54km done and I'm going back to bed

Nice Parker


25kms before the kids got up this morning cold and dark at 5.45am will get some more winter bike clothes and another light. It's only going to get colder!

40km for me today in the park as I said before, boring as Bat s

It's a bit like that, isn't it? Summer is much less complicated! It was about 9 degrees on my ride this morning but it was the wind that hurt, I did a bit of online shopping today (on my lunch break of course...) and bought some new warm things for riding. I realised I'll have some nice winter bike clothes but no money for nice winter non bike clothes. Oh well!

LOL, yup, your a real cyclist now, when you spend more on gear to wear on the bike and having nothing left over for clothing for off!

What did you get??

Nice Apple...I had a look

I've been slack since the wkend... Time to hit the indoor trainer this evening I think... Sufferfest here I come!

60km today and it was hard with the wind. Off for a massage now.

Woke up at 4.45am for a ride, hit the cancel button on the alarm and stayed in bed....3 days off the bike now

No need for this face Lisa. I woke up at 5.45am and did exactly the same thing!

Lol, tomorrow's another day, and we're planning on getting up early to ride before work...again!

Usually we meet another 2 or 4 riders which is motivating in its self to get up and not disappoint other people, but not this morning! Mr MM and I looked at each other and said nope, we're having more sleep ...easy when no-one else is waiting for you!

Maybe 50km in the last two days... With two 4km runs

Well done parker,
I have been exercising my mouth, lots of chewing going on . It’s just too cold for anything else

I hope you're going to do a couple of laps over the mountain tomorrow?

Am I allowed to heckle in this thread?

Sure thing, Comedian, heckle away

No, not the mountain, probably an early, cold and quick run into town and back home....it's Mother's Day tomorrow.

Thanks thanks! It's really cold here today... I don't think I want to do anything but I'm gonna head tp black rock for a few k's

Not much training happening at my end thanks to the crumby lower back BUT....I'm not going to let it get me down like it once did! I've booked in for some intensive one on one pilates sessions from next week which is the beginning of getting stronger for me. Setting up the indoor trainer this week and am going to start off with some light spinning and as the back progresses slowly ramp up the intensity. Yes I can accept I'm not as strong on the bike as I was last year but that's no reason to think I can't get back to that level again (Besides I have the ladies tour de snowies to prepare for )

80kms today! Where is everyone?

I'm here...has the onset of winter forced everyone to hibernate???

56k for me today, only my 2nd ride for this week , hubby bought me an uber bright light this week so I can see the potholes and glass at 5am when it is dark out, going to give it a try-out tomorrow morning.
I'll feel more confident of being seen with my new light compared to my old one

Good riding Julie.

Only my second ride this week as well Lisa! I've been sick, kids have been sick and the mornings are so cold! I'll give the mornings a go next week, was glad to get on the bike today and will go again tomorrow.

A brighter light makes such a difference! Very thoughtful of hubby

My k's are way down again, but I've been keeped very warm at night so I'm not complaining. Bikes going on the trainer for the rest of winter... Too friggen cold!

I'm on trainer a bit and running again in prep for duathalon

Starting Pilates this afternoon - does this count as training???
