Life got in the way for the first half of the week. Motivation problems killed the last half. I need to get back on track for this week.

71.4 miles this week, including a great group ride this morning at a sane pace. Now that I have an Edge 305 I can also note that this included 3029' of climbing.

I haven't been involved in the spinner mileage thread before, but I'd like to add my riding to the mix.

By way of background, I'm around 225 now at 5'10''. I multimode commute from the south shore of boston to Cambridge by bike-boat-bike or bike-train-bike depending on weather and schedule.

Monthly mileage to date:
January 80
February 93
March 105
April 153
May (through last saturday may 10) 85

Only 60 miles for week ending 5/18. Shortened work week due to vacation, and bad weather cut my commuting down to two days, and no opportunity for extra miles last week...
