What Bike(s) do you own?

[bluebug32]

'09 Cannondale Synapse Hi Mod Feminine Red
'07 Kona Jake the Snake (for sale...by the way )
'05 Kona King Kikapu
'05 Kona Cinder Cone

I'm getting married this summer, so not sure how lofty my biking goals will be. Started to train with a group and coach this year, so hoping to get faster and be able to put in more time/miles.

'09 Cannondale Quick 4 - Hybrid
'10 Felt ZW100 - 1st road bike (craigslist)
'10 Orbea Diva

Main bike until today has been the Felt. I ride about 70-100 miles a week (in better weather at least!). I've only been riding 6 months and am lovin' it!!

[SLash]

My most recent purchase is a 2010 Jamis Aurora Elite. (Just named her Bella, 'cause she's beautiful and thinks she's Italian - I wish she had Campy)

I've only ridden her once but from that first ride I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't become my bike of choice. Steel is real as they say.

2005 Scott CR1 Pro (full carbon with Campy Centaur), presently my bike of choice. "Rocket"
2006 KHS Urban X which I will be selling - never rode it much "Tank"
1994 Giant Cadex with Shimano Ultegra, my trainer bike "Ol' Blue"


My mileage goal for this year is at least 2000. We have two tours planned so that should help get the miles. Goal last year was 2000 and only did 1504. If the weather cooperates (and no accidents/injuries - knock wood) should be able to get the 2000 no problem.

Glad to see someone else with an Orbea! Aren't they great???

What a fun thread

!995 Trek 8700 hardtail
2000 Specialized Stumpjumper FSR
2009 KHS Alite 2000
2009 KHS XC604

Cannondale BlacklIghtning with Campy Record

Cannondale 911 frame (CAD5) built up with Campy Chorus(trainer bike, bad weather bike)
Custom Ti frame built up with Campy Record w/Campy wheels(builder of frame no longer in business) This is my favorite, and I ride most of the time.
2010 KHS Flite 720 built up with Campy Chorus haven't been able to ride this much as of yet... beautiful bike though, color is lavendar
Soma Double Cross built up with Ultegra 9 speed for touring (still finishing the wheels for this)

Winter mileage(trainer time) 100-125 miles
In season: 125-160 depending on what I'm training for.
Haven't decided whether I'm goiong to race mtn bike(first time) or will concentrate on hillclimbs. Any suggestions? Also want to do some self contained touring.

I have to laugh... this is going to be like the "show us your pets thread"! Ask us about our pets or our bikes and we're in!

'08 Cannondale Synapse Fem 1
'09 Surly Cross Check

I do the most miles on the Cannondale. Love, love, love that bike. My Surly is my run to the post office bike, my winter studded tire bike, my rail-trail/dirt road bike, my touring bike, etc. On the rare occasion that I want to do single track I borrow my son's Trek MTB.

Goals for 2010....
My first goal was to ride outside through the winter which I managed to do, despite the snow! My goal was 1000 miles from January 1-March 31 and I am on track for that. Last Tuesday I did my first metric century of the year and was so happy that I did a metric by the first week of March and it was easy!

During the season, I'll ride 500-800 miles a month, depending on what else is going on in my life. Last year I did 18 metric centuries and 2 centuries. This year I would like to do at least 10 centuries and 20 metric centuries. I want to ride in some new places, maybe do a few high mileage multi-day events, and do a one-day organized ride with my husband and kids.

I'm getting married this summer, so not sure how lofty my biking goals will be.

Congratulations, Bluebug!

Let's see... My bikes are...

2008 Trek Madone 5.1
1991-ish Miyata steel
Some sort of mid-1990s Trek mountain bike

I really only ride the Madone. (Rumor has it the mountain bike has a flat, but I haven't bothered to check it out.) I love my Madone. I love my husband for encouraging me to buy the Madone.

Goals: I would like to do 3,000 km this year, but I'm already a bit behind schedule (and probably looking at knee surgery in the next couple of months, too). Ç'est la vie. I'm really pleased with my current level of fitness and how I'm climbing, so if I can keep that up, I'll be happy.

[Lesley_x]

I have a Giant Roam 2 W hybrid bike. It's my baby. Has the most beautiful matt finish. I hope to get a road bike one day but I wanted to find my feet on something a little easier to ride.



My major goals are to lose weight, feel fit and improve my health. I feel like I'm already on my way

I'm currently riding about 6 days a week, 5 miles a day. It's not much, but I've only been riding about 2 weeks haha!

[Zen]

If i answered this already, I wonder how that answer would compare to today's answer?

Heh.

[zoom-zoom]

I ride a 2010 Cannondale Synapse Féminine 5..."Oberon" (I call her "Oby," for short)

I have been riding 2-3 days/week on the trainer since I got her in November...with a handful of outdoor rides when weather has been decent. I've averaged 40-50 miles most weeks in the last month or two.

I'm hoping to ride 3-4 days/week now that weather is improving and am training for a duathlon in late April, then a few century rides in Summer and Fall. Not really sure on mileage goal...maybe 1500-2k miles. I'm also running regularly and hoping to hit 1200 or so miles with that, so I'm taking it easy with the cycling for this first year until I decide what I want my emphasis to be. Right now running is my primary sport.

[jusdooit]

Trek 820, Diamondback Centurion designed Venture, Fuji Silhouette. The Fuji is the newest and what I currently ride. I'm just getting started again for the season. Plan to ride 25-30 miles 3-4 times a week with at least one longer ride a week. My goals for this year are to drop the 30 pounds I've gained and to do a full century by the end of the year.

2004 Trek Fuel Full Suspension Mntn Bike
2005 Giant TCR 2 Road Bike
2008 Giant Suede

Goals: Mountain Biking, 20 to 45 miles of single track a week (after spring thaw). Work on my technical skills, speed, climbing abilities, etc. I have 2 races: Ore 2 Shore and Iceman. My goal is to finish in 2:30 at Iceman.

Road riding:
Hit one fast group ride a week. Maybe next year I'll do more road riding, but this year its all about the trails.

Giant Suede:
The family bike. I'm hoping to do lots of family bike rides down the bike path, to the store, playground, around the 'hood, etc. I'm really looking forward to this. I'll have the tag-a-long bike behind me, and the burley trailer behind that with DD and DS.

My bikes:

• 1996 Trek 700 Multi-Track hybrid w/ Xtracycle - purchased in grad school, converted to be my minivan last October

• 1999 Sycip road tandem - our wedding present to ourselves. Doesn't get used so much these days, but we're hoping to put a stoker conversion kit on it so that our almost 7 year old can ride it with one of us and start getting him out on some longer rides

• 2001 Torelli Corsa Strada road bike - this was my 30th bday present from my husband and I love it. In February for my 39th bday, we just upgraded the Campy Veloce 9 speed gruppo to the Athena 11 speed. I sometimes think I want to try a lighter road bike, just to see if it would improve my hill climbing and speed, but this fits me so perfectly and is just so comfy that I can't quite motivate to do it.

• 2008 Felt F1X cross bike - just got this off of eBay 2 weeks ago and haven't ridden it more than around the block yet. We re-ran the brake cable yesterday, after removing the in-line brakes, and I still need to adjust the rear derailleur before I can get out and see how I like it. The stem feels a little long and the handlebars feel a little wide, but we'll see!

• 2009 Sweetpea custom 650b mixte - my 'round town, do everything bike, but dang, it can haul *** when I want or need it to. And it can climb well too, thanks to the compact double on the front and 11-34 mountain cassette on the rear. Someday, I hope to do some longer tour rides with it since I have a front and rear rack for it. When the boys are older and we can do some bike camping. I love and adore this bike and it was well worth the wait.

I also have a hand-me-down Trek 5200 OCLV, that lives at my in-law's cottage in Michigan. It's a touch big for me, but I only ride it for 2 weeks a year, so that's ok.

Goals:

• Ride as much as I can, whenever I can. Sometimes, that means 2 miles a day, taking the boys to school and back. I'd love to get out on long "real" rides more often, but until both of them are in full-day school, five days a week, I don't see it happening. And since my husband rides too, we usually have to divvy up the weekend mornings.

• My other goal is to ride and finish at least one cross race this fall.

• Get stronger on hills. I've been working at this, and I'm getting better, but I've got a ways to go still.

• Finally do a century. I've done a metric century, but never a full 100 miles. It's about darn time.

Bikes (sorry - don't know all the model years):

- 2010 Specialized Tarmac team bike (DH just finished the build today)
- 2006 or 07 Kestrel Evoke
- 200? Rocky Mountain Turbo
- 2009 Specialized Transition TT bike
- Cannondale Tandem (since we have 2 of these, I can count one as mine, right?)

- Specialized TriCross
- Ridley Cross Fire
- Kona Major One (SS)

- Specialized Epic Marathon
- Soul Cycles Hooligan (SS)
- Unnamed Carbon Hardtail MTB

Yeah - um, N+1 is definitely in effect at my house

As to which I ride the most? Can't tell you. In the winter, on the rollers, it's been the Rocky Mtn. In race season, it will be the Tarmac. All depends on what I am doing, or feel like riding. I know that life is tough in my world when my biggest decision of the day is which bike to ride .

Goals for this year:

Racing for our women's Elite team, so hoping not to suck!

Bikes:

2006 Trek 1600 - a friend gave this one to me since it was too small for her. After riding it for a while, I realized it was also too small for me so it's in storage.

2009 Trek Madone 4.5 - this is my commuter bike so it's the one I ride the most.

2009 Trek Madone 5.2 - my favorite

Since I try to commute 4 out of my 4 working days (weather and schedule permitting) and I try to do long rides on the weekends, at a minimum, I am riding around 150-200 miles per week. Once the weather gets nicer, the mileage will increase.

2010 goals:

Try to figure out how to get faster (if possible) since I might start racing and I would like to be able to hang with the faster riders on the group rides.

Trying to be more consistent with the weekend group rides (in other words, DON'T sleep in!)

A couple of centuries (did my first one in September and it was a blast).

Keep on enjoying it!
