    Went on a ride yesterday. Made my 5 mile goal. The uphills I deal with around here kill me on most rides. By the end it was really pouring. I think the rain helped a lot. Didn't hear any lightening, though I am the crazy one that has always enjoyed extreme weather. I'd keep riding and be screaming for more. LMAO!!!

    Only got in a handful of miles the past few days, as I returned to the hills of Pittsburgh and have been doing more running than biking. Still, the tune up has worked wonders on my city commuter, and the bottom bracket hasn't been clicking, and the brakes are working better after my tires were trued.

    @steffenson - I think I may need to send a few of my monthly miles your way. Not sure that would count though. Still, 3 centuries + 2 metric ones (along with a bunch of shorter rides) is definitely a good way to crank up the total.

    5/5 - 16 miles
    5/6 - 12 miles
    5/7 - 12 miles
    5/8 - 12 miles
    5/9 - 20 miles
    5/10 - 12 miles
    5/11 - 10 miles
    5/13 - 17 miles
    5/15 - 42 miles
    5/16 - 14 miles
    5/17 - 30 miles @ 18 mph
    5/18 - 3 miles (just picking up the bike from the shop)
    5/19 - 12 miles

    Goal: 500 miles
    Total: 212 miles
    Remaining: 288 miles (/ 12 days = 24/day)
