I ride mine for fitness, and like to get my stats. I also like being able to compare my times on certain frequent ride segments via Strava.

Let's be Strava friends!

One other thing that hasn't been mentioned...get a bike computer. Yes, you can track your rides on your phone, but I like having the bike computer mounted on my bike, and my phone in one of my jersey pockets. I have a Garmin that has a heart rate monitor sensor, cadence sensor (how fast you are pedaling) and a speed sensor (mounts to the rear wheel hub, is way more accurate than GPS). My three sensors are ANT+ connected to the bike computer. However, just starting out, you can get a cheap (~$20) wireless bike computer that just tracks mileage and time ridden, time of day, etc. There is a magnet that you mount on your front wheel, that hooks up with the computer t track your speed.

Thanks. But no need with my Samsung Gear Fit 2 fitness band. It tracks just about everything I would want to know, including my heart rate, all without the need for having my phone nearby. :thumbs:

I'd like to see FLBuffs - probably 12,500' or more? Can't recall what independence pass is...

My highest elevation is corona pass (11,500')

That's more of a mountain bike trail but it would make for a great EB.com ride one day- just need someone to pick us up from winter park.....

Can't find my pic of me at the top of Independence, but here's a pic of my bike at the top of McClure Pass, just outside of Carbondale.

 

[FLBuff PE]

Found it.

Had a brief moment where I thought, "Sure, I should sign up for Ride the Rockies."

My goal is to ride to the summit of Mt. Evans this year (14,265'). It will be my first 14er!

^ That is a HUGE ride. http://www.summitbiking.org/area_rides/mt_evans.html although I thought the grades were steeper.

My wife wants to do the Copper Triangle ride, un-escorted, counterclockwise.  SH 24 is a pretty rough road, no shoulders or cell coverage. She crazy.

^That is also on my list. I want to do the supported ride, but it usually on my wife's birthday, and I don't want to do that.

If you cant talk @cement into the Mt Evans one I will give it a try - I will just probably lag behind an hour or so... & I need to find a road bike

 

[cement]

oh crap, I gotta wash my hair that day

 

[cement]

well maybe...

The weather is getting warm enough to warrant cycling outside at lunch. Today, I decided to do some climbing. Almost 1,300 vertical feet in a total distance ridden of < 10 miles. WTH is wrong with me?

You live near mountains? You have no regard for BO and proximity to coworkers? You rode up stairs?  :dunno:

Any Surly riders on the board? I'm needing to replace a bike and I'm thinking I might go with a Surly Troll.

What's a Moloko Bar?

 

[Road Guy]

Im ready to get back into some mountain biking this year. didn't do much at all last year. found a map of all the bike trails in and around Winter Park, looks like there is definitely a summers worth of activity just there...

It's a touring bar that let's you put your hands in a number of positions (heh).
