lingphd - 2005-06-15 1:09 PM Butt Kicking Time! I have a 60 minute ride, followed by a 30 minute ride scheduled for today that I refused to get out of bed to do this morning. Now I have to somehow squeeze it between packing for a trip to Seattle, boy's baseball practice, boys soccer game, cleaning up the house, etc. I think I can do it at 8pm tonight, but I REALLY DON'T WANT TO. Someone please motivate me to get my butt on that bike seat!

No, really Melissa, you have way to much to do. Don't let cycling interfere with your priorities. There will be plenty of time for bike riding after, say, July 1.

Ride Lots just a little!

There, Melissa - doesn't this motivate you???  The boneheads are running scared because we are in the LEAD! GET OUT THERE AND RIDE, GODDESS, RIDE LIKE THE WIND !!!!  (But do be careful about the waning daylight if you ride on the roads)

Goddesses...I had an interval bike workout on my training calender for tonight...it is a brisk 50 degrees with nice spit of rain coming down...perfect bike weather!

Last time out I had a flat on my rear tire....pumped it up good and checked it out...but couldn't find my spare tube...hubby hides (puts) it away and he is out of town. Nervously I head out the door...1 mile out...my rear tire is low..head home...frustrated. Pump it up and go around the neighborhood....see if hold air..will check it again later tonight...got in just over 3 miles...whooo...oh crap... I wanted to ride tonight....grrr. I heard lots of little rides add up...but not this little.

Goddesses,
The boys think they can start posting some serious miles in the second half of this month to catch up with us.  I say ride, goddesses, ride.  Let's show the bones what it means to finish strong.

Ooh, after reading the testybones thread, they are skeered!  Goddesses, I thik the boys are feeling nervous about our posting some great numbers, quite consistently I might add. Keep up the good work!  I'm at 2/3 of my goal today with a 20-25 miler tomorrow...but then a relaxing weekend on the river. 

Keep pedaling Gear Goddessses (no matter what theme song you need in your head!)

quick question ladies--do race distances count towards the total distances for the month? I know when you put in a race it doesnt log it with your milages but I was hoping my race this Sunday would still count.

I'm already 75% to my goal!! Will any extra mileage help us too? (not like I'll stop biking when I hit 200 or anything, just curious)

You have to copy your race reports to your logs to get credit for your cycling miles. Instructions are here:

Awesome!  Yup- extra miles count, because it is all based on percentages. So, when you go over your 200 miles, you'll will have acheived 120% of your goal (for example).  So ride your heart out and good luck at your race!

Woo Hooo, Gear Goddesses, I am just over half-way to my goal! Since I'll be riding a fifty miler in the Tour of Italy on Saturday and an easy ride on Sunday, I should be over 200 miles by the end of the weekend. What does this mean? Barring a catastrophe, I'll make my goal.

As of this morning, I'm at 61% of my goal and I still have to ride home from work tonight.....after my 50 miler on Saturday I'll only have 47 more miles left!  So I guess that 100 miler I have planned for the 25th will just be gravy, since the 47 will have been knocked out LONG before that - Woopdee Hoo!  GO GODDESSES!

I was doing some math today too...I should be okay.  Still have the HIM and planning a 40miler tomorrow...between those two, I'm almost there!   Believe it or not...despite the fact that I rode like 120 the first week then slacked for an entire week...sheesh!  And I was worried about sandbagging...I may just barely make it!

I'm checking in. I haven't been around here for awhile. Always something with me, eh? Knee surgery, new job, kids....does my whining ever end? I'm going to try to get those miles in and meet my goal.

Great job Goddesses....

GO TEAM GODDESSES

I put in 14 miles this morning, am doing a long ride Sunday (35-40 miles). I did the math for the rest of the month and should exceed my goal.

Keep up the GREAT WORK, GODDESSES!

You boys are very cute too, y'know.  But how on earth do you plan to "rub in " a loss, Motivated?

Ladies, you are doing GREAT! The boys in their wonderful lycra and smooth shaved legs have taken the lead, but it's only snapshot of where we were as of last night. We are neck and neck, the race ain't over yet, the fat lady has not yet sung! We will win this Challenge the same way we won the Swim Challenge and the Run Challenge - steadily executing our training plans one day at a time.

If anyone needs an inspire or is running out of steam, drop me a PM.

Have a wonderful weekend and RIDE LOTS!

Okay I am at 144 miles of my 400 mile goal, and hope to do at least 100 miles this weekend!!! So that being said here's my plan for the rest of the month:

400 - 144 = 256 (Where I stand now)
256 - 100 = 156 (Where I plan to be by Sunday night)
Monday - rest day
Tuesday - Thursday 20 miles each day (156 - 60 = 96)
Saturday = 35 miles (61 miles to go - almost there!!!)
Sunday = 20 miles (41 miles to go - getting closer!!!!)
Monday - rest day (enjoy the evening!!)
Tuesday - Thursday (Big Push!!!) (20 miles each day )

FOR A GRAND TOTAL OF 419 OF MY 400 MILE GOAL!!!

Sorry - I just had to outline my plan otherwise I may push it to the back of my mind!!

Thank God for my husband!! He is really pushing me. Last night he practically shoved me out the garage door and told me not to come home until I had ridden at least 20 miles!!



GO TEAM GO!! The Hormones must defeat those "bones"!!!!

Cheers and Happy Friday!!
