A pity me post but I haven't been able to ride much at all lately. Suffered a quad strain while running last month. Took two weeks off on foot with some light cycling and thought I was fine to get back to work only to reaggravate it. 
This time I'm on a 4 week PT block with no running or cycling whatsoever. I usually slow down anyway at this time of year but to come to a screeching halt has not been good for my mental health to say the least.

Yep, then I’ll be joining you on the trainer!
What were you running from? A bear or something?A pity me post but I haven't been able to ride much at all lately. Suffered a quad strain while running last month. Took two weeks off on foot with some light cycling and thought I was fine to get back to work only to reaggravate it.

No sir, no bears in Texas that I’m aware of. I got this bright idea to train for the annual Dallas Marathon being held next month. I was going to run the half and just ramped up too much, too soon.

Oh also, if anyone finds themselves in Phoenix on Dec 7th, we are having our annual party mtb ride at south mountain. Should be a fun crew, some fun easy miles, and pizza after.
Same here. With the weather changing, my riding goes indoors to the basement. Try to do 3x weekly through March, 30 mins HIIT @ 20+ mph. Keeps the weight off and me, fit.My riding these days during the week….

Wow, more power to you guys that ride trainers inside.
I finally sold mine last year. I just never used it.
Nothing beats riding outside. This time of year I usually head to a spin class or do a lunch ride depending on weather.
Unfortunately, my local gym removed all the spin equipment and our spin instructor had to move to another gym across the valley.

Boo.
I’m obligated to spin. It’s almost mandatory for me to pedal daily. If I don’t, my fūcking brain blows up.
I’ve been spinning for 17 years. I did it to stay in shape off season as I fell off the fitness level really quickly once the mountain biking ended when I turned 45. Now, it’s just part of staying in shape year round.Boo.

Irony check; I always avoided spinning prior as I thought it was just a fey gym sport for suburban moms. Wrong…
And, boy oh boy, I am about the best shape of my life now.
Peloton in the basement 3x weekly.
These are bogo for the next day or so, i’ve really liked mine:
I did my first recon of a new road recently built by the Forest Service …. It’s a super awesome new detour that takes you to the Arizona Trail….
But …. I didn’t know that…. Ergo, I was on the wrong bike…. Super no bueno. I really needed a suspension bike. It was a long slog.
It was also my first ride over 7 miles utilizing my new clipped-in situation.., let’s just say that I have very bloody knees and elbows.

Might want to try out some knee pads as well?It was also my first ride over 7 miles utilizing my new clipped-in situation.., let’s just say that I have very bloody knees and elbows.
I won’t ride trails without them anymore.
Looks purdy! Squishy bikes are good now
I did my longest on strava today and PR’d a bunch of sections
