I'm in for 250.

11/01: 23.7 miles / 515'
11/02: 34.1 miles / 1,795' - Round-Trip San Francisco to Tiburon
11/03: 13.2 miles / 140'

Goal: 250 miles / 8,000'
MTD: 71 miles / 2,450'

^2 days with 57 out of 200. Now Chris, you can do 300 for sure.

Last month was a record month for me at 235 miles.

This month the majority of my miles will come from commuting, because the rain and cold have come, and most of my riding buddies are fair weather riders.

I might bump the goal to 250.. we'll see.

Today's 34 mile /1,800' ride was kicking my butt on the last climb, which felt like it was never going to end.

[edit]
OK, I updated my prior post (mileage for yesterday was off). I'm in for 250 miles and 8,000'. Both of those goals will be tough for me to reach - especially in November, but I'll try anyways.

With 8k' climbing. Good goal.

290 miles and 10,080' of climbing for me. Big PR for me as only two of those rides were pleasure - rest commuting. Looking forward for more to come.

rough way to start the month...Crashed my MTB last night pretty good, crossed wheels, over corrected and ended up getting high sided at 15mph. I held on to the bars to long and punched the ground on impact. Xrays showed nothing major but it is wrapped up. CT scan showed I also bruised my left kidney and large intestine in that area. Doc said no riding or impact sports for 1-2 weeks and I need a new MTB helmet cuz I hit it pretty darn good enough to be dizzy for a few minutes. My oakley jawbones took some impact where my face would have been dragging on the dirt. My niterider 600 cordless survives I had on the helmet and I think the bike is fine, didn't look at it yet.

Damn! Sorry to hear it, I hope you can recover well and quickly! So, how did the bike pull up?

As for me, 2 rides so far, a 25 and a 16 for 41 MTD.

otg 11-03-12 06:00 PM

Went out today for 32.5 on the Trek 660 I just finished putting together. Month so far - 40.5.

CalPastor 11-03-12 11:50 PM

October was my worst month...46 miles. I'm going for 250 in November.
11/3 - 24.5 miles

Gravity Aided 11-04-12 06:44 AM

12 miles yesterday , indoor trainer

OiS 11-04-12 08:31 AM

47 today, so 88 MTD, aiming for 520. At least 170 miles next weekend as I attempt to race in the "Tour de Bintan".

leaftye 11-04-12 10:11 AM

Finally did my first ride of the month. 22.1 miles. My longest. Was also solicited by a prostitute.

MTD: 22.1 miles
Goal: 200 miles

ChrisM2097 11-04-12 11:13 AM

Off to a very strong start. 4 days into the month, and I'm already over 50% done with my elevation goal, and nearly 40% done with my mileage goal. The weather has been absolutely gorgeous, and I'm trying to make the best of it before the rain and cold come back.

11/01: 23.8 miles / 515' - Commute
11/02: 34.1 miles / 1,795' - Round-Trip San Francisco to Tiburon
11/03: 13.2 miles / 140' - Alviso
11/04: 26.3 miles / 1,955' - Early morning ride & Wine tasting up the hill

Goal: 250 miles / 8,000'
MTD: 97.4 miles / 4,405'

Hello All. I have been absent from the Bike Fora for some time now but I have returned.

I will put myself in for 520 miles for November 2012.

I did 48 miles yesterday and once I send off this post I will go out and ride some more.

So, 48 down, 478 to go.

11-1 1:08 on the trainer at LBS
11-3 32.1 miles with a PR on one hill climb.
Spent most of the mid-day in my shop building a table to use with my bike in a trainer. I'll put my laptop on the table and either watch Sufferfest videos or just plug headphones in and listen to a fast tempo playlist.

Finally got out for a ride today. Woke up and it wasn't raining so I grabbed the bike and rode. Not a great idea to not eat first though....I stopped at about 9km and had a tea and breakfast sandwich at Starbucks and then rode home for a total of 18km.

Nov. 4 - 18km

MTD - 18km

Nice, quality workmanship. You could sell these.

chefisaac 11-04-12 03:11 PM

11-4: 22 miles

Telly 11-04-12 03:12 PM

For October I managed to regain my stride and clocked in 200 miles (322 km) which is about norm for my daily commuting. Unfortunately I've missed that goal in the summer months (June-August) due to work, moving to a different apartment and vacation by clocking in less than a month's mileage in those three months!

Black wallnut 11-04-12 06:30 PM

11-4 33.3 miles

volosong 11-04-12 08:31 PM

Going off daylight savings time is going to make it very difficult to ride after work. Maybe if I get a stronger light?

Thanks for the kind words, I may try through my LBS. Shipping would be a deal breaker unless someone had the "price is no object" attitude.

I managed 56 miles today. My body was pretty much done at mile 48 but I had to get home so I had to keep going.

11/3: 48 miles
11/4: 56 miles
104 down, 416 to go.

I've been thinking the same thing. Many people ride with lights but I can't really bring myself to ride at night, even with lights.
