Been back for a few weeks but just taking is slow. The bike has become a fun way to get cardio and work legs without the impact.

Me finding the cycling thread:
We have a Peloton at the house, but as far as bikes Iāve got a Trek District track bike and just ordered a Trek Marlin 7 that Iām super stoked to get here. My son is about to turn eight and he does surprisingly well on the trails so itās time to hit them hard, but havenāt had a mountain bike in some time.

I need to get a trainer and get into virtual racing. Anybody doing this? Looks fun.
Hereās the Trek District S I have. Itās fun to just cruise around town on. Itās stealthy quiet/effortless.
Still pining for that Marlin 7 to get off backorderā¦

If anyone is riding the trails in the OKC area, the new Soldier Creek Industrial Park trail they just expanded is great. It is really family friendly and anyone can ride them. If you are more experienced it is a super fast trail with lots of kickers and a jump line.
How do you like your Peloton?
If anyone is tracking their rides, can you upload them so we can see possible new options?
We love it. Itās great to bang out a 30 minute workout at the house. Thereās a bunch of different trainers and styles of ride. You can do intervals with weights, HIIT, endurance, you name it. Off the bike there is core, arms, yoga, legs, and even outdoor running sessions (audio).
With the subscription you have 12 slots for accounts, so you can share with family and friends if you donāt have a massive immediate family for them to do the off-bike stuff.
Iāve been very impressed with it so far and weāve had it since February.

Now seems to be a more appropriate time to use this.

Here are all of the sections if youāre interested. I checked the app for something and thought this was better than what I wrote.

Can you do virtual reality races on it?
It keeps track of everyone who has ever done an event (usually around 30 to 50 thousand riders), so youāre always ranked. Thereās also a column for who is doing the session right then (can range from 10 to hundreds depending on how new the on-demand video is. These are like cycling courses where you stay within a resistance and cadence through intervals. But as for all out āracingā I havenāt actually looked. But they have virtual rides through beautiful places. Iām sure there are people who really push it in those. Iāll have to look into it, but there are leader boards on everything cycle based from what I have seen.

Just for the bump
Going out to Lake Georgetown Goodwater Trail to help clear the trail of a large oak that fell during the week.
Also, will get a short ride in after and maybe a swim in the lake.

I got 14 miles in this evening. I got blocked off by a cemetery where they are excavating graves. Creepy stuff, but humorous in a wayā¦I turned around and got off that trail.
