i never did that even when i had a new gym membership. Ive only had my bike for a week but ive put about 100+ miles on. My friend and I both wanted to get into cycling. Were both fairly new to this so our stamina is still low. Yesterday, we did a 20 mile trail that was listed as EASY on the website we were looking at. Took us 3.5 hours to finish it. He walked up most hills, i would ride to the top then coem back down and meet up with im and ride up the hill at his walking pace, usually 3-5 mph. That time kept bugging me so much that I woke up at 6am, got my stuff ready and left to do the same trail. This time it took me 1 hr 45 mins. Felt better knowing my own time now i have a goal to try to beat next tiem i do that trail.

Someone of you guys are crazy fast, I was climbing a hill at a crazy pace of 8pmh when I heard wheels behind, i moved to the right thinking it was a car and as i turn around to look a human rocket just flew past me like it was nothing. He went around a corner and i never saw him again. WOW!

BTW, this forum is pretty cool. I kept going to cyclingforums.com but that place is dead. You get one reply every few hours. I dont even know how I landed here, but Its 100x more active than that other forum i started at.
