So I just finished packing for IMAZ and my inventory looks scary. I think the biggest thing is that I'm trying to over prepare for the bike and have to accept that it's a gamble.

The past two years of my life have been quite interesting with all the events life has given me.

Question: has there ever been a thread where people just post workouts they do for the benefit of other people looking for suggestions on a workout? I propose we use a thread to just write down suggestions or previous work outs with whatever information you want to provide!

Biking is by far my weakest area. While I am trying to get more time in the saddle to improve I am totally confused on the gears. "The pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret" - Sarah Bombell

Due to our family schedule (my husband works in the evenings and I have 2 kids) the only time I am able to train is in the morning. Early morning, before the sun comes up. Now that winter is leaving I can jump on the bike in the morning however, I am nervous. The drivers around here are horrible and I can't image they are any better at 5:00 AM.

I fear that this is the wrong forum for this question, but it is the only one I am an active member of so thought I would ask. Jeff

For the past few weeks my right hip flexor has been, well irritated. It's not always uncomfortable, or sore. It's not usually sore when I'm cycling or running. It's not always sore after running...... I don't get it. “Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill

Alright so I have biked for a long time, but never really trained to bike. What type of targets should I be setting for myself. Currently I am hitting the following on my training rides: Shorter than 10 miles: Average about 17.5 - 19.5 mph (Depends on if wifey is tagging along, 17.5 with and 19.5 without) Rides 10 - 20 miles: Average of around 17 - 18
