Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - May 250+ mile challenge

It's springtime and biking season. Who's in for 250 miles this month??

Me so far:

5/1 5.25 miles
5/2 13.75 miles

I'm in for more than twice that many.

I am in.

5-2: 22 miles
5-3: 22 miles

I'm in too. If I can get my bike back on the road, I'll do 250 this month just back and forth to work. Need to drive to the bike shop in Sebring tomorrow and get some tubes...then I'm back on the road.

Was sick the last 3 days so I wasn't able to ride at all. Went out for 18 miles today and felt surprisingly good. I think my legs definately enjoyed the rest days, but I'm going to have to get in some longer rides to get back on pace for 250 miles.


5/1 5.25 miles
5/2 13.75 miles
5/6 18 miles

MTD: 37 miles

I'm in and plan on busting that. 82 miles to date. 468 last month and 1000 year to date. Upcoming weather is going to be the issue. Lots of rain ahead and I don't ride in the darned rain!

5/2 28.5
5/5 31.1
5/6 39.6

99.2 miles MTD and almost 7000' of climbing.
I need May to be a big riding month, as I slacked in april due to rain.
Shooting for 400-500
So far 1457 YTD with 73,916' of climbing.
Not bad for a 290lbs uber clyde!!!

290km last week. Target for this week is 350km if the weather holds for Saturday. If it rains I may just go for a 100km ride in the rain anyway.

Only been back on the bike for a little over a month (started riding again on April 1st after a 8 month hiatus where I gained 40 lbs), and I'm feeling better and better every ride.

I've got slightly over that so far this month. What a great spring I'm a century away from 3000k for the season.

I got 85 Miles so far in 4 rides.

Since I posted a goal of 350 in the hundred-mile-plus thread, I guess I'm in for this one as well.

Weather report kept saying it was going to rain. It didn't until Saturday. I had said on Friday "Screw this - if it's not raining tomorrow when it's time to go to work, I'm riding."

Thunderstorms & flooding on Saturday.

Oh well.

What I don't get are people who do century rides. I'm on a 40 mile (thereabouts) round trip commute, and I'm pretty tired by the time I get to work - and again when I get home. I couldn't imagine a century ride.

My hat's off to those guys.

I'm in,
I've only got 33 miles of commuting this month (not much more for the year actually), but have a 250 mile 4 day tour of Wales coming up, so should get there. Hopefully this will kick start my year, I've had a bit of a hiatus for just over a year.

14/5 - 11 miles
15/5 - 11 miles

290km, 340km, 250km and with luck another metric century tomorrow. Still one more week to go and I'm close to 1000km.

With my May goal 350 miles, I've got some work to do this last week.

Woot!!! Just got back from a 23.2 mile ride which, combined with my commute today, puts me at 28.4 miles for the day and 262.5 miles for the month. I met my goal and have 6 days left!!! Supposed to be super windy tomorrow (30 mph with gusts up to 45 mph) so I probably won't ride, but I plan to miles in on Sunday and Monday.

Yeah, I crossed the line a week ago. I'm at 329 for the month right now, and have a couple more days to ride. Weather is supposed to 'go south' starting tomorrow night, with a tropical storm up on the NE Florida coast pushing in some rain bands. I'd like to get to 400 for the month, but don't know about if I'll get a chance, as I'm losing a couple days of commuting next week to a trip 'up state' for some training on Tuesday evening and all day Wednesday. My next chance to ride to work may well be on Thursday morning. Have to see how many miles I can get in on Sunday and Monday?

I doubt I'll be doing any more this month. I called in sick today - some kind of bug is kicking my butt. Tomorrow's my regular day off but I'd be surprised if I do any riding tomorrow. I'd have to experience a miraculous recovery. If I do ride between now and Thursday it'll be the grocer's a mile down the road (or the pharmacy .25 miles further).

The day after (last day of the month) my wife has a big doctor's appointment which will tie me up all day. We're hoping for good news.

Month to date: 625.5 miles. :)

My month thru yesterday:

293.18 miles between my 3.1 Madone before the catastrophe(:cry:) and my FX....

Well, I hit 361 miles over the weekend (goal was 300) and I'm at 9700 feet or so (goal is 10k) so I'll hit that this afternoon just riding out of my *@&# driveway.

5/30/12-380mi for May. If I ride to the station tomorrow, may hit 400.

Sweet!

Commuting?

Commuting and riding every weekend.

Same here. I've not been hardcore enough to ride when there's bad weather predicted. That's changing, though. I've come to realize that my local weather forecasters seem to be about as accurate as a voodoo priestess waving a chicken foot overhead.

Too many times over the last month I've ridden the bus while thinking "I should have ridden the bike."
