Took my rebuilt CX bike up to Donner summit for some high altitude cycling. Put 20 miles on a shakedown ride. Replaced chainrings, chain, cassette, bottom bracket, and cleaned and lubed everything else. After a little fine tuning she runs like a champ. Had a screaming fast descent down from the summit into Truckee. A little cool with some snow out on the shoulders of the road and way too much fun!

MTD 415 miles.

I've met my "intermediary" goal of 150 miles before my tour. I leave Wednesday for Canada, and the tour itself leaves Friday and is about 175 miles, so, unless disaster strikes, I'm now guaranteed to meet my milage goal! Hoping to get one more decent-length ride in tomorrow, but it's just for kicks now :-)

Roundtrip commute today brings me to 452 miles for the month.

Ride home was fast. Average speed 18.3 mph, which includes 5 miles through town before hitting the bikeway for 16 more miles.

Had a good race last night. Despite a small mechanical issue and the mother of all rattlesnakes coiled up on the course right in the middle of the track, managed an 11th place in my class.

MTD 507 fun-filled California sunshine miles

Picture is near the end of the last lap. Just cruising in to the finish about 1/4 mile ahead.

Friday's roundtrip commuter brings me up to 578 miles.

Picture from this weeks race. Third lap and was wheezing pretty good at this point from allergies and asthma on this little punchy climb.

Today's ride put me at 131 miles for the month https://www.strava.com/activities/593463576. It was a good ride with my oldest son where we stopped at a little over the 10 mile mark and split an order of tater tots and had a medium coffee each.

Despite being on the road for work for two weeks, and the rain (OMG, the RAIN!), I managed 257 miles this month, and 10,500ft of elevation. Would love to ramp it up some more, if the weather would cooperate.

And so closes the book for May.

1,008.9 miles
61 hours
42,453ft^

One double metric, 2 metrics, one 115k, and 13 rides over 50k. A pretty good month, all in all.

The weather for June looks... well, awful. But I'll see how it goes.

Met my goal and a (tiny) little bit more. Ended with 337.18 miles, which beats my best month by a good 50+ miles. I also had significantly more climbing than ever, having biked, having biked, for instance, up to here (I'm the woman, in case you're wondering).
