Rode in from my gf's place 40+ miles. Rode out yesterday morning. Day off today because of the weather. Had a flat approx. 20 miles out. Changed it in about 10 mins...new record. Wet, windy and cold...perfect cycling weather. Ha! Have been averaging over 100 miles per week since the beginning of the year. 140 miles last week. Last purchased gas for my pick-up on 2/22. Calves are a little sore, but otherwise ok. Will do my regular commute tomorrow(21 mi. r/t)

Need to brag a little on my girl...she's been commuting to church every Sunday for the last month(25 mi r/t). Trains 20-40 mins everyday on a Schwinn stationary. Bought her a used Specialized Crossroads for her b-day last year and she's been wearing it out as of late. Her technique and stamina have improved on every ride. There's this one hill. She had to walk it the first time. The next week I showed her switchbacks. This week expecting her to do switchbacks I lagged behind a little...she went straight up w/no hesitation. She said she's ready to go clipless.
