Does any one ride here?

I mountain bike on occasion, but I picked up a nice road bike back in June and have really started getting serious about cycling.

I just got back from a 75 mile ride this morning, I've put 400 miles on my bike since Sept first. I was just wondering if there is anyone else here who rides.

you biked 75 miles this morning? hoe lee shit

I'd like to start being more physically active once I move to Colorado. I'd like to take up mountain climbing and mountain biking.

7.5* ?

Hopefully I'll be riding again tomorrow, trying to work out a route.

Colorado is a great place for riding. Depending on where you live there could be LOTS of climbing. I'd love to just go even drive some of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge routes in Colorado. They are absolutely insane.

how can you bike 75 miles in one day then do it again the next day?

Yeah man, road bike all day

I won't be doing 75 miles tomorrow, probably30-35.

So you ride? How long have you been riding?



I was going to ride to San Diego in November (400 miles over 4 days) with the group of guys I normally ride with, but we couldn't get a follow car together... We may ride to Tucson or something instead (200 miles in 2 days).

I totally applaud your stamina.

I used to race downhill mtb, I really want to get back into it, I'm either going to get a hardtail bike or a road bike to get back into shape, any suggestions? (I'm leaning towards mtb though)
