Commuting sure helps but I think the real gains are from consecutive longish weekend rides. With a century scheduled for May 20th and the Seattle to Portland in July I am somewhat trying to follow the training plan for the STP. This has been a huge time committment but I am enjoying it as well. My goal has been to get down to 230 by June, 8-9 lbs. to go, not sure I'll make that without cutting back on the comfort foods.

I concur with Chef! Well done everyone. It is not the amount of miles so much as it is setting an achievable goal and going out there and meeting or exceeding it. Keep the enjoyment high even if this means enjoying the pain on occasion and you'll keep getting on the bike, at least that is how it works for me.

Between sickness and an incredible crunch of chores that required me to take vacation, I only made 147.42 km. For the rst of the year I'll have to do 316 km/month to make up for April's shortage in order to reach the year's goal of 3600 km. My goal will to do more than than to build up some padding.

Finally got on my bike for the first time this month. Commute to work. 21 miles.

I'm going to try to commute all week. At 10 miles each way, it'll add up quick.
