    4/01 - 1hr spin - 16 miles
    4/02 - 1.25hr spin - 20 miles
    4/03 - 16 miles @16.3mph 700' climbing --- First outside ride of the year!
    4/05 - 32 miles @15.7mph 1,500' climbing --- Took way more effort then it should have. Have a lot further to get back in shape then i thought.
    4/06 - 16 miles @17mph 700' climbing --- felt a bit better, upgraded to between ok/tired at start of ride instead of tired/week.
    4/07 - 30min spin - 8miles
    4/08 - 1hr spin - 16miles
    4/09 - 45min spin - 12 miles
    4/13 - 16 miles @17.5mph with 700' climbing. Felt okay/normal at start of ride.
    4/14 - 16 miles @17mph with 700' climbing. Had some carbs (powerbar gel) for first time in a month - felt 'normal' at start of ride and after a 2nd gel energetic (first time in a month) by the end!
    4/15 - 16 miles @17.2mph with 700' climbing - 80% effort and no carbs. Finally felt 'normal' so Keto might work for me after all. Going to do a longer (2hr) ride this weekend to test my 'anti-bonk' diet.

    4/16 - 22 miles @19.7mph with 700' - Kept up with the 'A' riders for the first 27 min.
    4/16 - 44.5 miles @16.9mph with 2,200' - 45min break between rides for a snack then went on 2nd ride of the morning. Left with middle group (16-16.5 av) but dropped them.
    Did both rides with no carbs and 2nd ride with only 150 calories worth of nuts. (testing 'anti-bonk' keto diet). Was low energy for last hour but did better then I expected.


    Total miles: 250.5 miles
    April goal: 300 miles

    April climbing: 7,900'

    30.1 miles, 1308 feet yesterday. New PRs on a couple climbs I hadn't attempted recently!
    194.5/350
    Not going to hit my goal this month-forgot to factor in the week of vacation coming up that means virtually no riding!

    A few more rides to/from games, and commuting. Kinda surprised how short my commuting rides have been, but still, good to have something faster than my legs to use to get around town, and the hills are developing some muscles I haven't used in a long time.

    4/2 - 35 miles
    4/3 - 11 miles
    4/4 - 38 miles
    4/6 - 10 miles
    4/10 - 40 miles
    4/11 - 20 miles
    4/14 - 12 miles
    4/15 - 12 miles
    4/17 - 8 miles
    4/18 - 12 miles

    Total: 198 miles
    Goal: 450 miles
    Remaining: 252 miles

    Sub-Total: 198.53 km (123.36 miles)


    ** That's my longest ride since last November. :)


    Saturday 18 April -- 92.32 km
    Sunday 19 April -- 19.05 km

    Sub-Total: 309.9 km (192.56 miles)

    And again, Saturday's ride was my longest ride since last November. :)

    It was a tough one that included hills, wind, more wind, continued wind, a sudden weather change from reasonably warm to freezing cold and rainy ... the wind swung around to be a full-on headwind just then ... and because I had twisted my ankle shortly before the ride, it was giving me some trouble the hill/wind combos where I was really pushing.

    Sunday's ride was a walk-in-the-park by comparison.

    Great scenery both days. :)
