goal of 20k shouldn't be a problem this month. Maybe I should bump it to 25k

Much of this is just commuting back and forth to work. The miles and climbing add up very quickly.

Guess I did an epic fail...said I was going to do 30...well there is next month.

Rounded out the month with 14,356' of climbing. Abysmal mileage total at only 182.4 miles, but I've been concentrating more on intensity than distance in prep for racing season starting up on Monday, and spending lots of hours training at a new job instead of training on the bike. It's a tough trade-off to make, but it will be worth it in the long run.

So after my accident I was finally able to get back on the bike on the 15th. I stayed with the flat club rides because I don't have a chance in hell of keeping up with the hill riders. On average they're about 50-100% faster than me so I get dropped in the first tenth of a mile. That being said I still managed 5738 feet for half a month. Not bad.
So I didn't really make it, but it's a great effort for half a month.
Plus I hit my first 15.0 monthly average speed ever. Previous best was 13.2mph over 500 miles with 8k of elevation. I'm getting there.

Congrats on that average speed. I have never averaged 15 for a month. I can average that on rides with few hills but never over a month. Well done.Originally Posted by Mithrandir
