Newbie weekly achievement thread

I did 10 miles on Sunday, my longest yet. Next time though, I'll remember the sunblock. Temp on my bike computer read 105.5 (asphalt trail)!

May I add, bikers are so nice. Had to stop a few times outside of rest areas and every time I did, everyone passing asked if I just resting or needed help. I really liked that.

Definitely take it easy in that heat!





Rode 20.4 miles in 1h and 22m today. The first 10 miles I tried to go easy but then pushed pretty hard the last 10. I am excited to have a new 'puter on my bike so I can start tracking this type of data and hopefully see improvements! Next goal: Thirty on Thursday. Why? Because that is all I need to break 100 miles this week!

I finally got my bike out and decided to start riding again and I found this forum. So many helpful tips and friendly advice that I decided to join you all. There is no question I have a lot to learn!

I have done two 5 mile rides this week. Hills, hills & hills. Hopefully, soon I won't have to stop and walk up some of them.

Nice! I also love the computer, makes it so much easier to see what I'm doing and to give myself little goals to meet.
