short road ride... I had planned for a 15 mile loop but about 1/2 way in wasn't feeling great... I guess I'm not 100% from being sick the other day :-/ so I took a bit of a detour to play a little bit of Ingress as a rest stop and cut the ride short...

Couple of good solo rides this weekend. Saturday 71 miles and Sunday 65 miles.

1,971 miles and 65,373 ft of climbing for the month so far. Still hanging in at 14th place on Strava May Massive scoreboard.

All the miles this month are having another effect. Was at the gym yesterday and stepped on the scale. Ten pounds down since the the beginning of the month!!!

Didn't want to break my streak on consecutive days riding, so waited till late evening to ride on Saturday. Winds were probably abt 20 mph instead of 25. I struggled to get in 20 miles. Believe I rode most of the route at 6 to 8 mph. Normal downhills at 22 mph were 11. Day 14, this Sunday, I thought streak would end with the family coming over for holiday festivities. But the grand children actually rode with me in the neighborhood for 7 1/2 miles... off and on, between water fights, grilling and Nerf dart guns. I tacked on 4 more miles after they left, so managed 11.2 miles for the day. My streak continues. Should have my 500 miles by Wednesday.

No days off this week if I am going to reach 650. Good thing the forcast looks good, last week's rain rides really sucked.

A bunch of these my phone crapped out mid ride so I didn't get the full credit on Strava. This past weekend I wiped my phone and reinstalled everything. Hopefully that resolves the issue... And prevents me from wanting to go out and spend money on a garmin....

Saturday I beat my record month, which was last September. And today I beat my goal for the month of 330 miles. And it started raining about 75% through my ride today, that sucked.

Godde Hill - Munz Ranch Road loop. A absolutely fabulous day to ride. Had to offer thanks to the Almighty for the opportunity to ride in a wonderful environment. Two of three monthly goals accomplished. Four more miles to reach the third monthly goal.

No days off this week if I am going to reach 650. Good thing the forcast looks good, last week's rain rides really sucked.

A bunch of these my phone crapped out mid ride so I didn't get the full credit on Strava. This past weekend I wiped my phone and reinstalled everything. Hopefully that resolves the issue... And prevents me from wanting to go out and spend money on a garmin....

Not looking good for reaching my goal. My non drive side crank was wobbling on me today. I stopped and retightened my crank bolt 3 times on my way in this morning.... Going to bring my bike to a shop at lunch today.

To extend your battery life, turn off all services (data, phone, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc) except for GPS while running Strava. Also, make sure the screen is turned off.

Using this method, a friend of mine that uses his iPhone for Strava was able to record a 5.5 hour, 105 mile ride.

I purchased a Garmin Edge 500 a little over a year ago. The only regret I have is that I didn't spend the extra money for an 800 - for the mapping / navigation features.
