Mine is updated through last week. I haven't biked all that much in the last few weeks, but I did just top 2000 miles for the year. Yay me!

0 last week, 85 the week before. I'm 543 away from 4000 for the year, with one little, cold and snowy month left.

Psh, bring it. Only 18 miles a day. I blew all my other goals for the year, maybe I can hit this one?

Week ended 11/29/2008

Distance: 75.84 miles
Time: 4:31:18
Ascent: 3,486 ft

All miles in the glorious outdoors this week. This was a recovery/rest week so I was trying to keep my intensity down and really just enjoy the rides. I was semi successful. I enjoyed all of the rides, but probably went harder than I should have on at least a couple occasions .

Spreadsheet updated

72 last week, 36 short of my goal (two half days, and skipping Saturday put me behind). No worries, though, I had a nice long ride this AM (in 15-20 degree temps!!), and doing 20/day next week will put me back on track.

4000 keeps getting closer...

I forgot about this thread, so I updated my last few months of riding and going off of my spreadsheet posted miles. Great miles everyone.

What is the goal for 2009?

67.81 for the week.
Between my wife having the week off from work, getting a dumpster to cleanup the yard/shed and breaking my front fork on my commuter bike not a very mile productive week.
