Resident Curmudgeon  25290    The Road Back Gold member |  Subject: 500 Club for MarchOK, I usually kick off the outdoor cycling season with April's 700 Club Challenge, but this year Daylight Savings time comes early (March 11). So who's up for a 500-mile cycling month in March? |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March I am in  I did 562 miles on my bike in Feb but I will be tapering for a race the last 2 weeks of the month. I will only make 500 if I hit all of my workouts. Have 10 miles down and a trainer ride tonight. Great Idea Bear. Thanks for organizing |

Expert 897 Seattle WA | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March I'm in - trainer time counts though, right? I can only get outside about 1x per week right now. |

Not a Coach 11473 Media, PA | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March As long as trainer "miles" count, I'm in. And my trainer miles are actually discounted since I average @15-20% fewer miles than outdoors for the same effort level. But I'll count them 1 for 1. That will encourage me to get outside for "full credit" more often. |

Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March Yeah, given the weather you Yankees have to suffer through, we'll allow trainer miles to count for March. But come April, only road miles are worth anything.

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March you'd better count trainer miles! it took bill and i 15 minutes to go 2 miles in all this white stuff!  50+ down...450 to go. i figure if i do all my trainer workouts @ a 16 mph average (which is reasonable, given that the workouts i use have a 15 min warm up and 5 minute cool down), that's 384 miles. working at the bike shop 6+ times this month, that's another 72 miles. back and forth to the Y 3x a week is another 39 miles. total = 495. throw in a couple extra 30 minute sessions on the trainer, or an extra shift or trip to the Y, i should be good. |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: How did Everuone Do Week #1 So how is everyone doing with the challenge after week 1. (I know the week was a bit short) For the good of the group, please share with us how it went and maybe a bit about how your overall training is going. Train Well Tri Peeps |

Champion 5345 Carlsbad, California | Subject: RE: How did Everuone Do Week #1 Training is going fine. This week and the next are going to be steadily increasing volume as I get ready to start tapering for my race at the end of the month. Am at 131.3 and have a 18-20 mile ride on the sked for tonight after dinner. (Need to get a movie) Oh, and it looks like I will be commuting on my bike for the next few days (Car is going in the shop) and so will have a built in 10 miles a day. (Round trip to work and the gym at lunch) Ride Happy Everyone |

Not a Coach 11473 Media, PA | Subject: RE: How did Everuone Do Week #1 Just shy of 80 miles done, the bulk of which came in my first outdoor ride in about 6 weeks. Still had to navigate a bit of ice which was unexpected (and unpleasant), but otherwise great to be back outdoors. Hoping to ride outside 2x each weekend in March plus 1 trainer ride each week--total of about 6 hours ride time per week. 500 would actually be the most miles I've ever done in any calander month so far. |

Elite 2844 Reston VA | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March Late starter to the challenge here. I only have 43.5 miles so far - but I just started my 20 week plan for IM. If I complete all of my workouts I should be able to get to 500.... That would be my monthly best as well |

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March 148.39 mile so far for me. if i get in 30 miles tomorrow i will have riden as much in the last week as i did in all of february! hee hee. sprained my foot last night while i was riding home from work (slipped on some ice and my foot went under the bike frame and got crunched), but luckily it doesn't hurt while biking. running may be painful for a while, so it will be riding and swimming (and some strength) for the next few days. |

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March nice. i will try and get in 30+ tomorrow as well. NOT outside though. my outside riding days are numbered until some of this ice melts. the roads and sidewalks are all really bad right now. snow i can handle, and packed snow is great to ride on...but i HATE ice.

Resident Curmudgeon 25290 The Road Back Gold member | Subject: RE: 500 Club for March I'll be over 200 tomorrow, more than I rode in all of February. Probably another 70 or so over the weekend, too. |
