It's always this time of year, just going into March that I get right fed up with the 'winter'.Please 'like' our facebook page http://www.facebook.com/motorsportforums

Re: The Get fit club!
Did the first training ride today, 37km's and two hours. Not very good start, despite strong headwinds and a hilly route, I'm not in a good shape, unless one thinks round is a good shape.
Weather is really strange this time of the year, I don't think I have ever ridden a 100% tarmac ride in March.C'est la vie ja taksi tuo.

Re: The Get fit club!
After spending most of the winter trying to go on club rides and then getting dropped pretty quickly, it was nice going on my first sportive of the year yesterday where I actually was able to keep up with people, and overtake quite a few too! The first ride out with short sleeves too . Did 77 miles although I was feeling super weak towards the end as it was quite a hilly course.

Re: The Get fit club!
Yesterday was probably the last day I could go skiing for the season, about five and a half miles on some very crusty snow an hour north in Wisconsin. Today the piles of snow on either side of the trail meant there were plenty of mini lakes that slowed me down. But still it's nice to ride without lots of layers. The brakes are totally shot, though and I have to put on some new pads soon. I only wish my car's brakes were as inexpensive since those need replacing, too.

Plus I didn't need to accompany anyone in an ambulance so an improvement on my last ride regardless.My phone has an alarm clock! Ner Ner! :p

Re: The Get fit club!
so what's up guys?
any runner out there?
I've started running more seriously lately (did a 24k run on Saturday). The winter was pretty mild here but I did slow down nonetheless. Now it's time to go for that marathon.

Re: The Get fit club!
After looking at the forecast, I've entered my first mountain bike orienteering event of the year on Saturday, starting at the top of Sutton Bank :\ I can foresee it being a bit of a struggle as I'm really out of shape, but will be good to get a few miles under my belt and get back into the swing of things.

Awesome! Sutton Bank isn't so bad if you're just going down? If up too then ouch!

Re: The Get fit club!
Start and finish is at the car park at the top - no doubt there will be checkpoints on the lower side, I can see myself quite happily losing out on those points, we'll see how it goes. Looking breezy
