I use Excel. Allows me to track heart rates, the elevation gain, miles, time and then I can use the math functions to get averages, sums etc.

That goal ain't going to cut it.
You were volunteered to do 500 miles this month

chefisaac 04-02-12 11:51 AM

ibo: I might be able to do it but not sure. Work traveling this month too. We will see. How about 350-500 as a goal? :) Can't we compromise!!!????

Sayre Kulp 04-02-12 12:30 PM

I'll see what I can get. I have high hopes, but I was a bit too ambitious in March as well.

I'll be shooting for 450. Did 39 1/2 yesterday and am comuting daily so it should be achievable. Now if only I can kick this cold quickly before it makes my goal harder to reach. Anyway with a century scheduled for May 20 I had better reach my goal and then some. Details about that below.

Nice start but I'm only shooting for 250 this month because of schedule.

avmech 04-02-12 03:02 PM

Make it 200. Hopefully I will have the time to ride this month!!

$hit. I just do not know. We will have to see. Last month was a real stretch for me. My legs felt it.

dygituljunky 04-02-12 04:48 PM

In for 300 km again this month.

I just barely made it last month due to multiple flat tires on my upright and a mild injury from pushing too far while getting used to the recumbent. My average speed and endurance are already back up to comparable to what I was able to do on the DF.

derecola 04-02-12 05:11 PM

I'm just getting back in the saddle so I'm shooting for 100 Miles....

Got in a couple rides today an easy 1 to the library and tonight did the Mon night 'recovery ride' with the group. Had to push myself a bit to go but it went well, nice to get out with other riders.

Did 430 miles in March, hooting for 500 in April. Got off to a great start with 103 miles on April 1st :)

krobinson103 04-03-12 12:00 AM

Minimum 600 miles. Maximum.. not sure I might get to 800 miles if the weather is nice to me. Got to get rid of that last 10kg and I'll ride as far as it takes to do it.

Starting the month off right; 41 miles logged and it's only the 3rd of the month. Hoping to log a metric century this weekend. Set a goal for 150 miles this month, but I think I'll break 200 at this pace. Finger's crossed for good weather.
