A few days off the bike due to Easter, entertaining, and eating chocolate. Time to burn off some of the surplus calories. Put down some power at first but having set what I'm sure is a personal best for speed over time I felt faint when I stopped for a water break. For good measure that was at the furthest point from anything, so I sat for a few minutes, drank some water and ate a cereal bar, then figured I needed to move on as I could always bail if I needed to. And as it happened the second half was only slightly slower, largely due to the fact it took in about three miles of shared gravel path with the usual clutch of pedestrians with kids and dogs.

A couple of times on the way back I felt that urge to see how much power I could lay down, and briefly had the bike up to 27mph on the flats. Would have been nice if I could have sustained it a little longer...

I left Texas at the end of March and now am sitting at the corner of Iowa/Missouri/Illinois. I am cold! It was below freezing this morning. I cannot seem to get on my bike so I have been doing the walk/run thing.

Ack!!!!!!

+10.11 today in stormy weather, rain and wind. Yesterday I joined my Scout troop on a 4 mile hike up a ridge 1800' elevation change. My leg muscles are a bit sore from that.

Total so far is: 158.50. Not the best :(

158.5 is better than 158.0 :)
Keep at it my friend.

I'm going to have to just suck it up and start riding in the rain. I've only ridden once this month - 16 miles.

I have tomorrow off work - but the forecast is thunderstorms. The weekend is supposed to be nice, though.

The clutch is going out in my daily driver, and I've been waiting for better weather to start working on it - which, if I take my time while working on it, will force me to commute by bike at least a couple days (24mi r/t).

Nice today! I did 18.5 miles. With several little rides in the last couple of days I am at 55.38 for the month. I forgot that I had a couple of rides right at the beginning of the month. I am at 1245 for the year. I have catching up to do but rain/thunderstorms is in the forecast for the next three days.

I'm in with a goal of 350 for April. I've got a late start due to a spring break trip.

4/7 25.09
4/8 22.83
4/10 14.95
4/12 14.04

MTD 79.91
YTD 389.5 miles

El Gigante 04-12-12 03:16 PM

OK - I'll play!!

Jan - 331.85 miles
Feb - 269.0 miles
Mar - 133.4 miles*
Apr - 147.8 miles

* had 3 and 1/2 weeks off from 3/7 - 3/31 due to a fairly nasty crash with a pedestrian while commuting to work. This is the second week back since I came face to face with the pavement in March

Goal is 350 miles/ month which should be a bit easier to attain now that spring is right around the corner!! (Something about the start of baseball season makes you realize that the long, dark winter is almost over!)
