Huff, you passed me by. Too hot for me to ride. I still can't handle temps above 80 without feeling ill and asthmatic. 
Not going to be much riding over the next few days.

The month isn't over yet. It will probably cool down. Let's see how things look at the end of the month.

Well, I'm happy to say that I completed my century! At the end of it all, actually the total was 177.9km or 110.5 miles.
Here is my Strava of the trip.
On the road by 6am and set a pretty good pace early, but my choice of route took me through town a couple of times, so that combined with some head winds from about the 118km mark through to around 153km mark took my average down, but still, I am ok with a 29.2km/h (18.2mph) average given that it was a totally solo effort in normal traffic.
I was supposed to have a mate join for at least the Western loop, but the b*****d had a big night out last night and was a no show! Oh well, I feel all the more proud of it for being totally solo.
Got my digital badge! lol
MTD: 1052.6km/654.1 miles
YTD: 1873.5km/1164.1 miles

No idea the exact mileage, but every week in Feb I've been over 100 (more like 150-200), all outside. All in the cold.
Is it spring yet? Please???

2/22- bailed on the commute and took the bus to work instead. Planned to do some hill repeats after work but when I got home there was pizza, and couldn't pass up good hot pizza. The hill will still be there tomorrow.

MTD: 219.71
YTD: 465.08
Everything this month has been on TruTrainer rollers, though - which require the same effort as cycling outdoors on the flat, but are a lot more boring. 122.2 miles of the YTD total was done outdoors, during our freakishly warm January (daily highs in the upper 30s, sometimes even in the 40s).
So, outdoors:
MTD: 0 (but some XC skiing)
YTD: 122.2
I'm putting in the indoor miles to help with the weight loss and to prepare for the St. Patrick's Day 100K out of Westfield, Mass.

2/24 - 50 miles today, gives me a total of 399.7 for the month. My goal was 400, so now do I dog off the rest of the month? No Way! YDT 694.

Unfortunately didn't get out for any rides on my days off, but my commuting miles put me at 193.7 so far, for the month. Hopefully the weather will be nice and I'll get off my duff and go for a ride later this week, but my commute Monday/Tuesday will put me over my goal of 200 for the month.
I am toying with the idea of a 45 mile ride on Thursday up to a series of trails and a nature preserve*, if I actually do it, I should make 250 miles for the month.
