    @Machka9, what a beautiful picture. Thank you so much for sharing!

    That photo was taken about 6 km from where I live. :)

    And it represents a little goal I've got ... to cycle all the way up to the top of that mountain. There is a road that goes up there, and every time we have driven up (only a few times) there have been cyclists riding up.

    I am not a climber. Too many years in Manitoba (Canada) where it is flat as a pancake. So I am in awe of the "mountain goats" on bicycles around here and how easy they make it look. But we've been doing climbing rides once a week and I'm building up the strength.

    Maybe next summer. :)

    Cycled home from work today and then my first spinning class. Hard work but good fun, I thought it would be hard but expected my road cycling would stand me in better stead.

    May to date - 158.5 miles

    Hey all,
    Yeah I'm still here. Just have been traveling a lot and no time to track miles. Been working out, but just not recording. I'll come back in June when I'm around more, although am traveling to Texas, but I'll try to keep better track.
    SO GOOD TOO 'SEE' YOU....PLEASE DO join us in June...I FOR SURE WILL BE HERE...

    Have been seeing all that about Texas.It really is sad.. :( One does not really comprehend things like that until you've been thru it. We had a tornado not far from here a few years back. It barely missed us. We drove around looking thru it all. All I could do was cry. It really hit home how bad those are. We were lucky it missed us and my brother. It missed him by 2 tenths of a mile...WE WERE BLESSED!

    Have not felt 100% today so I only managed a 1.75 mile walk...I guess it's a semi-rest day...

    TOTAL THUS FAR MAY 27TH..........122.75 walking miles...

    Tomorrow looking like bad weather so won't be cycling so will need a final push at the weekend. Good luck everyone.

    I'm done. I haven't it left in me to do the last few miles on the bike, even though the weather is favourable. Why so lazy? I've had my nephew staying for the weekend, and we've swung through the treetops, been on Segways, played board games and cards, and been up the climbing wall. I'm not used to entertaining teenagers and am shattered!!!
    me:

    Cycling - 71 miles
    Walking - 50.5/50 miles (includes anything above 1 mile showing on my fitbit)
    Swim - 30/100 laps
    Lindy Hop class - 3/4 times

    Total miles 121.5 miles


    I'll be back for June - so please top have found a challenge I want to do!! Not yet figured out my targets yet. See you all on the flip side!!

    We had planned to cycle a lot more on the weekend but high winds (gusting to 76 km/h) blew in on Saturday, and then on Sunday we got caught in quite a large hailstorm. It just wasn't meant to be this weekend.
