200 miles in so far, with 50 more planned for tomorrow. 250 miles ridden in Feb will be a new record for me. That is for sure.

2/6 - 28 minutes
2/10 - 30 minutes
2/13 - 22 minutes
2/16 - 35 minutes
2/17 - 25 minutes - 5 miles outside
2/21 - 42 minutes - 9 miles outside
2/22 - 41 minutes - 9 miles outside
2/27 - 37 minutes
Total - 260 minutes -- 23 miles
Goal - 300 minutes
40 minutes tomorrow on the trainer will reach my goal .. and I found the Polar H7 HRM unit, so all I had to do was order a new strap. And the HRM doesn't lie ... I was dogging it the first couple of weeks, which, is to be expected a bit, as I get back to it, but I also notice I ride harder and more focused when I can see my Heart Rate and work to keep it in the target zone.

Non omnino gravis
It bucketed rain on me today-- forecast for 20% chance-- and I managed to get in 85 miles to squeak out the Strava distance challenge with 4km to spare. Losing the old frame mid-month cost me five days of riding in a row, so I only got in 18 rides for the entire month, the lowest number of rides (and hours) since November of 2015.
779.4 miles
47.6 hours
32,713ft
I will state for the record-- I genuinely needed those 5 days off. My speeds are up, my intensity is down, and I was knocking out 40+ miles a day for a week straight to try to chase down the distance challenge, with virtually no lasting fatigue. I seriously doubt I can force myself to stay off the bike for more than 1 day in a row, though. I took two days off at the beginning of the month for the first time in almost 2 years.
I just know that I spent the past two days absolutely soaking wet, need a day off, and am looking forward to the forecast high of 71º on March 1st.
