Tried commuting on my old mountain bike*yesterday in heavy rain, got all of 3 miles down the road and said f**k this and turned around for the car.
I noticed something wrong on my last commute (Wednesday) and decided to clean and tune up my bike. Ended up replacing a chain, rear brake pads and cable. The cassette will probably need replacing by next year. Wasn't expecting these items to wear so quickly (only had the bike for a year). Lubed it up, and went for a test ride to make sure everything was OK.
40° + 12 MPH crosswinds + rolling hills = 2 miles
3/28: 6 miles (mountain bike in the rain, found out commuting in heavy rain doesn't interest me one bit)
3/29: 2 miles (test ride after fixing up my hybrid)
MTD: 363 miles (goal: 400 - may JUST make it)

3/31: 2.6 miles (working on speed, my averages this year have gone back to the beginning ~12mph, hopefully I can get back up to 15 MPH by July)
MTD: 365.6 miles - Didn't make my goal this month, had I known it wasn't going to rain today I would've commuted and exceed my goal. Oh well.
Onto April, and hopefully some warmer weather! April goal: 200 miles ( Just to be safe )

I finished the month with 22 rides, 9,269' of climbing and 408 miles of wonderful riding. Except for the last mile, I hit a speed bump wrong and crashed. Yes I have road rash but worse is the road rash I got on my Garmin Edge 705. Does anyone know if Garmin has a service that will replace the case and screen of one of their units? It still works but looks terrible.
BTW this was on MTB.

Last time on bike was 11.21.2013
3.06.2014 - bought the bike. Stopped on the way home and trail was still covered in ice and snow. 22° and I tried around town. Road around the block and back, less than a mile, LOL.
3.10.2014 - 9.3 miles. On the roads behind my house. First time on roads since first rides last year.
3.11.2014 - 7.1 miles. Out and back behind my house.
3.21.2014 - 5.0 miles. Bike trail in Foxburg, PA along the Allegheny river. Quick cold ride (32°) on the way home from work.
3.27.2014 - 5.3 miles. Out and back behind my house.
3.28.2014 - 9.8 miles. Made a nice loop from previous out and back runs behind my house. First time riding a pretty massive for me hill, 151 feet for 0.4 miles.
Total for March is 36.5 miles. Weather finally breaking so I hope to do way more than that in April starting today with taking the kids to the bike trail.

So I missed my goal again this month. I'd have been able to hit it if I kept to mostly road but the call of trails and dirt roads got me again. I ended up with 240 miles and 21,000 ft of climbing.

Distance goal: 160km/100 miles
Actual distance ridden: 181km/113 miles
Percent of goal completed: 112%
(No, this is not an April Fool's joke.)

Glad I didn't set a goal for this month, had a car borrowed for much of it and took advantage of that to be lazy. :/
Still got a little over a hundred miles in, a whopping 132.6 miles for March.
