It was better than expected, from accommodations, to food, to company, to the riding... all of it. One of our guides was a genuine pro Italian racer. At all of 17 years of age, he crushed us all day, everyday. haha

Sounds like it was a great trip. The Strava pics were cool. I was looking at a river cruise where they do a daily ride from each port. Doesn't work so well for us, though, because Wifey doesn't ride.

Hit 4K miles for the year today. My goal is 5K. I should make that easily. Down 85lbs since I started riding. I'd like to drop another 15 or so.

Just walking. Although I'm going to join the adult fitness program at the university this winter and start doing some core and upper body work. I need to build back some muscle mass that I've lost since I became a desk jockey.

That's awesome Mark! Good idea about getting some core and upper body work added to the routine. Stoked you've stuck with it!

Did my first 50 mile ride today. I don't know how folks do century rides. My legs are trashed.

This will sound unbelievable. But. If you can do 50 you can do 100.
Oh and congratulations! That’s a real milestone. |

Great job! Keep it up and you will go further than you ever imagined. I too once thought a century was just crazy. Last year some friends and I did a double century in a day (STP). |

Today's ride (on Zwift) put me at 5303 miles for the year. 303 miles over my goal. Down 82lbs since I started riding. About 30lbs of that weight loss was in 2018. This year I plan on incorporating a rowing regimen into my schedule, so I may not get as much time on the bike. We'll see.

Avid cyclist in the DC metro area here. I raced in my younger years, but I just ride for fun now. I'm just getting back on after a 3 year hiatus due to injury. Prior to that I was logging 5-6K miles a year. I have a long way to go to regain fitness... Just two road bikes to my name now: a Dave Kirk tourer and a Gualzetti long/low torture machine that's out for a repaint now.
