Gingerbread Angels: The scariest biker group in Peep Town (Page 5)

Sounds like an awesome and fun ride!

& KathyG - tough ride, keep climbing and be so ready for IMLP. 

Stacie...2 hours this week after not riding for a  year rocks!

 Keep up the consistent training

Single leg pedaling is great but for me takes lots of concentration.

How fast was your 1000 meter? Excellant to make a PB..yep Masters seems to be working for you~ 

Dang that looks challenging. Is it constant uphill like the graph looks?

Nice muscular endurance workout for sure..wow!

How fast did you top out at?  

There is a spike at mile 15 that goes up to the tunnel which to me is the toughest climb until past  Acton .    Down in my  Lowest gear , feeling  the burn .   After the tunnel (mile15 or so)  the climbing is undulating but less severe .  Its in a  steep canyon and very rural  .  Speed on the return trip was sustained at 32-34 mph for long stretches  with some bits at 40mph .   I tried this ride last weekend but was blown back early by  the severe wind . 

Hey everyone, we are working our way towards the goal.  With just over 25% of the month done (at least by midnight) we are nearly 21% of the team goal - that with a couple of folks who haven't found their bikes yet. 

Clocks change tonight, so for those of us with "normal" work schedules, that opens up more evening time to get outside.  Let's build, have fun and be in position for a great season! 

I looked through the thread quickly and can't find the link to update my mileage. Could someone do it for me or put the exact instructions for me...

5h 33m 47s  - 90.21 Mi for the month so far out of 400 miles

Riding with CT BTers tomorrow but only 30 ish. Monday another brick of 45 miles then we go on a cruise and will sadly not ride for 5 days. I did get my plan from my coach for the rest of the month and I should be able to hit 400 miles if weather is good. 

Done!

So I've been incommunicado for awhile because I was embarrassed -- couldn't or wouldn't get out for a ride for over a week.  I got a few trainer rides in, but that's not appropriate for Florida.   

Anyway, I finally did hit the road today, and boy did it feel good!  Had some adventures, though, including running into a group of soldiers (with guns) -- actually, they never turned around so I hightailed it out of there before they saw me.  Before you start wondering, though... I ride on a military range and they were probably national guard troops training.

REMINDER!!! Week 1 of challenge finishes on Sunday - PLEASE make sure your team is updated for week 1 by the end of the day Monday as I will be trying to have an update posted for the challenge by the time the USA wakes up on Tuesday morning.

If your team is using google spreadsheet I will be logging on and grabbing your week 1 totals from there... if your team is using another method or reporting please let me know in the team leaders thread and post the results there.

Update will include:

- General challenge gossip from all teams

- the % of goal achieved by team

- Any major individual achievements mentioned in the team threads

Thanks for your help

I rode with other BTers along Long Island sound with 20 mph winds and the real feel of 30-35..it was great but challenging ride for 2:45.

8h 13m 26s - 126.98 Mi for month total so far.

Thanks for the links..I was able to update the speadsheet.

Ride lots Angels! 

Awesome!!

Not hurting butt is cool too 

Way to go everyone.  Let's launch from here for a fantastic month! 

Remember, those of you with a run focus this month, that time on the bike is a good - low impact - fitness enhancer  

Hey Angels!

I vote we start calling Peto Primo Charlie

Anyway, I am BACK in business! Moving is done with the hard part and I'm back at home where my bike is, so I can start getting some miles in. My new place has good bike and running trails, so I'm excited to get going on them. My bike is going to the shop later this week for a tune up (learning on the clipless pedals and a few falls and it's acting weird) but in the mean time, I'm back in for stationary and spin class miles!

And you guys ROCK!  I'm so impressed with the riding so far this month by everyone!!  Go team  

Hi team - week 1 challenge results including each teams gossip and percentages are here: http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... a great second week!

Gad I actually skipped a bike workout today...so rare for me as I love to ride.

We have company and leave for a cruise Thursday am and I've got a gazillion things to do...skip what I'm good at and practice what I'm not so good at.

Tomorrow I have my brick..either 45 mile ride/3 mile run
or if inside 45' ride with intervals/run 1.5/45' ride with more intervals/run 1.5 miles/ride 60' with varying cadences..either one will get mileage in.

I won't be riding again until next Tuesday..I may go through serious withdrawl

Ride lots Angels...pick up the pace..being close to BOP isn't so fun 

Didn't you say you were going on a cruise?  I got addicted to spin class on a cruise -- check it out.  Have fun!
