Cycling: keeping track
 
Hi everyone :wave:

I need somewhere to keep track of the distances I've cycled, so I figured I'd start up a thread here to keep me accountable. I'd like to go cycling at least twice a week, preferably three times. I don't really have a specific goal in mind - although once the Summer's over it might be necessary ;)

Feel free to join in if you like.

19/7/13: 50km
21/7/13: 50km

Total: 100km

Tomorrow I plan on going for another ride - hopefully I'll be able to keep going and not give up and take the train instead! :s:

Hi Ninae,

At this moment, I am cycling on a stationary bike and a youtube video of a spinning class which is very intense. I have done 55 km since July 18. In one or two weeks, I will probably go on a bike trip with my dad and I'll log on the distances. We used to go on these 400 km bike trips when I was in much better shape than I am at the moment. I want to have a little taste of this again. My father will be 72 years old in two weeks and he still serirously kicks my butt. It's not even close.

Hi...I am might join a local fitness center this weekend, depending on a price and if all goes well, will ride the exercise bike and join ya on the riding efforts here...

Great job of your efforts so far!! Keep it going!! :)

No sooner does she start a thread about cycling and she goes awol!

The heat's kept me inside this week - but we've had lots of rain and it's cooled off somewhat, so I hope to go for another 50km later today. I'll keep you all posted :D

Hi everyone, my update:

My left knee started hurting so I stopped off early (on the advice of a friend who's had knee problems for years) :( I think tomorrow I'll rest up to give whatever it is a chance to go away.

Today a friend and I went for a mega cycle-ride. Muscles in my body now ache, which is one way of making their acquaintance, I suppose....

It was also really :sunny:, though not :hot:, and I was lulled into a false sense of security. Now parts of my skin are heat generators! Oh dear.

So both today and yesterday I've been so tired I've barely had energy to move :( My skin is sore, as are my legs, and the scale's gone back up too. Is this simply water being held on to?

Matisse 08-13-2013 11:17 PM

I did a lot of rides, Ninae, but I did not log them in.

45 km, 40 km, 25 km, 2*20 km.

When your muscles are sore from cycling, you have to keep moving (the same muscles at low-intensity) to help relieve the soreness. Walking for thirty minutes would help you.

I have learned that after a big mountain hike. And yes, you will retain water after a big, unusual workout.
