Going to shoot for 175 miles this month. But like last month, if I achieve my goal with plenty of month to spare, I will upwardly modify my goal, probably to 200 to 225 miles for the month.

I'm going to try and get 312 miles this month as that would put me at 5,000 for the year, but I don't know if I have the drive to get it done at this point. We shall see.

228 miles is my goal for the month. I finished building up my new bike on August 30th. I have 793.8 miles on it. I rode 21.2 miles on Wednesday. I want to get up to 1,000 before the end of the year.

MTD
4 Dec - 49.6
7 Dec - 70.1
8 Dec - 107.6
9 Dec - 121.8
11 Dec - 170.2
21 Dec - 213.6 - Slowed down a lot due to the weather/holidays. Almost at my goal though.
28 Dec - 231.6

Finished my goal but I'm getting fat from the holidays. I think I'll set my goal at 350 next month and get strict with my diet...

Goal this month: An hour on the stationary bike every day. Unfortunately I've already failed at that as I've only got 2 hours this week and planning some holiday travel at the end of the month

12/1 - 01:00 hour spin
12/2 - 01:05 hour spin
12/3 - 00:00 hour spin (too exhausted after 14 hours of work)

MTD: 02:05 hour spin / 31:00 hours

My typical Winter time one-way commute mileage is 20-22 miles. I just started a new job and most days commuting one-way until things settle in.

Mileage up to 120 this month. Had a great CX race Saturday to end the week. Only hit the dirt once
