Whats going on buddy ?. The only plan i have is to ride my bike as much as possible. As of 10/ 7/10 to 10/7/11 i have 4,700 miles on my bike. I started the new year today with 30.3 miles. My goal is to to get 6,000 miles by this time next year.

Bigboi that is a nice looking fixxie.

I did my personal best today on the group ride, this was with the Traing ride or the A group. We were doing a Rotating Pace line. My ride
was 77.5 miles, & 3hrs & 35 minutes long. My average speed was 21.1 mph, with my max speed being 32.7mph. My max heart rate was
175 bpm, while my while my average was 149 bpm, & my legs feel great. My max cadence( rpm) was 122 rpm, while my average was 86 rpm.
I burned a total of 2,270 calories. I ended up with a total of 217 miles for the week. So i think i will take tomorrow off.

I'd love to burn those kind of calories. I dont keep up with it though. I have managed to take 285lbs and knock it down to 225lbs. Most of the time on a rigid singlespeed. I'll get 1000 miles + for the year. Average speed in the dirt is about half that if Im lucky.

Those are great numbers Hippie! did you managed to get some good miles ahead, in front of the group?

I just returned from a rather intensive 45 miles off road. We didn't push it as hard as last week, but the colder weather is killing me. (last week was about 8-10C hotter) I'm way better in the heat. my heart rate is lower, power output is higher. The cold just isn't my thing. Seems like my body is fighting to reach the right temperature. (i've got small sweetspot, with cold i'm shivering like a Chihuahua, and in the heat i'm like a tropical rainstorm) Still, i'm way stronger in the heat though.

I got a new group set for my cannondale, a nice sram red. I personally favor sram over shimano in terms of shifting precision. I'll get some pics of it online when she's finished.

The season has kind of ended for me; with all the rain coming, i start to run more. It's a tad more intense, but it helped me maintain my condition for riding. The combo works miracles for me. 2 runs a week, in combination with one slow ride for a longer distance.

No i did not get ahead of the group. Most of those miles were with the group, except for the miles i rode too the ride & home from the ride. My Madone has Sram Red as well.

Also i got a Job at the local Bike shop FULL time as a Mechanic & sales.
