I am going to do my little course in the east end until I hit 30

How long do you think i twill take if I am out there almost daily? I want to get to God level aka Euphoric level so I don't feel as embarassed when he smokes me pedalling backwards on a CCM unicycle with a flat tire taken out of the trash.

There are other things to consider other than gunning for a specific pace.
As you ride more, you're going to pick up on which muscle groups you utilize more efficiently, nuances in riding position and preferred cadence (and you may realize you want to target a specific cadence rather than a speed instead).

Soooo it's hard to say. Lot of stuff going on. Even lame things like cleat position, saddle fore/aft and where you sit can make a substantial difference.

The easiest way to get faster (apart from riding often) is riding with someone who's slightly faster than you. It forces you to keep pace, and you just wheel suck... it's almost like motor pacing (drafting a motorized vehicle). Get's your lungs and legs used to firing at a specific rate @ an increased velocity. As you get more accustomed to that feeling and being able to dish out that kind of output, you will be able to get faster on your own.

So...that being said...weekly CSI rides, anyone?

what is the purpose of a single speed? aside from less parts breaking, i'm learning actually quiet a bit from the thread boys.

Going mountain biking tomorrow, the Trek Wednesday Night series at Hardwood Hills... so no road biking for me til Friday and then I'm back to work
Will be working totally different muscle groups, should be good. Going up in the early afternoon and will ride for a few hours until the race at 7pm.
I didn't plan on the heat so this could be a VERY retarded endeavour.

I think some ppl are from the north end, others from the east end....so meet at pacific mall (lol it's the only thing i can think of that's random) and head east? Start at say, 7:30?

You must have mental issues... you want to start a bike ride at PACIFIC MALL!??????
You know I make it my policy not to work on my days off right?

^^ Hahaha! I'm breaking the rules riding with with a MTB helmet (with visor).

LMAO!

Hardwood Hills has weekly races on Wednesdays sponsored by Trek between May 1 and the end of August.
It's pretty awesome and they have different classes which go off on corresponding trails ranging from easy for kids (2.5km) to hard Olympic-level (15km).
Prizes for the winners and fastest laps in each category. Points system since it's an 18 week series etc...

We're heading out tomorrow in the afternoon and staying at a KOA til Thursday.

p.s: I bought the 50mms

its like your third day relax. itll come ..with time.

and dont forget rest is just as important(if not more so important) than actually riding. dont blow your wad in the first week or two.

Let's ride hwy 7 east from Markham

Scenic route/nice roads/no fobs.

I'm good with that!
Load up on drugs and let's go!

Let's do it, pretty sure we can get SiRice/Hator/Canuck/355 si out here, it's pretty central for everyone no? Highway 7 east from ninth line and you can go all the way to Oshawa if you want to do a 100km round trip.

I am going to do my ride today again.
