just reach the 2000 miles mark... and riding motivation.

[vermilionx]

nice, i hit 2000mi for 2012 last week as well. i'm also 5'9" but around 140lbs = a fatty. I wear sizes 30-32 waist.

i was going to ride a metric this morning but ended up stopping once the temp felt around 90. I did about 44 miles in the end.

Hurray for us!

Kewl man

kewl,ill check it out.

have you ever tried riding any of the midnight ridazz rides?

Nah - doesn't seem like my cup of tea, and I tend to get up early in the morning anyway

I don't mind using the balboa path for a couple loops to get in miles. A lot of my rides start in the east valley and include Sepulveda and/or Valley Vista, dropping down on Hayvenhurst to the park, getting in some miles and cruising home on the orange line path.

I'm also 32. And a solo cyclist. And i've done almost 2k miles as well. I need to find a local group, because my friends don't seem interested in cycling, other than taking a beach cruiser for a stroll.

Congratulations!

What a coincidence, crossed 2000 miles (since December) today . I actually took a longer ride home so I could get over the threshold (I'm now at 2018 miles + 55,822 feet climbed)

Im jealous. Living in Ohio makes it near impossible to ride in the winter months. I did 446 miles this month ( May 2012) but between kids, work and weather I cannot get out for longer rides.

Congrats on the 2k ! I wont hit that until September at the rate im going.

Joining/riding with a club was one of the best things I did to raise the enjoyment of my cycling. I put in 700 miles this past month with the club alone. I was very unmotivated before that.

I can't wait for the heat to get that high!!! I was freezing my raisins in 14deg celcius(57f) this morning. Way too cold! I'm a 22+ kind of guy. I love sweating in the 30+ weather!

Im 50 and hit my first 2000 miles today. Rode my first 50 miles in 3 hours last week end. i started riding in August 2011 after under going a significant lower back surgery the end of March last year. Put 1200 miles on my old MTB and the next 800 on my CAAD 8. I love it and Im completely motivated as Ive lost 75 lbs (used to be 297) and went from a size 44 waist to a 34-36. I actually cant wait for my MD to see me in July for my annual physical. I have 0 bp issues now also.


Im kind of a riding mercenary as I prefer to ride solo. It really clears my mind and gets my head screwed on right.

I feel like riding has saved my life in a way...

Good to hear from fellow cyclist that reached this landmark.

Awesome! ^_^

[Seattle Forrest]

riding solo is killing it too.

Why?

I enjoy/prefer riding solo. I'm surprised everyone doesn't.

Congratulations on your 2,000 miles! That would get you from LA to New Orleans, on your own power. It's a hell of an accomplishment.

Now it's time to take your bike to Yosemite and King's Canyon.

Thanks.

And yeah... i just get lazy and call it quits earlier when im solo. I need to feed off others' energy. Whether im faster or slower than the other person, it doesn't matter.
