I'm with M/P on this one--I'd rather take a beating than ride a trainer. Haven't ridden one in thirty years or so, and didn't enjoy it then. But I've heard folks say similar things about Zwift (whatever that is).
I almost never ride on Mondays, but since it was Memorial Day, I did. Fifty miles on Sunday, followed by 56 on Monday, then I added 44 miles more (in three rides) to end the week at 150 miles. That is my best week, mileage-wise, of the year.
That's some good mileage!
I got in 200 last week. Rode 4 days/5 rides solo and 1 ride of 8 miles tandem with the wife!
On a tandem with the wife? Or just riding with her? And if you've never ridden one, a good tandem is about the most fun you can have on two wheels. I have been both captain and stoker on a pair of (borrowed) Cannondale tandems and they are a blast.
Tandem. She hates it.
I offered to let her steer but I'm pretty sure we'd die real quick.

I'm anxious to get back on my bike, hip and back issues have had me sidelined for a year. Just got the hip replaced 6 weeks ago, back is getting better. Knocked out a 2.6 mile walk yesterday which I haven't been able to do for 2 years, feels good to be back at it.
Thirty-six miles Sunday, 11 on Tues., and 10 more miles this morning. Taking it easy this week, with a 100k ride scheduled for Saturday.
Mighty Mouse indeed!! I will be thinking about you Saturday while swilling booze and grilling meats by the pool .... Cheers !!
Since last week did a gravel for 17.5 miles and about 58 on the trainer. The roads are a bit too narrow out here and as many people I see with their noses in the cell instead of where their going it's tough to get many miles in that way so I'll grit it out on the trainer and the weekly group gravel ride. Occasional ride on the limited gravel around here but the same course gets old after awhile.
