TE December Indoor Cycling Challenge

[Veronica]

Avoid the holiday 5 pound gain and join the indoor cycling challenge! You can do your choice of videos, rock out to music, watch a movie or Dancing with the Stars. You just gotta ride your bike - rollers, trainer, spin classes. Whatever. And I don't really care if you want to count your outside time as well. It's YOUR goal.

How many hours can we spend collectively riding indoors? 100? 200? I figure I'm good for 10 - 2 hours per week, plus an extra hour each week I'm off.

I've set up a google spreadsheet to track progress. It is open to editing by anyone who has the link, so if you want to sign up, I'll send you the link in a PM.

Happy Riding!

I do, I do. Please send me the link. Thanks for your hard work!

I'm definitely interested as well! Hoping to get some more outside time before returning to the trainer fulltime for the next few months.

Happy Holidays everyone and thanks for trhe effort V!

[Owlie]

Sure! I'm off the outside-bike for the moment as it is.

[maillotpois]

I'm in!

[Tri Girl]

I'm IN!!!
I commit to 30 hours of riding in December- that's roughly 7 hours a week. Shouldn't be too hard since almost 4 hours a week is spent commuting.

Yay! I'm so excited to have a challenge. Now... if the pain in my leg turns out to NOT be a stress fracture and I'm able to run again soon- my cycling time might go down and the running time up. However, if it IS a stress fracture, my cycling time might shoot up to 50 hours in December. I'll find out Friday.

I'm in! My total trainer time might be in the 15-20 hours range for December.... My running needs to pick up again.

[bmccasland]

I'm in! Am supposed to ride my trainer, part of the continuing project to make friends with my repaired knee.

I forgot to say - I put the start date in so if you wanted to start earlier - you could. Or start later.

I was hoping I could start today, but my head and neck are still not 100% after crashing from my handstand on Sat. and they were aching after my day with the kiddos. My kids were great, amazingly quiet this morning.

I don't have ride time planned until Thursday now - which is the first.

46 minutes with Coach Troy doing Recharge. It's a good video to do after a tough day to spin out your legs. Yesterday was leg day with Shawna. Man, my glutes are sore! One legged squats in the hack squat machine...

I listened to Christmas carols from A Very Special Christmas vol. 1 and 2.

Today's video was Dropping the Hammer. Love it/hate it. It's a great workout, but it is hard.

would love the link- hate indoor riding- but having mileage accountability would help!! Can we mix it up if we have a good weather day?

[Veronica]

Attempted Tough Love today. I got through 2:44 of it. I just had nothing left for that last set.

The thing about this video is he gives so little rest. I think the longest soft pedal is 3 minutes after a 30 minute set. In Hillacious you get 4 minutes after working for just 8!

It's good (if cold) riding weather outside right now--little wind, sunny, dry, upper 30s. I just don't trust myself enough not to push too hard.

28minutes yesterday. I'm going to finish my tea and see if I can do 45 minutes.
