Winter mileage brag posts here...

Jj 7 April 2005 22:14:07
 OK, it's time for everyone to post their winter mileage and stats and
props...

From October first until today is approximately 190 days.

Post weekly, or total or monthly. If you did a cool ride or got over a
plateau or lost weight or put an inch on your quads, that's fine too.

Me, 1670 miles, lots of hills, lots of speed. Broke 30mph on the flats.

Only missed 8-9 days riding, or 180 of 190 days on the bike, though I'm
cheating because I'm including about 4-5 days forced to ride indoors on the
stationary bike.

Lost 10 more lbs, and am down to about 219lbs.

When the tights came off the wife and daughter were whistling at me(*).
Worth all the blood sweat and tears right there.

 Nothing to boast about mileage wise - I just get on the bike & ride it. I
have however, done well in another area. Mid-December I was verging on being
morbidly obese. As of today I am no longer thus. I am no longer even obese.
Now I am purely & simply merely overweight! Onwards & downwards!

Something like 600-650 miles from Jan. 1 to the present. I didn't keep
records but averaged more than that in the late fall, as I made more
time for biking preparing for a century in early December. In Jan. I
started swimming--I'm training for a triathlon in mid May by swimming
with a masters group twice a week (and often one more swim a week on my
own) and running 2 miles three times a week. I'm generally biking two
to three times a week--it is harder to make the time for it weekday
afternoons when I know I've already run or swum.

I've lost 60 lbs in a year and a half.

OK here are the winter highlights:
I bought a real road bike in January.
Sadly with a thing called winter by the end of Feb I had about 100 miles
in it.
Then in March I got some tights from cold lizard and the sun came up
before 6:30. As the french rode towards the sun my morning rides before
work where on. By the end of March my total was more than 400 miles.
With April brought the time change. Morning rides are out for a couple
of weeks. I have been trying to squeeze a ride in in the evening.
Yesterday I actually went on a group ride with 3 friends. Riding with
people is way different than solo. I will try to do it more often. As
of this evening over 500 miles on the bike.
Even with all the biking I have done in the past weeks my weight has
even gone up 2-3 pounds. It must be muscle :-)­
I am hoping this spring and summer will be even more productive!!!!

OK ... I'll play.

I had 5,600.6 miles from Oct. 1, 2004 through March 31, 2005. I was sick
and off the bike for 2 weeks around Thanksgiving and for several more days
in late Januray. Were it not for that, I'd be up around 6,500.

I did a club ride last night and rode with our local Cat. 2 racing legend
(current state champ in his age group). I have more training miles this
year than he does. But he's 17 and I'm 49. He can do a lot more on a lot
less training.

Great job. I knew we had some higher mileage posters. I'd normally have had
around 2500miles because my standard rides last year were mostly on the
flats and at an average speed of 15 mph. This winter I kicked up the speed
and reduced the miles and rode more hill repeats. It's been about 3x more
uh, strenuous than anything I could muster last year. Next week I start in
on two a days.

I wonder what a certain Mountain Goat is getting - haven't seen him around
here. I figure he's probably got about 50 vertical miles in already. Paging

 No huge amount of miles for me. Since getting my bikes the last weekend
in Oct. I am closing in on 600 miles since getting the bikes. Nice
byproduct has been losing 20 lbs. so far, and hopefully more as time
goes by.

I hear ya on that. Often the hardest part of my weekend centuries is what I

My stat sheet is at work, but I cycle commuted 16.5 total/day pretty
much every day, all weather, all temp since then, minus time off and an
extended interruption for a family emergency thing.

call it maybe 1200 miles, maybe 1500. subject to me looking it up later.

 I have only have a measly 600 miles during the winter that I can document
with the GPS logs. Been using Garmin's Forerunner 201. They have a log
that you can download and then track your progress. I have combination of
Mountain and road, but most of it was mountain miles.

Now that the rains are starting to let up, I hope to log more miles, and I
need them, cause the first 3 weekends in May I have centuries each weekend.

Why not just fast after the Centuries and let your body metabolize fat
and lose any hint of a spare tire (if you even have one). I always come
in hungry and drink a lot of water then relax until bedtime with no
actual calorie intake and I lose weight fastest that way when I am
trying to. I seem to sleep better too. Food at bedtime seems to go into
fat unless you know you are going to be doing something like the TdF the
next day.
My totally unscientific take on it.

 By the grace of God, another Milwaukee winter handled, or at least hopefully
handled, as April snowstorms in these parts are not unknown.

In any event, I did 7389 miles from Oct 1 - March 31, and another 527 so far
in April. At least some mileage every day; my last
"zero" day was Sept. 13, due to travel. My best day in this peiod was 102
miles on New Years' day. The coldest riding was -3 F on Jan 14.

Most of my mileage was on my commute to work, which is typically a 40 some
mile round trip in the winter, depending on route.

Yep,
I got on the scale one day and it hit 205 and I said "no way".
That started me riding more seriously and I got down to about 160 and
people said that looked good. Last summer I got down to 143 and everyone
said I looked too skinny, like a WWII Nazi POW, but I felt good. Now my
wife and friends all think they have to fatten me up and I don't want to
insult their cooking. Winter equals less serious riding and I am back up
to about 163-165 where THEY want me. Summer means more riding and down
to 140-145 which is MY goal.
I won't avoid my friends just to keep a few pounds off so there will be
a bit of an up/down effect with the seasons. If nothing else I have done
has killed me I am not going to worry about it.
Mostly I pissed off my wife because I could wear her skinny medium jeans.

Don't worry too much there dude, I don't try the bras.
Her jeans looked so much like mine I put them on by total mistake and
they fit, which totally pissed her off. Herbert Hoover was the cross

Look up "starvation mode". It's the wrongest way to lose weight.

Get this e-book:

http://www.burnthef­at.com

Ignore the hype and get the book; it's not nearly as silly
as the website, and it's way better than any diet book, because
it discusses all the diets and how to build your own from basic
nutritional and metabolic facts.
I always come >in hungry and drink a lot of water then relax until bedtime with no >actual calorie intake and I lose weight fastest that way when I am >trying to.

Lots of it muscle, including leg muscle.

HOWEVER, if your goal is to get one of those pro-racer
bodies with the big thighs and pipe-cleaner arms, this is
the way to go. Strip off *all* your muscle in starvation
mode, then build it back up doing only leg training.
I seem to sleep better too. Food at bedtime seems to go into >fat unless you know you are going to be doing something like the TdF the >next day.

Avoid lots of saturated fats, and all starchy or sugary
carbs, within several hours of bedtime. Fibrous carbs
(most veggies) and protein (lean meat) are good.
My totally unscientific take on it.

Get the BFFM e-book and get scientific about it.

Myth.

Constant weight fluctuation without exercise involved in both
directions is bad, even if the weight is mostly or all fat.

Any suggestions on the ulimate in rugged 'puters?

The Cateye Enduro series isn't too bad. It's surving lots of Seattle rain
and general (mild) abuse. It's not all that tough, but I doubt anything
else exists that's more hardy.

mentioned possibly leaving, a couple weeks ago).

Yah. I've tried them. Nothing really seems to be able to stand up
to -30C -40C winter days hereabouts

Ah, I think that's a material limit of the LCD display. I live in a
much more temperate climate obviously. My only real suggestion is to
go ask on the Icebike list: <http://icebike.org­/icebikelist.htm>
