I dunno how it happened, because I apparently hate riding in the cold, but I ended up with 704.1 miles and 24,264ft^ for November. That's more than I was doing at the beginning of the summer, when I felt like I was riding a lot.

So if I can manage to bodge the miles together:

Shimano PRO Alti computer: 769 miles, January 19 - March 8
Sigma 16.12 STS CAD: 1,119 miles, March 10 - May 6
Garmin 500: 4,473 miles, May 8 - November 30

So somewhere around 6,361 for 2015. I'd really like to make an even 7,000 for my first year... which will be possible if i cheat it out to my start date of January 19. I dunno if I can manage 639 miles in December, because of holidays (the kids are out of school most of the month) and it's gonna be cold and I hate the cold. But 639 miles in 50 days... man, I can do that.

I ended up with 407 for the month.

I'm 309 from 5,000 miles for the year. Not sure if I'm going to get it or not this month. Not really feeling it. We'll see.

I'm sure I could get it on the trainer, but I don't count those miles.

Well, this was an interesting month, between being sick, and the weather being too cold or too wet, or we were out of town, when the weather was nice.

The Thanksgiving day ride was nice, but I had an issue with my front derailleur, so I had to ride in the small chainring for most of the ride. For me that's not too much of an issue. It just meant that I was cross-chaining a little bit on some of the slight downhills, and just coasting on the bigger downhills. I looked at a few videos on Friday and Saturday, and I was able to adjust the FD before going on a ride on Saturday. The trim isn't exactly the way it was before, but it is shifting as well as it ever did.

Life and a new job kept me off the bike some and fell short of my typical 500+ mile goal. Only got up to 417 miles for the month.

On the positive side the residential renovation project I have going that is consuming my time is wrapping up nicely and nearly ready to hit the market. New paint all around, new floors, all new appliances, finished man-cave garage and shop (complete with heat/water/air/TV/internet and plenty of power), all new lighting, new HVAC, new gas fireplace, and some other touches. As soon as I turn over this property it'll be new bike time!!!!
