Some winter motivation

I am having a hard time getting motivated at night, by the time I get home, play with the kid, eat, it's time for bed.

Can you ride before work or at lunch?
My lbs owner once told me when i dont want to ride..MancilG said:
just get on the bike and ride for 10 minutes.. if you dont want to ride after that point just head back, all you lose is 20 minutes... I have yet to turn back yet..
when i worked nights.. i would be riding home for work at 5am after 10 hrs of work and it felt so good i would wind up riding for 1 1/2 hrs!!!1
Yeah I can get some morning rides in. Once it warms up I will be doing lunch rides almost every day.Heidi said:
Soon it will be run in the morning, lunch ride 25miles, after work ride 30mile (or mtb ride 8 to 16 miles)
I find that I just have to make it part of my schedule. Aside from really craving exercise because of my desk job, my trainer is in my living room with my tv. I've been getting into watching That 70s Show reruns which are on every night from 7-8. That's just enough motivation to be on the trainer at 7 on the dot.MancilG said:
Uh-oh guys, the CP SLO Wheelmen just got 5 new members. We're slacking at 19. Let's get 'em!
But with the snow being ABSOLUTELY MAD lately, it has been hard to motivate. Yesterday at Grand Targhee, they reported 4", but in reality we got between 15" and 24", with it puking all day. I got in 40,000 ft. of vert, and am knackered. I will get on with the join when the snow faucet shuts off!
Too bad we can't include skate skiing miles into the equation...one skate mile is probably like 5 road miles, but I am just guessing.

Well now that I have a wireless xbox controller you guys might start seeing some crazy numbers. I was playing xbox while riding last night. If I didn't need to stop for dinner I might have been able to play for another hour or so
Yah, it's silly that doesn't roll up. I have a lot of skate ski miles but they don't go into the total. Skate skiing is MAD exercise.rideit said:
What is that???Heidi said:
Is generally considered to be the hardest aerobic sport in the world.
It's a rhythmic skiing technique that uses diagonal skating strides kind of like rollerskating, and very specific pole techniques. It is the fastest way to cover varied terrain on skis. It's also an exceedingly healthy activity and appeals primarily to the aerobically inclined. A LOT of top cross country mtb racers use this to keep in shape during the winter months.bluebug32 said:

I don't want to give away all my training secrets.
Damn Heidi, I woke up at 4 this morning and rode then did a few laps around the base today. I was sure I was going to pass you.... but nooooooooo still beating me by a few miles
See if you'd only gotten up at 2, you could have secured that spot...MancilG said:

Just so you'all know I like Bikejournal better
http://bikejournal.com
Look for yourself, first it reset at the begining of the year so you are only comparing this years results but past years are archived, it is easy to navigate and hold more features. I will continue to use both unless ya'll want to start a club on the journal too...

I ain't joining another one. This one is fine.
I'm beat - I need a few days off (also fighting a cold)
I had my best workout yet last night. I can't wait for this race.douglas said:
As the developer of mycyclinglog.com, I just want to let everyone know that I'm glad you have chosen to use mycyclinglog.com. There are several sites out there with similar functionality and since mycyclinglog.com just came out in June 2005 I've been playing a lot of catch-up. At the same time, my goal remains to provide a quick, clean, and easy to use site. The fact that people keep telling their friends and recruiting new members motivates me to continue improving My Cycling Log.
Thanks, and keep logging!
mike.
BTW, I'm going to reset each group's total distance retroactively to the beginning of the year to level the competition field.

Mike Keep up the good work!mikwat said:
Oe question though how come you ask for scren names at the time of registration but we are tracked by our birth names? I know a lot of us at the Monkey would prefer to be using our screen names to avoid confusion... just a mindless comment.
Y'all should go buy the spinervals "timetrialapalooza" DVD. It makes me want to cry. I love it.
Hey kids, we're kicking some CP SLO Wheelmen tuckus! A little over 200 miles and we've got first place....not that we're being competative or anything
Sufferorama is harder I thought.Echo said:
That's next. What is the difficulty rating on that one? Coach Troy cracks me up.Heidi said:
I don't remember - 9 something. We joke, but I could often hear Coach Troy during my races. "Come on, just spin it, spin it!"Echo said:
Don't cheat on me! You're only cheating yourself!
Well, it looks like the Monkies have moved into 1st! 
my spin bike doesn't record mileage, so i'm of no help right now.hooples3 said:
That's ok...I've not put in more than an hour on the trainer since I bought it a year ago. It just sits under the bed.narlus said:
Of course, that is one of the advantages of living in the south. Year around outdoor riding without the need for studded tires.
Just out of curiosity...for those of you participating in the mycyclinglog group, what percentage of your miles are spinning vs. outdoor?
Looks like it should be in the 70's the rest of the week here....the commute should be nice. I can't wait for the weekend so I can get in a nice long MTB ride.
eric
We are number 1 right now ....... Sweet
I haven't logged any spin miles. All miles are actual, and yesterday occured in some beautiful snow... (no studded tires required, but may have been helpful on the frozen pools of ice at times...)druber said:
