Cloudy, Damp and mist in the air; but put on the rain jacket and gave it a go. Don't believe I every rode the bike 7 days in a row, now I can't stop. Just 15 miles tonight, bringing my month to 310 miles, 190 to go. 641 miles for the year. Thunderstorms in forecast for Monday, hope I can sneak in a ride.

Wasn't feeling very energetic today but got out there anyway for a solo 69 mile ride. Average speed was 12.2 mph. Wind on the last 10 miles back to the house kicked my butt. There's a pretty big hill the last mile before the house. Walked up that sucker. Didn't have anything left in my legs at that point.

Total for the month so far 1,429 miles and 50,437 ft of hill climbing.

Metric Century from JPL to Venice Beach, out-and-back. The conditions of the asphalt in Los Angeles city is absolutely horrible. Last week, the afternoon "talk show hosts" on a local radio station were really ragging on the conditions of the streets. Said that the works department is 60 years backlogged. I believe it!

Also for each week in the month of May I am setting a weekly goal of 150 miles.

Weightloss goal of 10 pounds. Apr 30, 2013 weight 254
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First week of May update: Current May total is 95 Miles.
Weekly goal of 150 miles: Fail: 115 miiles (last few days of Apr) would of had to do a century weekend, good start with 55 on Saturday but not happening today, so hopefully the failure will motivate me for next week!
No luck at all in the weight department -1 for 253 Base miles pretty set guess its time to turn it up a few notches!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current May total: 195 Miles
Weekly goal (150mi): Fail - 100.5miles
Weight: 0 back at 255 - goal 245 5-31-13 not sweating that one as I think some is that is just waiting to pass but was a very poor diet week
Thiird Week of May update:
Current May Total: 350 miles 330 third week total for may and 20 today before posting
Weekly goal (150mi): not a fail/call it an almost...135miles
Weight: -7 @ 248

Weekly goal should of been knocked out this week, just life getting in the way but this week if weather cooperates should be the week i nail that damn goal. This saturday I did my first 50 mile ride with only 3.5 minutes stopped for traffic, but bonked hard the last 8 miles and ran out of H2o and light. Next up a metric!

It's not looking good for my goal this month. Between my bike being in the shop, some big winds on days I'd planned to ride and just feeling off my game for a couple weeks. Oh well, I think I needed the rest. Camping season will start soon too. Maybe I will take a bike up camping with me.

This is almost my month I am going to really kick start my weight loss. Already lost 13 lbs in the last 6 weeks, want to shoot to be down 25 overall by months end. I am seeing my doc next week so I will get the thumbs up on that as well from her.

Mileage goal complete as of yesterday

MTD - 283
YTD - 557

Weight goal is close, down 22.5 lbs. Just 2.5 more to hit a 25 total goal this month.

Now I am inspired I have a higher m.t.d. total than Kazzy I'm sure that won't last long . Usually by this late in the month I am way behind you

9.4 miles today, puts me at 249.5km, out of a goal of 250km.

I really thought I would have the strava challenge completed today, so I'm kind of bummed. I would go out and bike .5km, but I've already showered. I'll knock it out friday.
