Great Ride Went to Nashville and rode the Greenways J Percy Priest Dam, Stones river, Shelby Bottoms, Music City, East Shore, then downtown up to circle the state Capitol That was my Goal but felt like more so Went to Charlotte pike to the Parthenon. Circled that and returned 40 miles total! most since my old days almost 20 years ago.

Pledged 120 -12 = 108 Remaining (4/1) (Peugeot) (9.8 avg/1:12:57) (Strong headwind)
Remainder 108 - 20 = 88 Remaining (4/3) (96 Rockhopper) (computer went dead avg ~10 mph)
Remainder 88 - 40 = 48 (4/6) (Peugeot) (10 mph avg - Traffic/hills/People on Greenway)

15.1 miles today, 25 for the month.

15.1 is the longest I have ever rode, and it felt great. I did get a little sore from the saddle. I think the saddle is fine, but I don't own any padded bike shorts. I'm going to remedy that, and a pair is already been ordered. 15 miles did feel great, and with proper shorts I think I can hit 20 miles next week. The most important thing is I'm back on target for my 100 miles this month.

How does this work? Just post a goal and post daily miles?

Will chef make cookies if we reach goal?

Well I did not get my 15 miles (would have been my longest to date) on Friday as planned. It was just too cold and windy. So, today I started out to ride the 15 I did not on Friday, again the wind was in the mid teens with gusts into the upper twenties. I went out against the wind and when I got to 7.5 miles which was my turn around for 15 miles I felt pretty good so, I pushed to 10.25 and came back against the wind.

4/7 - 20.5 miles
MTD - 30.7 miles
To Go - 69.3 miles

Thanks. 3-5 mornings a week at 15-19 miles and then usually a weekend ride of 25+ miles. Had a couple of 50+'s that help, too. That said, compared to some of the riders here, that's not all that much.

40 miles with 2,200' gain on the bike getting my arse handed to me by CAT4's.
A 2:05 half marathon that had 800' of gain yesterday was NOT(!) a good idea.

April:
Running: 24.8 mi / 1,311' gain
Ridding: 175 / 5,059' gain


YTD:
Running: 208.3 mi / 10,635' gain
Ridding: 1,143 mi / 57,288' gain

4-7 32.4 miles on a windy, gusty day after it quit raining. Should have been much longer however feel good that I achieved a KOM 2/10th mile 2.4% grade sprint.
Tomorrow I start back bike commuting so the miles should increase.......

Enjoyed a very nice solo ride today up in foothills from Auburn up past Foresthill, CA. Total of 65 miles and 5,600 ft of climbing for the day.

April mileage = 285

I'm chained to the office all next week and the weather is looking good so looking forward to five great commute days.
