Looks unlikely that I'll get a ride in tomorrow, so I'll post what I got:
April: 848 miles
And a century ride on Sunday to help kick off May! Looking forward to it!

I'd have to really pick up the pace, I only have 307 miles for April......dunno if my knees can handle the pace, but it's another goal, and goals are never easy.
EDIT, if I bagged the hills I love to have torture me it might be easier.

Yesterday was a 12 mile 2.7 hour ride. My average heart rate was 146. @ 1500' elevation gain. Plus I found some 50 cal. casings. What a day. Not many miles, but a great adventure.

260 miles so far in May.
609 in April
578 in March
553 in February
528 in January
2,528 so far for the year.
Got me a digital bathroom scale yesterday. I'm at 240 lbs, but doesn't seem like I've been losing anything here lately, either. Time to eat less or something, I guess.

248 for May so far. I stopped the commuting rides during the week and only do Sat/Sun group rides and Tue/Wed race nights. Otherwise my legs are getting too tired from all the work.
