lol! i TRY to ride 6 days a week.... i was going to back it down to 5 days a week.... and do succeed with that sometimes (moreso lately it seems)Originally Posted by Brandy
naturally i tri to ride every saturday and sunday.... and try to ride longer rides those days... depending on the weather or what we have going on...
this year... mon-thurs... i ride immediately after work (trying to beat the dark in the winter... and just cuz if i come home and relaxe in the spring/summer... i may not get back off my duff to go outside and ride) i've actually only been riding an average of 15-20 miles on wordays this year.. thus the lower mileage..... last year i had a ton of 25-30 mile after work days!
sometimes i climb... sometimes i stay on the flattest areas (which still aren't completly flat)
most workday after work rides.... i ride alone.... sometimes hubby will meet up with me, if he commuted that day... and ride a bit with me...
hmmmmm a lot of weekends he'll ride with me at least one of the days... unless he's sick of going slow.... or has something specific he's working toward....
sometimes i get mad when he rides with me... cuz he acts like "evil coach hubby" pushing me GRRRRRRRRR why not just ride? lol!
for me... i started riding as part of my fitness program when i couldn't do aerobics (cuz i couldn't hardly walk cuz i dropped a bottle of wine on my toe... yes... the bottle of wine was ok!) i liked riding and a few days later bought my first road bike... so i have a different mindset then he does or a lot of riders have... it's not all about going fast for me... i prefer going longer and burning more calories so i can eat more (but then... i've gained weight since taking up cycling! EEK!)
i have my "i don't want to ride" moments.. had one yesterday!but usually once i'm out there riding... i'm OK!



How often do you ride and how many miles? Give me a week in the life of caligurl. Please
but usually once i'm out there riding... i'm OK!
