Your Last Ride of 2013
 
Tell us about your Last Ride of 2013 ...


[HR][/HR]

Tuesday 31 December -- 16.5 km exploring and checking out potential "after work" routes. Plus a workout mid-ride at the local outdoor fitness equipment. It was a decent day out there, with a bit of wind.

Tomorrow. 33 miles.

I need to burn some holiday calories.

I am going to ride 15 miles today and will stop at 6600 for the year. That's 1700 less than last year but more than I thought I would ride, my priorities changed a little, I don't force myself to ride just to get mileage. I ride because I enjoy it.

Just finished an easy 24 mile ride. Finishing the year at just over 4700. First year of cycling. :)

Jakedatc 12-31-13 08:25 AM

Did 32mi sunday to finish up at 3250mi for the year. 650 more than last year. might start 14 off with a cold 22mi group ride in the morning.

You guys are way farther along than I am. It's currently 10 outside and has been unseasonably cold for the past month or so...so no outside riding for me. I draw the line at 32 and it has been well below that for weeks now.

I wrapped up my 2013 with a 15mi Sufferfest session in my basement last night, I'm off tonight. 1700 miles on the year...but truth be told, thanks to a surgery early this year, I was off the bike until late June. So...late June-Oct was honestly my main riding season, I can live with that.

Bob Ross 12-31-13 08:48 AM

I rode to work today...quiet, still, gray morning, very cold (22°F), went super-slow just taking it easy. About 9.5 miles.

Oh, wait, I'll have to ride home from work this afternoon too; that will be my last ride of 2013!

By "decent day" I mean that it was sunny and +20C today. :)

Today I'll say goodbye to the year with a painful but grateful 1.5hr base interval session. Close the year with pretty strong results and in the best shape of my life. Happy new years to everybody :)

Fun down by a car, like a *****, surgery, half a year of recovery, several thousand in debt.

f4rrest 12-31-13 10:00 AM

Haven't decided yet, but it's absolutely beautiful here today. Sun, no wind, 70F.

Maybe 40 miles at tempo around Griffith park. I'll definitely avoid the Rose Bowl route today!

Doing a group ride New Year's Day, going to be 65 miles.

My last outdoor ride of 2013 was back in October. It was a nice 40+ mile ride that included a climb I had wanted to try. Next year I'll do the same ride and tack on another 15-20 miles that include two more good climbs.

44 miles on the 29th. I had planned to ride today, but I finally caught my son's cold. I'm amazed I lasted this long considering the number of times he sneezed and coughed on me...got to love 5 year olds.

I appreciate it, but that didn't work for me.
I had to do this:

For Microsoft Windows XP, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Character Map.

Yes, XP. ;)

Oh, good to know, thanks. Now why didn't I already know that? Oh, yeah because it is so obvious...;)

My last ride of the year was Saturday. 20 or so mile shop ride. Not sure what my mileage was for the year. Guess I should check. I do know for a fact that regardless of what it was, I want to do more next year.
