Show us your.......newbie progress!

I have done 220 miles this year so pretty happy with that for a January

That's excellent.
Just checked last year I did over 400 miles in January. This year only 75 so far Mostly weather related as I'm not prepared to chance the ice at all. Not too bothered though. I have enjoyed the four rides I have managed and the brisk walking and jogging in between seems to maintain some fitness. It's only for fun on my part anyway.

I've doubled last Januarys mileage if you count the turbo mileage.





You'll notice I didn't mention actual mileage!

lol @BrianEvesham , (Edit, just checked your strava it's not that bad). our last ride out was in 3" of snow we averaged a whopping 5.6mph if that makes you feel any better

@Mo1959 At least you've managed something, I only ride for fun really and at times it's pain for pleasure lol

Turbo mileage doesn't count

I think I agree, nothing compares to a real ride.

First ride today for over a month, what with bad weather, busy-ness and bad knees. I have missed it a lot, and did enjoy getting out today, but I'm paying for it a bit now, and am hobbling around. My bike fitness will have taken quite a hit when I eventually get back to it properly. Even my Garmin was complaining this morning and spent more time auto-paused than recording my data. Hopefully a change of battery in the sensor will put that right; fitness won't be fixed quite so easily I'm afraid. Nice morning for a ride though, and a lovely day for the spicy parsnip soup that followed

Well done everybody who has been out and about recently. Lots of progress by lots of CCers

40 miles @ 15.6 mph - second half back into a stiffish breeze. Had to ease off the gas a couple of times as chap I was tootling around with was struggling so I took the brunt of the wind to help him a bit and had to ease off as he was struggling to keep on the wheel. Lovely weather - almost 5 degrees at one point!! Best ride of the year - no snow or ice to worry about.

 

[Berk on a Bike]

After a start to the year which can be best described as sporadic ride-wise, I did a chunk of mileage today. Second half of the trip I was plagued by cramping quads, so it wasn't the pleasurable experience I was after! Hopefully more regular rides will get me match fit.

I've not been getting out much due to time and being a weather chicken. I know this isn't a cycling progress, but it has a knock on effect.

I've just walked 32.34 miles http://app.strava.com/activities/246314229 but the furthest I've ever cycled is 32 miles.

That is something that needs to change soon!

Well Done, you must be really proud of yourself walking that kind of mileageit's not something I could do, hence my dog runs along side me on the bike

Thanks!

Knew a lot of the lanes I had to cross between off road bits from cycling, thought about chasing down a few cyclists and begging for a bike but it was nice to think I knew areas purely because of cycling.

Crossing the A38 felt a bit like a game of Frogger which was stressful though. Definitely feel good, and sore! Eventually with walking I think there comes a point where the more you want to slow down the more it hurts to go slow so it's best to keep going because stopping will hurt.

Now I just need to get out and cycle further because it just feels wrong I've walked further then I've took a bike.

Another loop this morning.

I hope this weather spell holds.

you're more than welcome to join us on a ride to Matlock sometime, we (aka The 2 Dave's!) can ride down to Little Eaton and you can join us from there, we ride at the slowest riders pace (99.9% is me being the slowest)

Well Done to all the other guys (& gals) for getting out
