I have come to the conclusion that because many of my miles are commuter miles and my work keeps me from commuting all the time......I am going to log my miles, but not commit to a goal.

April 112 miles

For May....
In a perfect world 288 goal.
Realistic 187 goal

2013.05.01 14 miles
2013.05.04 40 miles
2013.05.08 7 miles (rained out)
2013.05.10 36 miles wet gravel
2013.05.12 18 miles payment
2013.05.17 14
2013.05.19 38 miles payment
2013.05.21 14
2013.05.26 21

Total = 202

Well I need 500 miles to get back on pace for a 3000 mile year. But, with yesterdays ride I wrote off one 6 mile road as just too bumpy. And another loop is closed for a bridge replacement. Damn Dept. of Transportation is working against me. Then again I want to get a 68 mile birthday ride in this month. I'll stick with 500 miles. Now out of here for another 20.

I started the month off great. I did 27km with a couple of girlfriends. We had a great morning in the sun riding out into the country then back to one of their houses for blueberry muffins and tea.

MTD - 27km

My goal is to ride every day to work, then do my wed club ride.
So that equates to 650 km for the month of May.

MTD
299.6 km / 650 km

My phone crapped out for a couple of these rides so its not being reflective on my May Massive stats.

Well it finally happened, I stopped to turn right at a junction and forgot to put my foot down. So my first ever fall in my SPD pedals has happened, I can consider myself a broken in cyclist (fortunately not in too literal a sense). In terms of location, it couldn't have been much busier - about 100 yards from St Paul's Cathedral in central London. Oh well, might as well do it in style.

Today's run was a quick blast into town to run a couple of errands. Nothing special, just a few miles on a rather warm day. Broke 1000 miles for the year, finally, no thanks to the weather for the first three months...

May 03 - 28 miles

MTD - 28 miles / 338
YTD 1016 / 3107

Star Wars Day!

Took a friend out for a quick spin on a road bike, he recently inherited a rather elderly 5-speed that rattles a bit and wants to try a road bike. The LBS has a used bike that fits him perfectly, so he took it out for a ride with me to see how it compared to the elderly 5-speed. Needless to say he was appreciably faster, and we took in a couple of hills I steered clear of last time around because I figured he'd struggle with them.

May 03 - 28 miles
May 04 - 18 miles

MTD - 46 miles / 338
YTD 1034 / 3107

5th May - 24.75 Miles
Had to abandon my original plan of hill climbing, am still too much out of shape, alarm on the cycling computer kept going off telling me that my heart rate had exceeded max (up to 214 at one stage)
Still managed to find a lot of smaller hills to do today, so day wasn't a total waste.

Total for May - 31.25 Miles

5/2 20.9 miles
5/3 Feeling lazy, no motivation.
5/4 100.5 miles. Made up for yesterday. Planned to do an 84 mile loop, but felt strong when I got home so I went back out and bagged the century. This may have been my first ever century, or at least the first one I can verify.

MTD: 121.4 miles
