haha yea I'm aware of that. it looks a lot worse than it really is. besides, I'm not going to be sitting on the seat before I get my chain tensioner and brake on.

I just traded an old GoPed of mine for a MTB. I went biking in moab a couple weeks ago with some friends while camping and it made me want a mountain bike again. It's a Jeep made bicycle.

We'll see how much it can take.

Best of all, I'm going to try to get up early everyday for a bike ride this summer. I mean going on a bike ride everyday isn't anything new, but getting up early sure as fuck is. The earliest I wake up is one day a week at 10am and all other days are like 11. So it's going to be fun, but I love colorado in the morning, specially in the mountains so at least I have some good motivation.

Mango · 05-19-2009, 01:32 AM

this is my summer training plan

Sunday - Rest
Monday - 1-2 hour easy ride
Tuesday - Intervals
Wednesday - 2-3 hour ride
Thursday - 3-4 hard ride
Friday - 1-2 easy ride
Saturday - Rest

I'll do this for 2 or 3 weeks then have a light week with 3 or 4 days of rest and the rest of the days be easy rides.

Since collegiate road season ended I haven't really touched my bike much so hopefully with a month or so with this training plan I'll get out to some public races in the area. Though this training is really to keep me in shape/increase my performance for cyclocross season. mmmm... I can't wait.

I need to set up a training regimen. I just ride when I feel like it, which recently hasn't been to often.

When you tell yourself that you are going to ride a few times during the week with out scheduling, more then likely you'll ride half the amount of time you plan on doing. Same goes for the time you spend out or distance you are riding. You can't go into biking saying, 'oh well, I'll just go till I get tired.' You'll end up turning around and start heading home before you really get going on the bike.

Set up some goals for yourself. Based on those goals write out a little training plan that works with your schedule and put it on your calender. I personal like to put my training into a spreadsheet to keep track of when, where, and how long I went for. This helps keeps me motivated to stay on track

**~~SpankyMcLankey~~** · 05-19-2009, 10:10 PM

I don't know about all of that you said being true Mango. If you don't want to ride one day, don't make yourself do it. It's not something you should do if you don't want to.

Your body has to be ready for being on a bike everyday too, that's the hardest part for some people. I ride on average 15-20 miles a day every week, or else a short hard climb, it just totally depends on what I'm feeling like that day as to which way I go.

It depends on the circumstances. He said he is having trouble getting on the bike (inferred), and so for someone who is having trouble getting on the bike it might be a good idea to set up a schedule. This may not hold true to everyone, but in his case I believe he'd like to have something down so he make himself get on the bike.

Psilocychosis · 05-19-2009, 10:55 PM

Nice, man happy riding!

well have you ever thought maybe he's overriding? you should only ride 2-3 days a week until you think your ass stops permanently hurting. then you can take as much as you can handle.

**Bearsy** · 05-20-2009, 01:33 AM

Physically I have no problems getting on the bike. I just don't care to very much. There's no pain or anything. I'm just reverting to my old, lazy ways.

SmokeSomeDoja · 05-20-2009, 07:34 AM

the best is if you bike functionally. i get everywhere within ~50 square miles on a bike, and i do it everyday, for everything.

This is what I've been doing too, so I have to go even further to motivate myself for exercise. Like mountain biking or something or something of that sort.
