durk Posted January 12, 2020 Report Share Posted January 12, 2020 Took a 15 mile ride in the rain today. I roped a couple of buddies into the soggy ride. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durk Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 My oldest daughter Tory and I got out for a bicycle ride. We both enjoyed the ride, but man am I out of shape. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Posted April 8, 2020 Report Share Posted April 8, 2020 I bought a set of Bontrager RXL wheels with a 10 speed hub. Anybody need a sweet deal on some American built wheels? FML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricer1 Posted April 20, 2020 Report Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Rode the bike the cardiologist restricted 20 miles and put the Shimano cleats on my new Sidi Genius 7 Mega shoes. I keep saying I've turned the page on the 20 mile limitation, but it's hard, before the HA I rode 700 miles the month of June 2017. I have said it many times and it's true, if you asked me to go on a 20 mile ride I wouldn't even get dressed to go for a 20 mile ride. Got to turn the page..... glad to be alive and able to ride!

Just got dominator 7's the other week. I'm hoping they break in, my old dragons are much more comfotable. Is that 20 at a time or per day...?

JustinNck1 Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 I bought a bicycle! I know it’s nothing compared to the bikes you guys got, but I haven’t owned a bike since I was a kid. My fiancé and I decided to buy cheap Walmart bikes, see how much we ride, then if we see we’re enjoying it, we will buy more quality bicycles. I got a 700c hybrid and she got a cruiser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just put a new climbing toy together. I have to test ride and make fit adjustments before I wrap the bar, but it will be dialed in by May. We should get together and ride. I am nowhere near in shape enough to do more than 20 miles at anything hot enough to call quick, but am very fired up to get back to "a quick 50 miles after work" condition. Three years ago I was crushing 30-50 mile rides on my fixed gear. Now I throw a sheet over it so I can't see it mocking me. Time to make a change, for sure. I had nothing remotely close to your experience happen to me, but I am still rebuilding myself from my last peronal Michael Bay Production. If you are looking for company that you are probably faster than.. I am your guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he says exercise is good, extreme exercise as I was doing is not good for people with a family history of heart attacks. My Dad died of a HA at 55 years old, my brother had his first HA at 38 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be great to ride with someone, all the guys I rode with did the miles or more, like I said they won't get dressed to ride 20 miles. The weather doesn't look great the next week, but in the future lets ride. I have to avoid hills because it forces my heart rate too high, in the past I used to look for hills to train....

TimTheAzn Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 Foot slipped off the pedal in a climbing section yesterday, lucky for me a rock stopped it. Gonna have to start looking for a rear tire for it now, too much pavement riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinNck1 Posted April 22, 2020 Report Share Posted April 22, 2020 Got my first ride in yesterday. 18 miles and I was beat. Never dreamed a head wind made that much difference. I’m sore today, but I guess that’s that’s part of adjusting to something new. I know I can’t wait to go out and ride again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
