellow hoodie. :) Oh, and as suggested, I got a fleece earband.

Pretty sure my biggest issue with the cold weather will be my ears. Any suggestions?

In addition to the advice above, I would just add to get a saddle style (wide) seat for your bike.

Thanks for that. I'm disabled by illness so I have to respect my limits as limits. Last month is the first month I missed my goal. Over the months, I've gotten my longest ride up to 10.1 miles but I "crashed" after that so I keep my rides at less than 7 miles. I would love to ride distances like everyone else, but my…

Congrats on getting out and riding!
