oddly enough we had to deal with a week or two of snow - then the few days afterwards where the roads are so sandy/salty that you may as well be on ice.
times like those really make me hate the trainer - really really hate

Seriously--I barely belong here, as I only race a little LBS time trial. Everything else is miles for the sake of miles.

nato and shamrok are on another (near-pro) level. They're great resources and have cool exploits tho. \:\)

that makes my tailbone just kind of hurt. I think I'm usually about to the point of murder when I hit the 70mi area on a trainer.

miles will start dropping soon though. March is a very busy month

2nd is a 6hr, 9th is first XC race of season, 15th is a 6hr, 30th another xc

whoa there sir - no pro here, I have just become horribly addicted to riding the last two years. I think Sept 2012 was my first excursion onto a mountain bike. Er take that back - July when I bruised my ribs and took some skin off on some easy ass trail - that kept me away for a while

Well, you've certainly become a badass doe. ;\)

I'm pretty pleased that I can now put in an hour and 1/2 of hard intervals without wanting to die. I'm really curious to see how this will translate in the warmer months.

Add to the conditioning the new 50mm wheels and I'm gonna tape my helmet vents and I'm hoping to bust through the 45 minute barrier of my TT this summer. If I get down to 42 minutes, then I'll finally be nearing the faster riders.

So glad I stepped it up on the trainer this winter!

Oh yeah--in addition, I'm already at my near summer weight (186). If I could shimmy down to 180, that would help me a ton in the climbs. That's a war tho...

I got out for as measly 21 miles yesterday. Windy, hilly, puddle-drenched, sand/salt-covered and wrecked roads. Dogshit slow, but I guess it was better than the trainer.

My bike sounded like a pepper mill by the time I got home. It was coated in crud.

Ready for spring...

hey, 21 miles is better than sitting on the couch and no miles! it was windy here too. i planned my route to ride into the wind so i had a tailwind home. 64 miles of head wind till i got to Gettysburg, then it was a tailwind the rest of the way home. ready for spring too. im headed to mardi gras next week so at least itll be warmer there

false! sitting on the couch is 100x better than riding in below freezing weather.

I got a solid 4.5 hours on the trainer this week. After reading about you guys going and doing more than 4.5 hours in one day in this kind of weather I feel like I shouldn't even bother

17.3 mph avg over 114 miles on a cross bike on knobbies is fucking monstrous tho. I couldn't do that on a Venge on perfect, flat tarmac on a windless day. That's next-level shit right there.

That said, a friend of mine (with whom I TT) has been doing some big rides lately, so once things warm up, I'll be doing some 80-100 mile rides with him, hopefully. He just bought a new Ridley and double-flatted on a pothole yesterday.

oh don't worry about that - I was just trying to improve my fitness over the winter instead of just let it stagnate - my hours will probably get a little lower for the next month or two

97 minutes on the trainer today. Spun through 2 /DRIVE "my life as a rallyist" vids (:29 and :23) and then did a 45 min intervals vid. Took a couple of quick pee breaks after each vid ended, but felt great overall and finished very hard on the intervals. Crushed the final sprint.

Saturday brought me my first 2-hour trainer session. 30 minutes spin and then 1:30 of intervals "hills". I actually felt good during the whole workout. So much more stamina than last year.

I have around 120 road miles in for the year (lol) and around 17 hours in on the trainer. Road mileage will ramp up once the weather warms and my "regular" bike path thaws.

Ran 3.5 miles yesterday and my Achilles didn't bug me for the first time in awhile, so that's nice.

Main bike needs new cables and I ordered some 700x25 Conti Supersports for my beater wheels in preparation for some nasty roads.

Just wondering... weird thought. What is the difference or equivalent to running miles and biking miles?

probably something like 3:1, just guessing. I'm sure there's better estimates out there

I just try to estimate based on rough total time it takes. Eg I'm both a slow jogger and a slow biker so I think it works \:\)

so say a 5k jog [3.1m] is equivalent to 9 miles biked or so

Tough to say. Plus--an hour of running will really beat me up. An hour on the bike: routine and easy. For me, 17-18mph average on flat ground on the bike, 6mph average running (but I'm a slow-ass runner).

I love how the commute is now a TT for you! Nice work.

Fighting a cold, so I was weak on the trainer yesterday. Tomorrow is supposed to be a balmy 46 so I'll get out for 20 or so. Roads are shit and the paths are still under a few inches of snow (paths don't get plowed).

Just got some 700x25 Conti Supersports for the beater wheels. They're stout--~390g each--with a folding bead. I just want fewer puncture headaches.

Went to bike shop this week and now need to talk myself out of buying a specialized tarmac. I want it so badly but I know I will hardly ever ride a road bike.
