i agree....it is hard to imagine doing that daily we could not get that many in last night due to the weather...but we still rode/ my weeknites usually dont exceed the 25 mile mark...but maybe it will..depending on who rides.... i am depating riding this weekend..supposed to be some killer hills...not sure i want to tackle them....being lazy but i will...i guess...lol

here is a group of friends we rode with last saturday...we had a blast and they are a great group....

d...oh d..... did you ride tonight>>>>> It started raining on us as we were driving to the town we were meeting people at....we were like....hmmmmmm BUT....it was still drizzlin, but we headed out anyway... I had my best average tonight...it was like I had something to prove ... woohoo...oh...and it was better than my husbands...HAHAHA Hoping it does not rain for the weekend.....we are planning a 62 mile ride(which will be my first) and another 50 I think on Sunday if time allows. I am just sayn d......I may be getting closer to ya....Im just saynnnnnnnnnnn:):_

d!!! i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it!!!!!! you are amazing and gorgeous!!!! YOu rock!!!!! hoping the rain does not stop our riding tonight.....keeping my fingers crosses

I agree with you on the step over....I had a target hybrid bike when i first started, and quickly switched to a Trek Hybrid. it has a step through which made it SO much easier for my bigggggg butt to get on the seat.....I rode it all last season. I did not switch to a road bike until this past May. I still lay my bike over at times to get on...I feel like it is way easier for me still. I fell on a mens bike on the bar before too......wow.....that god bigggg fast!!!!! OUCH! D....I know what you mean about touching the ground....and I think my seat should go up as well. I am just more confortable getting out of my pedals right now and moving it up would make it harder....but....I am also having a left knee issue....it hurts really bad...but we adjusted my cleat for my foot problem, now it is a knee problem...go freakin figure....??????????????????????????? Sometimes I wish I just could go home and not do anything....or have to think about riding..but than I walk outside, smell the air, and it is in my blood and I am raring to go.....

does your seat adjust forward and back??? What kind of bike is it?? You could take it to the local bike shop and have them help you. BUT.....you may end up on a new bike!!!!

turler DONT BE SO HARD ON YOUR SELF!!! GYM OR OUTDOORS...DOES IT REALLY MATTER??? NOOOOOO U ARE STILL DOING MORE THAN YOU WERE, 3,4, 6 MONTHS AGO.....KEEP THAT HEAD UP...AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT.... AND YOU KNOW I AGREE...IT DOES TAKE ALLOT OF TIME TO GET THE BIKE WHERE WE NEED TO GO..... THAT IS WHY I CANT RIDE EVERY NITE...I WOULD GO NUTS!!!!

Hello!!! Yea, J is right the hills were kickin his butt on that bike. I know allot of riders around here use them....but...NOT for me!!!! I miss JC btw...

d...good job on the weight loss and getting below 200!!! way to go girl!!!!! And about the trikee JC has one......there pretty cool I will stick with my purple pedal power! It is gorgeous here tonight....and I am not riding...SUCKS And just sayin....what about those COLTS!!!!!

BigB...welcome Where bouts are you from??? We are from all over the place... Mountain biking looks like allot of fun...but I looooveeeeeeeeee my road bike...... I have a friend who races mountain bikes.....crazy!!!

D! I have it on excel. If you would like it send me an email and I will forward it to you I am kind of ahead of the plan, but give and take I think it is a good plan There are 2 different plans to follow...I went to the 2 one. J...yes, it is awesome to have someone to have fun games with and compete with here. (after all that is what the thread is...hahaha) I am allot more motivated knowing someone will be kicking my rear on here if I am not putting out..... I am taking tonight off as I have to catch up on "house chores" and it is stormy on and off.....It is supposed to cool down tonight, which will make tomorrows even better

yea I messed mine up D.... with the 10 week training plan i will have 1546 miles in...NOT INCLUDING what is already done.... wohhoooo... we rock!!!!!

storms here today too.....maybe taking monday as a rest day we will see..... tommorow we are group riding 25-30 got to get to class.. d...men are such terds with words!!!!!

just checking in at lunch..in class this week D....where the heck are you???

2bhealthe... You live in Bowling Green?? WOW...I am about 2.5 hours from you!!! I live about 30 miles North of Jasper, In. I am a member of the Jasper cycling club and they have a couple who may actually be riding in your ride coming up. I am leaving for Florida on work that day, or I would be coming as well. Sounds awesome.....DO you have any other rides during the year scehduled??? Hey..I have to set a goal, or I will come home after work and sit on my butt...LOL BG...How awful!!!!.....

well, I completed and surpassed my goal for the week I am training for my first century ride, I was supposed to get in 103 miles...but I got in 118.10!! I am real excited..could defiantly use some cooler weather

wow the board has been quiet today..... I got in 23.5 tonight which pushed me over my weekly goal of 103 miles I had to get in for my training.....I went over by 15.10..woohoo!!! GO ME!!!!! Actually, we skipped out on the afternoon ride with our friends due to the heat, and went out instead with our daughter this evening. She was poundin the pavement and seeming to have a pretty good time.... I had some issues at first with my seat and knee pain...so we moved the seat back, and I am hoping that will take care of the ouch of a pain.....The new multi release cleats are ok........i have allot more movement with them, and I can get out easier...which is good...but I do still see going with a new style for next season...we will see...been checking them out....not sure....just yet... Hope all that got out today stayed cool.... I have to get in at least 112 miles for next week........I am going for at least 120......anyone up for some fun???????????

sorry have not been posting my week on here But, I got in (not including what I am doing today) 94.6 miles on the bike. I am hoping for at least a 20-30 miles ride this evening. I have decided to train for a century ride....my goal for this next week is 112 miles. everyone is doing great...keep up the excellent work

2bhealthe....YOU LOVE HILLS???? I know what Kentucky has, and You are right there are tons of hills. I am in Indiana, and we have our share as well......in fact.....as long as they are a good rolling hill and than a climb I am all good...but to just out right climb...whew!!!! Congrats on your banding.....I was itching so bad to get back out on my old single speed bike after my surgery it wasnt even funny. Now I am on a road bike...LOL. How 1 year can change you. D...You are on !!!! My goal is to at least get the training schedule in at least and that is 112 miles. So, weather permitting, schedule permitting, that is my goal. Your speed last night was amazing....what is the roads like when you get that kind of average?? triple L.....I know...I find it amazing to not be afraid to go out and "try" to do something I was afraid of doing before or something I couldnt do..... Keep it up g

oh an D...you are only 202 miles ahead!!!! I need 15 miles in this week to get my training schedule completed. I have hit it all week and currently have a pretty good thing going. Next week I have to increase by 9 miles....My friends are wanting to do a 77.6 mile ride next saturday....The ONLY way I will go is if it cooler and we go early.....Getting off the road mid day is NOT fun So D.....112 miles is the goal for me next week....JUST SAYN!!!!!

long 2 be.....WOW!!! Isnt that a great feeling to accomplish something that seemed so far away just a short time ago??? That is how I get every time I get out there. WE hit it pretty good today, but I had to stop before we got back due to the heat....it was hitting me hard, and the last 8miles were nothing but hills and more hills...I was DONE. Keep up the good work LONG 2B triple L...welcome.......you keep getting out there...keep having fun...that is what it is all about..... And good job on your surgery!!!!

well, we got in 43.6 miles ( or 44.6) cant remember....lol had to bail out of the last 4 miles due to the heat....but it was the most exhilarating feeling... We had 9 bikers with us when we met up with the group that was riding from town...we all headed back out and had a nice casual ride, yet fast paced for some...( I was one of those people at one time) anyway....it was a good day, good friends, and great roads. Hope everyone else had a good day!!!

HELLO I am dissapointed as well, but I have been pretty easy going about it when they ride. My 14 year old is going more than the 17 year old, so she is use to what my riding style is becoming. I wont worry too much, because saturday and sunday are going to kick my butt...is going to be super hot, and humid....but......it is all worth it I also got my new cleats today for my shoes..so hopefully that will be good. Have fun tonight!!!
