If you have any questions let me know, please make sure to log all your miles!

]]> Welcome bcinaz /community/discussion/9775/ /community/discussion/9775/ Mon, 23 Mar 2009 07:33:22 -0500 wightboi Hello!

I just wanted to extend a "welcome" :)

]]> Hello group! /community/discussion/9451/ /community/discussion/9451/ Sat, 07 Mar 2009 22:36:56 -0600 eclary Just wanted to say a quick hello to everyone.  I'm glad I found this group.  I would say I'm an intermediate level female cyclist, actually beginner to intermediate.  I hope to join a few rides during the week.  I would really like to increase my base miles to get me to that next level.  If anyone knows of some good rides during the week (that I wouldn't be a complete anchor in) please let me know.  Laughing]]> Welcome wunderworks! /community/discussion/8918/ /community/discussion/8918/ Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:10:11 -0600 wightboi hows it going? /community/discussion/7914/ /community/discussion/7914/ Thu, 27 Nov 2008 10:41:22 -0600 wightboi
Don't forget to track your rides, anyone have any thoughts on me assigning a total group mileage goal for December?

Happy Riding!]]> Another addition! /community/discussion/6990/ /community/discussion/6990/ Tue, 23 Sep 2008 21:42:23 -0500 wightboi Big welcome to my little bro Grant joining our group from Hawaii!

 Glad to here you're on the bike, that's awesome - if you get a chance take some pictures of your ride so us out here in the desert can drool :)

]]> Welcome Cary! /community/discussion/6873/ /community/discussion/6873/ Tue, 16 Sep 2008 20:13:24 -0500 wightboi I just wanted to say welcome to the group Cary!!!

 Quick introduction, Cary and I are both members of the USAA Employee Cycling team, and ride together on Saturday mornings.  

 Great to see you on line :)

]]> September goal /community/discussion/6583/ /community/discussion/6583/ Sun, 31 Aug 2008 13:44:13 -0500 wightboi howdy!

I was just about to set a milage goal for September - I just started a new job so until October i'm only able to ride on Saturdays so for september i'm going to shoot for 200 miles...  Let me know how many miles you are going to try to accomplish and once I here from everyone i'll set the goal :)

PS: If you set up rides in advance in your training log and don't end up riding them, or ride more/less miles then you had posted,  please make sure to go back into that ride and delete it, don't just leave it up and add another ride - it throws off the goal meter so we never really know if we're on track or not

Thanks ya'll!

PS: Nice work J-Bird!!!

]]> Mapping /community/discussion/6227/ /community/discussion/6227/ Sat, 09 Aug 2008 06:37:40 -0500 wightboi Sometimes when mapping a route the mapping software will choose to go
beyond the point you have selected, then track back... the notes will
then instruct you to go beyond that point, turn around and go back
making what might have once been intended to be a Left turn, now a
Right turn - this is obviously a bug... i'm typing this to encourage
everyone to go through the notes while you are mapping you're route
(you can click "undo" and choose a different point in the same area
that does not activate this bug) as to avoid confusion, or getting lost
(like I did)

]]> Post your weekend ride /community/discussion/6194/ /community/discussion/6194/ Thu, 07 Aug 2008 12:47:10 -0500 wightboi Here it is, a new route i'll be trying with the employee cycling team - i'll let you know how it went :)

]]> August mileage goal /community/discussion/6087/ /community/discussion/6087/ Sat, 02 Aug 2008 18:28:33 -0500 wightboi Good afternoon! 

I set the mileage goal for this group at 800 miles - I kept it
pretty conservative for the first month to see how things pan out - I
personally am going to try to be responsible for 300 of those miles. 
To check the progress of the group just click on the "goals" tab. 

********  MAKE SURE YOU LOG YOUR RIDES!  ********

I'm going to check with a local bike shop and see if he will sponsor
our monthly challenges and offer some kind of "incentive" to help
motivate us - no promises of course, but it's worth a shot :)

Any questions or suggestions are always encouraged :)

Let's Ride!

]]> Welcome! /community/discussion/6067/ /community/discussion/6067/ Fri, 01 Aug 2008 20:52:54 -0500 wightboi I just wanted to say WELCOME! 

J-Bird, glad to see you on here man - where is the little lady? :)

Master Kakin, all the way from Indiana, miss you brother!

Monk, my beautiful wife, who probably doesn't even know she's a part of this group... LOL

sbr123 - friend from team zen - west siiiiiiiide!

Anywho, track your miles, and if at all possible PLEASE make your training log public - i use this to see how much riding is going on and i can set a monthly goal - and maybe harass you once in a while :P
